After I’d played Chaos for about an hour, I decided I had better search the Inter-tubes for other reviews on this game. Here are some of the comments I found:

“A homeless man’s Geometry Wars, but really, for not much more money, you can actually have Geometry Wars”

“While playing, I found myself getting frustrated and upset. My fun came from pressing yes to quit the game”

I fired up the game again, and tried another hour, but I still couldn’t come up with anything kinder than the above.

Chaos is a viciously unforgiving game. It’s a dual-stick shooter, but instead of shooting, the second stick causes you to emit a weak force-field. Using this field, you have to try to slow down bouncing balls of death. I died 150 times before I cleared the first screen. I have never cleared the second screen.

Download the trial only if you’re having too much fun, and need something to bring you down. Buy this game only if you’re a masochist.

Chaos – 80 points – Action & Adventure – Download
Twin-stick shooter with no bullets. Instead you control some kind of shield. I thought the controls and collision detection were poor.

ULTRA-POWERED MASSAGER! – 80 points – Other – Download
Yet another massage game. This one has a couple of mini games but they are even worse than the massage itself.

Zombie Mania – 400 points – Action & Adventure – Download

Pac-man clone with zombies and a lumberjack. It plays OK but the animation is poor. 400 points is far too much as well.

Beer Screensaver – 80 points – Other – Download

Poor screensaver. It doesn’t even look like beer.
