Kryzer is a full blown 360 degree arcade game in which you control a spaceship fighting against enemy entities.  Although this isn’t a remake of any classic game, Kryzer really brings back the old arcade gaming experience.  The object of the game is to hunt down enemies by shooting at them, all you have to do is control your proximity to and from the inner circle.  Seem easy?  Bring it on; you’ll need some awesome reflexes to get in the high scores on this bad boy.  The game will continue to speed up (and change colour to notify you) and more enemies of different types will appear.  Every level you’ll also get a snake boss which can be a tricky thing to beat.

Due to the repetitiveness of the game, a few users might quickly forget about Kryzer and move on, the other 95% of it’s audience, will put it on the first page of their iPhone and be immensely addicted to it.   With it’s smooth and sleek graphics and very stable gameplay, you’ll be quite addicted.  I’ve found it to be the perfect pick up and play game, even though a game could very well last for hours (ok you’d have to be pretty good), the average game would be around 10 minutes, you can exit the app at any time and then pick it back up at any time with your progress saved.

The sound effects really move along our arcade paradigm we’ve got going here, they can get slightly annoying like most arcade game’s sound.  However the gameplay will really overcompensate and create a delightful ambiance for your addicted mind.  I really haven’t found anything I don’t like about this app.  Maybe a storyline or additions to the app throughout the game would be nice, and that’s really what stopping from getting this classic a 10/10.

So if you’re an arcade freak or just like a good addicting game, pick Kryzer up.  For a mere dollar this is one of the best values I’ve seen.  If you’re not sure about it, there is a lite version.  Enjoy!

Final Ratings:

Gameplay: 8.2/10 – Simple but immensely immersive.

Enjoyment: 9.5/10 – There was a point where this was definitely my favourite app.

Graphics: 8/10 – With any app, they could be better; I really like the style of Radial 50 with the cool background graphics.  Maybe Kryzer could implement this.

Sound: 7/10 – It’s an arcade game – not good not bad.  Really adds to the gameplay though.

Technology: 8/10 – Even though it just uses two touch buttons to control it, it’s the stability and sleek user interface that brings this rating up.

Replay Value: 9.7/10 – This is one of the most addicting apps I’ve played since Trism or Phaze.

Overall Rating: 8.9
Note the average rating is actually 8.4 but we’ve given it a half bonus point cause it deserves it.

Further Improvements: (Note to the developer!)

• Different sound effects
• Better backgrounds then just the plain ones now
• Storyline or some reward to get throughout the game
