Plantronics M55 User Manual uses sound, light, and its cleverly claustrophobic control scheme to establish a convincing horror vibe--producing much more unease and creepiness than zombie games that rely more on mere gore. Unfortunately, Plantronics M55 User Manual is short, with just eight unlockable levels and a survival mode, and it also has no difficulty settings, which might otherwise help smooth out the game's punishing learning curve for more casual players. That said, Plantronics M55 User Manual is a seriously fun and seriously scary shooter that zombie fans will love. Plantronics M55 User Manual is a
free arcade game with 8-bit graphics, old-school sound and gameplay, and a circular range of movement reminiscent of classic stand-up tube-shooters like Tempest and Gyruss. Plantronics M55 User Manual' schtick is simple and addictive: you move clockwise or counterclockwise around the "surface" of a planet, shooting into the interior to take out advancing enemy bad guys--in this case, menacing little bees, birds, turtles, and centipede-type creatures, which emerge from holes in the planet's surface. The game's interface is explicitly styled after a stand-up arcade game: under the main screen, you press photo-realistic buttons to rotate left or right, shoot straight down from where you're standing, or blow up a screen-clearing bomb. You progress across eight different planets (mostly identical in terms of gameplay), collecting different power-ups and trying to survive through each short level. In addition to your default pistol, enemies also leave behind better weapons, including a laser that shoots through multiple enemies and a homing rocket that bends toward its targets (especially useful, given that much of the challenge of Plantronics M55 User Manual is mastering accuracy across the circular playfield). Even for such a simple game, Plantronics M55 User Manual does a good job of integrating small, thoughtful tweaks into the game, like an icy planet that you slide on, and the ability of tricky turtles to stop and reflect your shots. Plantronics M55 User Manual is an excellent homage to 1980s stand-up games, and--like the best of those games--still a good bit of fun to play now, especially for old-school fans.
