PC/PS4 releases were announced today (8 August), and the Switch version received a patch. Scoreboards and stats have received an overhaul, and the game auto-screenshots what it detects as the climax of your run.

Holy smokes is this ever fun! Controls and framerates are silk smooth, the weapons are satisfying to use, and the challenge keeps climbing. Already put in like 3 hours with this. So good!

Came here with questions but a lot of them answered alongside some great impressions. About to buy this. Hoping to be surprised.

Anybody know how much this will cost on UK PSN?

Any pro tips?

I got 80,000 on a level but the top people on the leaderboards are getting over 200,000... How?

It's all about the sniper beam.

This sub-weapon gets an immense amount of bonus points. Unleash it on a swarm of enemies whenever the opportunity presents itself. If your combo multiplier is high enough, you'll easily pick up 40,000+ points with every blast.

Keeping the multiplier alive and not taking any damage. Which level are you discussing in particular? I was pretty high on some of the early stages.

I thought when you dash, you have invincible frames through all projectiles and enemies? I've had multiple deaths because I thought I was going through something and I end up taking damage, am I just wrong on how invincible I am during a dash?

You can't dash through projectiles.

This is £7 on the Nintendo UK store now, thinking about picking it up. Good fun, is it?

For £7 it is a bargain. One of my Favourite Switch games.

Nice!!! Glad that more people are able to play this game. I hope PC and PS4 sales are good for the developer

I really should play this game more often my Switch....but at least I bought it?

Yes. Only put about 5 hours into the game but it's excellent. Very high quality stuff, I don't think you'll regret it.

Bought the game for ten buck (CAD) yesterday.

Can't wait to try it out tonight!

I gotta go back and start trying to get on the leaderboards again.

At one point in late April when I got my Switch I was top 50 WW on all of the first planet stages and even cracked the top 10 on some. Need to get back to try and keep those scores and move onto planet 2.
