Loaded with devastating planet-destroying bombs, you'll fight across the Universe. Seek out enemy worlds to obliterate, crush their defenders, crack their planet and harvest the remains for construction materials to upgrade your ship and continue your rampage.AsteroidsAsteroids exist throughout the Universe and are often the leftovers of planet formation. With Heckabombs detonating across the galaxy, asteroids are often the leftovers of planet destruction too! Mining them for resources allows you to build new weapons, upgrade equipment and resupply smartbombs.Every second level you'll race to harvest asteroids before the blast wave reaches you from the planet you just blew up!PlanetsAfter charging up on ship upgrades, you'll take on aggressive enemy ships, crash through their defensive lines and try to get close enough to their planet to drop a single, devastating Heckabomb onto it.Enemies come in various shapes and sizes from tiny fast-moving divebombers to massive lumbering tractor-beam transports that'll try to pin you down for other enemies to shoot.WarshipsEvery 10th level, you'll face increasingly huge enemy Warships. Each one carries a unique bonus upgrade that you can only get if you choose to engage the Warship rather than steer clear of it's deadly weapons and fighter launch bay.HardcoreIn Hardcore mode you get no continues and enemy accuracy, rate of fire and bullet speed all increase substantially. One life only, extra challenging fights, vie for a place on the elite hiscore table.CasualCasual mode unlocks when you complete just one level of the main campaign.

Asteroids and Geometry Wars fans would like this: a twin-stick shooter that is fun in bursts. An inexpensive and solid game!. A "fun while it lasts" twin stick shooter that looks like asteroids, but plays more like Super Stardust, only not as polished and not as good.Things start out promising: there's some variety, and a nice selection of upgrades between levels. The "collect salvage" levels are particularly fun, as the asteroids can quickly fill up the screen making dodging between explosions to pick up the glowy bits a blast. Unlike the other (timed) types of levels, you are at least somewhat in control of your own destiny on those. Problems start to creep in the mid-teen levels though.The upgrade system is somewhat crippled: you can't rearrange everything between levels, only upgrade some of what you have. Moreover, some upgrades like the secondary weapon are "locked in" once chosen. Unfortunately the most useful upgrade, shields, are consumable, so you are constantly re-upping those when you would rather be increasing your fire-power...and you will need to.By about level 17 or so, your guns start to feel severely underpowered. Even with a good spread shot, I could never quite get them to the point I wanted. Though you have a generous amount of extra lives, you can't change your upgrades between tries. Since the game only saves checkpoints every 10 levels, this leaves you having to play again from way...way...back when you just haven't chosen the right items. You will find yourself reaching level 18 or so and hitting a wall. Many, many tries later you might make it to the mid-20's and again, the same thing happens. You hit a wall that is just too hard to beat because you made the wrong choices earlier. All the lives in the world won't help you.So "just make the right choices" you say? No idea what those might be. A better solution would be to be able to add to your salvage (ie. currency) on replays so you can eventually upgrade. As is, perhaps there is some magical combination of upgrades that works, but I'll never find it. I'm too old to keep trying past the hours I've put into it, and there are lots of better, more balanced games out there to try instead.All in all, a game I really want to love, but one that I ultimately cannot.. Asteroids and Geometry Wars fans would like this: a twin-stick shooter that is fun in bursts. An inexpensive and solid game!. An OK game. Controls seem a bit clunky. I'd be willing to bet that a controller would be perfect for this title. If it can get it low-cost, do it. Lots of casual fun. Not a perfect title to be sure. Lots of annoying design issues like not being able to re-choose upgrades and an odd save system. (on levels 11,21,31) But for the $2 or whatever it was worth it.. The 2D space shooter has a long arcade pedigree, going right back to Asteroids. Heckabomb is clearly a proud descendant of that line, but is rather too arcade-like for a modern PC game. It may seem odd to chastise a game obviously trying to be arcade-like for succeeding too much at it, but some of the throwback elements of the game are clearly retrograde steps. For instance, Heckabomb puts a lot of emphasis on a numerical score, giving it pride of place at the top of the screen, and rewarding certain in-game feats with score bonuses. Most gamers in my own circle, these days, rate their play by progress or achievements, and pay no attention at all to a numerical score -- I know that I don't even glance at high scores anymore.Beyond a few additional play modes (Survival and the like, none of which couldn't really have been unlocked from the start) or the ability to start from a higher level Heckabomb doesn't offer any form of progress -- every game is like a fresh quarter in the machine. There's an upgrade shop (with balance issues; some upgrades are downright traps) but your upgrades are tied to your playthrough, and vanish with your destruction. This gives the game no sense of long-term reward. It's more akin to an arcade machine that offers the same experience to each new player than a modern PC game that rewards investment of time and development of skill.Beyond the "arcadiness" issues, which, for better or worse, were clearly intentional, Heckabomb has some small problems. The balance issues with the upgrade shop have already been mentioned. More importantly though, the devs fell into a graphical trap that afflicts some space games. Game devs sometimes see pretty pictures of nebulae, and realize that space doesn't have to be a boring black starfield. Space can be colourful and interesting! So they fill their spacebackround with exciting, vibrant colour! That same excitingly coloured background, however, can camouflage enemy shots that you would like to avoid, unless the graphics are carefully managed to prevent this problem. Heckabomb does not succeed at avoiding the problem, and, in the chaos of lots of shooting enemies on-screen at a time, certain types of enemy fire can be completely lost against the background.There is a good deal of polish in Heckabomb. but its flaws and odd throwback mentality make it a poor choice compared to a more contemporary take on the same style of gameplay, such as Space Pirates and Zombies.
