Nice pixelart and interesting gameplay in theory. However, you'll find that the levels become repetitive really fast and that no amount of strategy will help you beat certain bosses faster. Not to mention that every achievement is broken and devs have seemingly abandoned the game.

Let me start this review by saying that few games have the charm that Sky Racket does. This is a game that truly incorporates both the developers' love for their work, and their absolute attention to detail! Sky Racket has an amazing aesthetic combo of great "retro-like" pixel art and one of the best soundtracks you will hear in 2019. Each level feels really polished and challenging. There are lots of genius puns …

Not bad, I wish there was a difficulty selector though. Difficulty starts out ok but ramps up rather quickly and the final boss is annoying because he blocks everything and their health bar at the bottom of the screen covers up some of the play area so I didn't finish the game after trying about a dozen times. If they modified a few things around like making the bullets a different color maybe with a glow would make …

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An amazing game! Full of colors and perfect controls. It just feels great to hit the ball and everything over and over again maxing out combo and trying to overcome the challenges. It's not an easy game, the dificulty is just about right, and you have extra challenges if you want to master the game. I really recommend it!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Let me paint you a picture. It is fall of 1994 and I am 14. I just got home from school, it's already getting kind of dark, and there's a cardboard box containing a brand new Sega Genesis game waiting on the porch. I'm from a small town, there isn't really a great place to buy games so I usually order new releases, when I can afford them, by mail order, like from the guys in the back of EGM or Gamefan.. it's kind of expensive, but I hadn't figured out I could order games online yet (heck, I…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Firstly, I must say that this game took me by surprise! At first glance, the game seemed to me your usual retro indie game with simple and basic gameplay features. While it's true that the gameplay is rather simple, it's still so very addictive! The more I played the more I was hooked. The levels of this game are well thought/designed and always makes you yearn for more. Each new level has somehow new gimmicks or enemies and the extra challenges you can do in each level (like completing a…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The FRESH world's first SHMUP BREAKER! If you're looking for an awesome arcade like experience with a fresh gameplay mechanic, this might be the game for you. Sky Racket is colorful, charming, challenging and even intense in some moments, but most importantly: it is FUN. Controls are responsive and the feeling of satisfaction for achieving a big combo, racking points and popping the awkward and unique enemies are all there. Challenge is fair, even if sometimes the amount of information on…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game kinda hit me out of the blue...and I am so glad it did. It's a mix-up of block breaker games and 2D STG's, where the main gimmick is destroying the enemies with their own bullets, since you are unable to fire on your own. I am impressed by how Double Dash managed to blend the genres so well and create something completely unique. The game definetly isn't easy, but the difficulty curve is so well set that you will never feel unprepared by the time next boss comes around. And speaking…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a cute, fun and unique blend of genres - and it supports Steam remote play together - so that means online co-op. You've got a racket, you don't attack on your own - and you can dodge roll to evade quickly, and to avoid stuff ( not a dodge roll with invincibility frames, it;s just to make your body smaller to squeeze in, you move faster when rolling ) You bat the round bullets the enemies shoot at you ( along with green shiny outlined smackable objects ) and the more times the ball…

Gameplay is fast paced and lots of fun, perfect for a two players local co-op, but still works great for solo play.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →cute game! half shump, half arkanoid. you play as one of 2 little kids (they play the same but you can still swap them on the level select screen) with 3 hearts and a tennis racket that can smack most round objects plus some enemies/small critters. there are also side kicks that will give you a special power and a extra hit when they are up. my only issues are that your a tad to slow (yes i know there's a roll) and your sprite is a bit to big.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In this video I take a look at Sky Racket, a side scrolling Arkanoid/Break Out shooter hypbrid. This is a really fun and lively game and the Arkanoid gameplay mixed with the side scrolling shooter was a pleasant surprise. It's well made with great animations, pixel art , and chip-tune music. Basically it's a quality title but my only complaint was your using an energy field to hit the balls so if your timing is bad you miss it, you can see me do it a few times at the start of the video. If it…

neutral · AI labelView post →A combination of horizontal shmup and brick breaking/breakout game by a Brazilian team that works surprisingly well as a concept, to the point I'm disappointed there are no other games like this! Our characters technically can't shoot, but instead use their rackets to send most bullets back to the enemies and destroy the floating bricks that appear everywhere. It has a simple but effective scoring system that gives us a multiplier if we manage to keep rebounding the balls as many times as…

neutral · AI labelView post →A very fun, unique shmup with cute graphics, wacky lore, and tough Arcade Mode to top it off. Great for beginners and veterans of the genre alike!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Maybe it's because I am colorblind but I've no idea what is going on. Don't let its childish appearance fool you - this game is hard. Made even harder by the constant trippy effects like space zooming by at the same color as the balls, the balls motion having trailing lines. Note you can hits balls but not lines, if try strike lines then you get hit.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This overall package is a stunning arcade offering, a mixture of mechanics that could generate as many clones as Slay The Spire and still stay fresh. If you're into SHUMP action or especially Breakout clones, Sky Racket is a must-play experience that offers hours of fun. Want to know more? My full thoughts are published over on [url=https://techraptor.net/originals/sky-racket-coverage-club]TechRaptor.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A fun and challenging game at the same time. The mix of genres, certainly is add to the mechanics, even if it feels a bit repetitive, the patterns of the enemy attacks and power ups are enough to keep you interested. I must confess I am not a huge fan of these kind of games, and certainly my skill is more than lacking, but for what it is I did have a BLAST playing this game. My daughter was laughing all the time watching me play, and when she wanted to enter the game it was even more fun.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is amazing. Probably there is no other way to describe it. Sky Racket is a mix of shoot'em up and Block Breaker genre where gameplay is simple and fluid, but, dont let that fool you into thinking the game is easy. It can be very challenging most of the time. Both the art and soundtrack are amazing and i need to say that this game gives you an absurd sense of nostalgia as it has countless references to arcades and other games from 80's and 90's. I highly recommend the game to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Amazing game! Super fun, inovative gameplay, cute visuals and impressive OST. There's also a co-op feature, aditional missions and special events (such as Halloween Invasion), which is way more content than the price tag suggests. I strongly recommend!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Although Double Dash Studios offered me a key to try this game before release on my channel, this is a completely non-biased review: Sky Racket boldly blends two game genres in a way we've never seen before - shmup's and brick breakers - and it's a surprisingly fun and well done mix made with lots of creativity and style, leading to many frantic moments that you'll wish they could last a bit longer... because the first playthough lasts around 2,5 hours. The game has that cool pixel retro…

Full review: https://www.keengamer.com/articles/reviews/pc-reviews/sky-racket-review-an-arcade-blend-em-up/ Such splendid absurdity (and color) is focal to the glitter of Sky Racket, a game that combines old with old to create new. Where it falters is whether players are willing to accept that the genre highs of both shoot-'em-ups and block-breakers may not be fully on display here. In theory, mixing two good things should create a better thing,…

The game thoroughly manages to stay diverse with the various mechanics it has and the way it blends different genres of gameplay. Pretty short though for the price, even getting all the level challenges only adds an extra hour or so to the game potentially. It's also weird that the developers bothered to put in a photosensitivity warning, but don't give players the ability…
