Review: Like it
Recommendation: Fun game with decent replay value. If you've overplayed some of the staples, such as Zombieville USA or iDracula, and are looking for something new, Belowscape might help satisfy your craving.
Replay Value: High

Belowscape is a fun retro twist on survival shooters in the same genre as iDracula. Players control a blue-triangle spaceship fighting against other various neon retro shapes (each with their own special properties). There are two different modes to the game, Survival and Rush, and the goal of each is to survive as long as possible while obtaining the highest score possible. The game includes a global leaderboard to encourage competition.

Where this game really shines is in its flexibility of control options. Players can choose from onscreen joysticks, tilt controls, point to move, and point to shoot; this means players can play how ever they feel most comfortable (I personally prefer the joysticks--very well done).

Overall, the game is well-designed, fun and enjoyable. And while their might not be much depth to the game itself, excellent controls and build-in competition help make up for it. Great game for anyone looking for a new survival shooter.
