In terms of mechanics this game is decent enough, and it reminds me of a less-restrictive Hellfire, which is neat.
Audio

10 of 103 sampled reviews raised it
The audio design complements the gameplay with an energetic soundtrack that reinforces the fast-paced nature of the experience.
Story

The story in Power-Up is simple sci-fi fare but is effective through its usage of snazzy dialogue and slick visuals that all give a nostalgic retro flare.
Graphics

The Game has full Controller Support which unlike many others, actually work, however there are no Options to change the Button Layout, but the default Layout is ok.
