Indie Intermission – ‘Star Guard’ A Blast From The Past

Hello everyone and welcome to Friday, I’m sure you’re all happy to make it to the weekend and with the weekend comes the final free game of the week, today’s pick is Star Guard from Vacuum Flowers .

Star Guard is a very well created retro shoot em up that has you battling through hell to save the princess in this low-res sci-fi adventure. Although the initial story is quite lacking the game keeps you informed as you move through the levels by projecting text into the back ground filling you in to what has been happening in this far-flung corner of space.

The graphics and sounds really hark back to the early days of video gaming making for a very fun throw back to a simpler time in gaming. Star Guard is a very well put together game that may only suffer from the fact you can die countless times, and it does not even impact on your game progress.

Average play time – 20 minutes

Star Guard is a very interesting little game that manages to encapsulate video games from days gone by so well, showing these style of games still have a place in the modern day graphics heavy market.
