Assault Android Cactus
When you're running on battery, make every second count! Assault Android Cactus+ is an arcade style twin stick shooter set in a vivid sci fi universe. Junior Constable Cactus is outside her pay grade when she responds to a distress call and ends up stranded on a crippled space freighter under attack by its own robot workers. Utilising a draining battery mechanic in place of lives, Assault Android Cactus challenges you to think fast and keep the bullets flying, blending the gameplay of western styled arena shooters with aspects of Japanese style bullet hell as you charge head first through transforming stages, massive boss battles and an eclectic cast of characters on the way to saving the day. 9 playable androids, each with a distinct play style and personality 25 stage campaign spread across five areas of the ship, face down giant bosses, earn characters and uncover the story of the Genki Star

A gem of the genre with some fun quirky humor. Works perfectly on linux as it does on windows.
The music's really cool, the levels are fairly numerous and varied, and the same can be said for the enemies, characters and weapons. It's got good gameplay and game mechanics, and of course it also appears to be rock solid and bug free, haven't had a single issue.
Visually nice, and somehow manages to also stay visually manageable even when there's a ton of action, which is something a lot of games can't get right. You know where you are and where to go and what to get at all times.
And the way it plays is pretty engaging, you have to stay active to stay alive and recharge your battery, which gives it a good kind of tension. It offers a fair challenge, too.
After I started playing, I couldn't stop, had to finish the whole thing. Then I went to unlock new weapons and play the infinity drive mode, which I still pick up to play from time to time years after finishing the game.
Really love this, it's both fun and pretty, and a very replayable thing to come back to.

Devs, if you ever see this, I need to know if there will ever be a sequel. This game is one of my all time favorites. I beat it over and over on xbox. Now, I'm stuck trying to S+ all of the levels on PC. Aubergine is nuts btw, I love her.
The combat is amazing, the gameplay is fun, and there is so much in the game that can be built off of to be put into a sequel. I'm always finding myself turning back to this game.

Premiere twin-stick shooter. Casual play is forgiving and has lots of variety. Local co-op is chaotic fun. The iceberg goes pretty deep with skill achievements and S+ rankings even before you get to score optimization, of which I've barely scratched the surface.

Very solid twin stick shooter. I played in co op with friends and we have been able to blast through most of the game by now. The difficulty definitely scales up in the last 1-2 areas and its very fun.

I couldn't beat the final boss so I got my girlfriend to do it for me and I loved how pretty it looked as it approached a bullet hell. The characters have so much more unique dialogue than I expected and I really loved the voice acting. Sometimes it feels like there's no way to improve tactically and you just have to get lucky with the spawns, but the game didn't feel random most of the time.

Best twinstick shooter I've played.
The score/grade system will make the completionist kind of people get addicted.
Creative/diverse cast of classes/characters that will make you enjoy different ways to play.
This game need a sequel, what the hell.
Devs pls ! I beg you.
