This setup may sound limited, but the mechanics are made engaging through an upgrade system that allows players to enhance their arsenal with lasers, homing missiles, shields, and devastating nukes that can clear the screen in emergencies.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
10 of 274 sampled reviews raised it
Easy to learn, "plug & play" but, with increasing difficulty and clear instructions before every new thing to learn.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
9 of 274 sampled reviews raised it
It has a fun but highly repetitive soundtrack, and pleasing cold-war theming.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
8 of 274 sampled reviews raised it
I love everything about it, although I'd really enjoy some more unlockable weapons, areas, enemies, bosses etc.

Space Codex is a casual retro arcade minimal awesome top-down shooter featuring waves of enemy spaceships with different attacks in what is, literally, a bullet hell. To beat them, you will have power-up options available through the map. The game only gets harder. How long can you stay alive?
