Our take on Really Big Sky
The store page foregrounds speed, variety and adaptive generation, but the core activity remains blasting through alien waves and hazards. The 12 modes and event list add breadth, while the description gives less attention to how much each mode changes the central shooting loop.
What is Really Big Sky?
Really Big Sky is a fast twin-stick shooter set in space.
Players blast through waves of aliens while facing bosses, giant laser planets, black holes, wormholes, lasers, planets and asteroids. The game generates attack patterns, enemy and boss strength, wave pacing and bonus availability based on play. It includes 12 game modes, 17 enemy types, power-ups, perks, a friendly mothership, ultra perks and ultra weapons. Players can break through solid planets and asteroids, travel through gas giants, and encounter events such as black holes, wormholes, Pandora Box, Panic Crashes and Warp Speed. A statistics system, secret unlocks, online scoreboards, Xbox 360 controller support and narration from a cockney AI are also included.
