Part of my under $1 space shooter games on Steam review series.
Bit Blaster XL gives a lot of bang for your buck and is one of the older Steam low priced arena shooters. The game pits you against enemies that come from the sides and the player controls a spaceship which must blast them out of the air. You can collect coins to unlock more ships which control differently and some have more shields/hitpoints. Once the ships are unlocked the game doesn't have a lot more to compel you to play other than score chasing for leaderboard places.
The game is always fun to pick up and play but doesn't have some of the features such as challenges, and co-op mode that other low-cost Steam game's like Super Mega Space Blaster Special have. Overall the game is a lot of fun and well worth the money.

A really fun retro pixel art shooter. It is great value for money at less than a dollar. Unlock spaceships to shoot with and blast more bad guys to get higher scores. Simple but addictive fun.

A cheap but cheerful take on the classic Asteroids except with more ships to choose from and weapons too. If shmups aren't your thing, especially if they're retro-styled and lacking much depth, then Bit Blaster XL might not be worth a look but considering it's only $1 and you even get a free soundtrack to boot, I doubt it. Recommended.

Aside of the amazing fun provided by this old school 'asteroid-like', the game is super useful in short 5-minute sessions while you've been working on your PC (like I do).
It's really bringing back that asteroid no-brainer feeling while keeping all your thinking cognitively busy. I'm like basically 6 hours a day in front of my PC and I've found Bit Blaster XL to make it easier to focus afterwards by turning off the heavy thinking while I put my concentration on not getting hit while reaching the highest score. I swear this game would really be effective for testing human cognition.
Addictive, amazing weapons and gameplay, old school, cheap. Really, buy it.

Bit Blaster XL is an addictive arcade game inspired by old school space shooters like Asteroids. It provides solid few hours of entertainment for its cost.

Story: None
Gameplay: 6/10
The soundtrack is nice, fast tempo chiptune. The graphics are pixel art, but nothing too unique or impressive. The gameplay is veryu fun for a short time. This is a fun arcade game to play for a little while
Overall: 6/10

Summary A throwback to the classic quarter eating arcade games of the 80's. Bit Blaster XL is a retro styled, addictive, and fast paced arcade shoot 'em up! (shmup). Your ship can not stop moving; so you must turn it left and right and use your boost/brake to keep from crashing into an ever increasing amount of enemies. Your ship is always sho...
