Side Saddle Review
By pubby8 on 12 January 2009


Pros: Good Music, easy to play, Decent graphics, A very nice "Homemade" feel

Cons: Enemies were dull and lifeless, you could not move diagonal, Ammo feature was extremely annoying, Pop-ups distracting

Pooby's Reviewbies

Side saddle is a reletively simply SHMUP with one difference: you can only fire sideways. It may seem a bit awkward a first, but soon you get better and are able to take on the waves of enemies.

The game's graphics are all hand-drawn. I've played many games like this, and I cannot say this game really shines in it's graphics. On the other hand, they are clean and fit, and give a nice "Homemade" look to the game.

The gameplay is much more frustrating that exciting, and I found myself practically screaming with the annoying "Out of ammo" popup that comes up almost every second. Also, the ship cannot move diagonal, a major flaw as most SHMUPS allow 8 way direction.
