Welcome!

5 hail to the free economy!
Hands down: this game isn’t very pretty nor is it exceedingly fun to play, in fact it starts to get boring after three minutes or so. But still there’s something that stick with me after playing, an uneasy feeling. Well, the scrolling from right to left (something rarely seen in the western world) combined with the monotone graphics, slight colourshifts and some tricky music, could have led to some kind of nausea. But that’s not what I meant: someting deeper, more real, maybe? Speaking of monotonous graphics, the gameplay is the same (as with all shmups, I guess): shooting, shooting, shooting… and some jumping in between.
Nothing new here. Now take all that together, what do you get? That’s right…life?! Chasing after something called highscore, won’t solve any problems, you might have fun, you might do not. The Red Wedge is very consequent regarding it’s whole design when it calls the player a capitalist for scoring a new high: aren’t we all just after it, the ‘highscore’?
The Red Wedge does a great deal in reflecting the human being in modern society, in fact it does so well, that despite it’s abstract looks (to say the least) you’ll want to play it over and over again: it’s like looking into a mirror, you know how you look like, but still you look at yourself again and again.
