+Good (though simple/retro) graphics with nice colors and cool intentionally glitchy video (you can turn the intentional graphical glitches off) though the effect is not extremely obtrusive.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
19 of 240 sampled reviews raised it
As with Ultratron, Droid Assault’s difficulty ramps up fairly slowly but can become extremely challenging by level 40.
Co-op

14 of 240 sampled reviews raised it
Also recently added by Puppygames is local co-op which gives this game additional value and replyability.
