I have to say it's fun and made me keep going back but where's my reward?

I found this game for less than $2, it's hard not to buy it even if to prove you $2 wrong. I was surprised with it. My first reaction was not really great, it felt very simplistic, and it actually is really simple, plug and play game that challenges you here and there and it's relatively short. You have 10 missions that are pretty much the same, shoot and shoot and find secret places to explore.

You start the game with a machine gun with infinite ammo, but you'll acquire level ups and new powerful weapons during the game. The game will auto save at the end of the level, so you have to keep playing all the time. The boss fights fall in the same fighting mechanism and are not too hard to defeat. Instead of walking sideways they appear in front of you, like Contra, so you see the back of your character, so get a heavier weapon and shoot, the narration instructs where to aim.

OK, let's go to the story, which is pretty much none. There's an initial animation telling you the plot... Nothing really new, but when you beat the game, that's it, you get nothing other than the credit screen. I'm not asking for a Hollywood script but at least reward the player with something, just anything at all.

If you have $2 in your wallet this will keep you entertained, it's better spent than a micro coffee at Starbucks!
