이 게임은 ddong게임입니다. 하지만 정말 유쾌한 ddong게임입니다!

기본적으로 이 게임은 케이브 계열(도돈파치, 대왕생 등)
탄막 슈팅 게임의 마이너 카피 게임입니다. (사실 이름부터가...)
게임 방식이나 주요 포인트들은 많이 비슷하지만
256 컬러가 생각나는 도트 그래픽은 참으로 처참 하죠

근데 충격적인 것은 파워업 형태 입니다!
게임을 진행하다 보면 숫자와 연산자가 떨어집니다.

"6+"

이런 식으로요.
그걸 먹으면 다음엔 숫자가 떨어집니다.

"7"

이런식으로요.
이즘 되면 짐작하시겠지만 다음엔 정답이 나옵니다.
3지선다로요.

"18" "13" "42"

ㅋ..
ㅋㅋㅋㅋ.
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
탄막 피하기도 바쁜데 산수까지 하가면서 정답을 맞춰야
파워업을 할 수 있습니다. 당연히 틀리면 파워다운 이고요

......아 정말 이런 엽기적인 발상을 한 개발자에게 아낌없는 찬사를 보냅니다.


게임성과는 별개로 힙합풍의 BGM은 상당히 고퀄리티입니다.
스테이지 별로 곡이 마련된 게 아니라 여러곡 중 선택해서 한곡을 무한 반복하는 식이지만
중간에 곡을 바꿀 수도 있고 아무튼 듣고있으면 상당히 신납니다.


아무튼 나름 패드도 지원하고...
남보고 사라고 추천하고 싶은 생각은 없지만 아무튼 싱남!!! <-

이 제품에 붙인 내 태그는 쿠소라고 말해주고싶다.

돈이 아까워 다시 해봤지만 도져히 못하겟다....

쓰레기 그래픽에 하다보면 점점 시끄러워지는 힙합 배경음.. 그리고 수학까지 잘해야된다.

아마 이 겜을 클리어한다면 당신은 엄청난 수학가가 되지않을까..

Super Killer Hornet: Resurrection feels like the sort of game that would come to a developer out of a bizarre fever dream. Imagine a hyperactive shmup, involving a homicidal insect (which may actually be a spaceship), fighting a barrage of alien demon creatures across planets. Now picture it set to a soundtrack by British hip-hop rock artist The Sixty Fours, in which you create combos and get upgrades by solving basic math problems, and you've got a pretty good idea of what Killer Hornet is.

For as ludicrous as the premise sounds, as a fan of shmups I was still open to giving it a chance and hoping to be if not impressed, then at least entertained. The problem though is two fold: firstly the outlandish components fit poorly together, and on top of being really weird seem gimmicky, like the developers pulled random nouns and adjectives out of a hat and based the game around them.

Second, taken by themselves the different parts that make up Killer Hornet are of a very low quality, almost to the point of embarrassment. The shooting is bland and the enemies the very definition of "cannon fodder", flinging themselves into the path of my gun and being incredibly boring to fight. Few new enemies get added over the games 6 levels (which take about 30 minutes to complete, but this is countered by bosses being reused repetitively to inflate the length of the levels without actually adding anything new. Neither of the two soundtracks are noteworthy, with The Sixty Four's being particularly jarring as it is essentially the same as playing an MP3 over the sound effects and doesn't effect or connect with the action on screen. Most glaring though is the art direction, an area I historically give a lot of slack for the sake of "artistic expression", but in this case cannot dismiss how truly awful it looks (made even worse by running at a locked 640x480 resolution).

It's been awhile since a game has inspired the roller coaster of momentary surprise and excitement so quickly followed by disappointment and disgust that Super Killer Hornet did. It's a shallow, poorly made game with an absurd price tag that I honestly don't believe belongs on Steam. It's crazy setup might have made for a fun 5-minute flash game, but is not something I can get behind as a retail title, and my advice for anyone considering it would be the same as for those confronted by an actual hornet: stay away or expect to get stung!

I think the verdict on this one is save your money.
It plays and looks very much like a student's term project, rather than a fleshed out game.
As a bonus addon to a groupees bundle, it's right at home. But charging $7 for this, on sale, just seems unethical.

Boasts full controller support, but there's noticeable input lag with a 360 controller on movement and bombs. Bombs don't go off immediately when used, so you can still die after bombing (and it'll still use your bomb). It's also not clear what level of enemy they destroy, some will survive the bomb and instantly KO you, as there doesn't seem to be hit invuln while bombing. Maybe chalk that up as a "feature".

The soundtrack options are limited to a few songs, nothing autoswaps. When you pick a song, you're limited to that one song on repeat for the rest of your gameplay, until you start a new game and pick a new one. Gets old real fast.

Graphics, well.. you can see the screenshots. But instead of endearing retro, it just feels cheap. Not a major point of contention, but it's a little weird. Clash of styles.

Finally, the math system is wholly unnecessary. What demographic is this being marketed towards? The "Brain train twist" is elementary-grade addition, subtraction, and ohboy sometimes multiplication being thrown at you amidst the bullets. It feels poorly thought out to say the least. Various numbers will fall during gameplay, and you collect them to boost your power upgrades, forming equations + answers. 8+1=45 is totally mentally taxing, I think this game just might be too hard for me. Once you hit max power, it then becomes a game of dodging the numbers, so you don't accidentally downgrade yourself. During the 2nd stage's razor blade mode, you can't even see the numbers falling in the swarm of enemies that appears, and will likely eat a downgrade or two. The 2nd stage boss forces you to assemble these equations, if i may even call them that, while dodging bullets as your sole way of damaging the boss in the second phase of the fight. Just let me shoot stuff, please.

All in all, I think this is the first shmup I really disliked. The math system is an unnecessary dilution of what would be otherwise somewhat passable gameplay.

edit: In survival mode it does away with the math, feels much more coherent.

Pros
- Clean, tight controls
- Very challenging game
- Interesting and original soundtrack
- Recognizes and supports XB360 pad

Cons
- No options at all
- fixed resolution is very low and not widescreen (cannot be changed)
- Short game with only six levels

The game is pretty fun, but just feels very unpolished. Visually it feels like you are playing a zoomed in Gameboy Advance title. I enjoy the game, but don't think it is worth the price they are asking. I got it on sale for $6.99 and it feels a bit much for something this barebones. I would have loved to see the game support higher resolutions, to me that omission is a dealbreaker.
