Radical Spectrum: Volume 1

Gameplay idea isn't bad, but very RNG dependent. You could face "Game over" quickly when there's a black circle and there's not enough R/G/B circle which could be collected before black circle touch the ground. Tutorial/shortcut can be seen on game options which could be missed by many player.

The only way to get a shot is to gather three globs of a single color without touching another color. So the core of the game is deciding which color to gather and deciding...

From the moment the action begins, the game establishes itself as a throwback to classic arcade cabinets, where the objective is simple on paper but...
