LoliLoli: Race to the Moonlight Party

It’s not difficult to see why shoot ‘em ups are not very popular nowadays, but it’s also easy to see why there’s still a big audience still rooting for the genre. Hence, if you are old enough to have been around for the classics, then you are most definitely still looking forward to any new shoot ‘em up, especially if it involves space and fast-paced gameplay mechanics.

LoliLoli: Race to the Moonlight Party is a fast-paced shoot ‘em up in which your primary goal is to shoot everything in front of you and try to avoid the enemy bullets at the same time. It’s much tougher than it sounds, especially since everything moves extremely quickly and you have a limited number of lives you can waste, but that’s why the game is so fun.

The story is very simple and unimpressive, but then again it’s designed to stay in the background and provide you with a random reason for all the explosions on the screen. As such, you play the role of a girl by the name of Paula Petticoat, who’s in a rush to make it to the Moonlight Party. However, a horde of enemies waits between her and her destination, which why she must move quickly and clear the way as fast as possible.

Every enemy you kill drops a few colorful orbs that you can pick up, and these orbs provide you with experience. Naturally, experience allows you to level up and get more powerful, which actually means that your weapon is upgraded. This usually means more streams of bullets at the same time, but there are other types of upgrades later on as well.

As for the controls, you only need a handful of keys to enjoy the game, which is great for both hardcore players and beginners alike. On the other hand, the fast pace of the game might discourage newcomers, that’s for sure. The graphics are as simple as they can get, which might not be very attractive for the new generation of gamers.

All things considered, LoliLoli: Race to the Moonlight Party’s true strength rests with its difficulty level, because everything else is rather mediocre. However, it can captivate your attention for quite some time if you don’t like to back down from a challenge.
