Review of Chromium B.S.U.


This is just a quick little free arcade game. It plays like arcade games from the 80s, but has better graphics and sound.

There's not too much I can say about it. It's not designed to take hours of your time, and it is designed to be hard. This is straight from the FAQ:

Q: I keep getting killed. Why is is so difficult?
A: Quitcher whinin', you ninny! It's supposed to be hard! Seriously, Chromium B.S.U. is intended to be a 15 minute adrenaline rush/mental cleanser. Frequent doses of explosions (even your own) can be very therapeutic.





You move your ship and fire, and pick up upgrades. As enemy ships pass you, you lose lives...er...I mean spare ships. That's it.

Simple enough, eh?

I enjoyed it enough to not unisntall it, and added it to my casual games directory, for when I want a few minutes of gaming and not more. As such, it will stay installed.


Summary: 2 stars outta 5. It does what it sets out to do, but that goal ain;t high.
