Developed by Ska Studios
Released for XBLIG (1/2014)
TIME VIKING!!!!!ANDSPACERAPTOR is a bit of an oddity, where you play as the "time viking" blasting your enemies with twin-stick shooter style controls. The art definitely has that Ska Studios look to it, resembling drawings that jumped right off the paper and onto your screen. The objective in the game is to kill your enemies, and as you shoot them there robotic remains will pile up underneath your character. The objective is to build this scrap pile all the way to the moon. Some enemies will drop weapon power-ups when killed which will give a limited amount of ammunition. The game is a bit easy at first but the enemy swarms do pick up eventually. There's some rock music going on during the affairs which suits the action quite well. TIME VIKING!!!!!ANDSPACERAPTOR makes decent use of the twin-stick control scheme layout, though it seems a bit odd that your character can't jump. The game contains a single level that can be completed in roughly 20 minutes. It's not bad, but it's very simple and short. It's definitely not quite as good as the developers other efforts that made it over to XBLA. Why did they feel the need to make the game's title look as if it's from an angry 10-year old's YouTube comment?
Final Verdict: TIME VIKING!!!!!ANDSPACERAPTOR is a strange game where you build a skyscraper to the moon on your enemies remains. Unfortunately, it sounds a bit cooler than it is in execution but it still was not a bad buy for the dollar asking price.
