This is an homage to old school vertical shootem' ups, like 1942 and Raiden. Fantastic graphics, music and sound effects. 91% positive reviews on Steam, and drops trading cards. Available for Windows, Mac OSX and Linux.
It differs from the mobile versions by being rewritten for landscape displays and removing the delay when all your ships are dead.
It's a bit hard at first whilst your weapons and magnet are weak. It's much more enjoyable once you've levelled them up a bit.
Unfortunately not quite as good a deal as last time.
