Let me get this out of the way right now. This is an absolute masterpiece of a game. You may wonder how I know this considering I only have a half hour of game time. It's because I played the demo for 20 hours before this released! This is like the demo but much much much more! More upgrades, more enemies, more days, more cities, more everything.

UMF is like a game from another dimension where arcades still rule the video game world and vector screens never went out of style. Let me paint a picture for you...

-----------------
The year is 20XX. The school bus dropped you off at an early stop. It's a short hike to the local strip mall. It's there your destination lies.

As you approach the nondescript building, your imagination already spinning, and reach out to grab the cold, rough handle. Pulling back, you open the blacked out door and walk into the dark, smoke filled room of your local video arcade. The sounds of pinging pinball machines and the clack of pool tables fills one ear. In the other you hear the digital harmony of 2 dozen arcade cabinets, each playing out the music of their attract modes, begging the gamer to deposit a token. The neon lights from the glowing screens seems all the more phosphorescent from the hazy cigarette smoke.

Then you see it. The new game everyone on the playground was talking about: Utopia Must Die.

You quickly run to the token machine, pop in the lunch money you saved (being full is overrated), and excitedly powerwalk up to the machine. A line has formed already so you line up your token against the bezel on the screen under the marque and wait your turn.

You watch as all the other kids have a go at it "So colorful! WOW! He made it to the 30th day!" Maybe you'll do better. You've heard talk on the playground about some of the crazy enemies you find late into the run, but you're not sure how much is true or how much is just talk, but today you hope to find out.

Your turn has come! You pop in your token, the crowd behind you huddles in close, and begin to play. It's everything they said it would be!
-----------------

That's the world this game comes from. A lost era. But at least there's developers like Pixeljam to remind us of those days.

Can't wait to see what you have planned coming up guys! The game is already more than worth the asking price. Even if nothing else is added, it's a complete game right now.

So yeah, buy it now. It's fantastic!

Edit: Just figured I'd check back in after 5 hours and say I'm still loving it!

An arcade-ish game with upgrades! No meta-progression, just skill. Very stylish.

A classic vector-graphics game that never was, but now is! Missile Command if all the other space shooters at the arcade replaced the nukes and were attacking all at once. Beautiful synthesized covers of classical music a la Wendy Carlos.
If it had existed back in the day, I would have fed a multitude of precious quarters into it!
