Pineapple Smash Crew is a fast paced and tactical blast-em-up, featuring tight squad formation shooting, aliens, robots, zombies and lots of grenades! As your team level up you can choose from an assortment of devastating grenades, including (but not limited to): rockets, laser grenades, machinegun grenades, suction grenades, mines, teleporters, holo-bait and bullet shields! also including rare powerups such as speed boost, bullet time, armour and super-laser! Smash through derelict spaceships, grab the loot and kill anything that moves! PSC draws on many classics for inspiration: Alien Breed, Cannon Fodder, Chaos Engine, Gain Ground and even Worms, Toejam and Earl and Speedball 2 . Warhammer fans may detect a subtle Space Hulk vibe in the mix too!
Amazing game, reminds me of the SNES game "Smash TV"!
It's a real shame the game doesn't have multiplayer as it is PERFECTLY suited for it, but with one developer this is understandable. For what the game lacks in multiplayer goodness it certainly makes up for in fast paced, retro, shmup action.
The music to this game is amazing, I will never get bored of starting a new ship and listening to the masterpiece of a soundtrack.
The grenades are all very unique and have a nice feature allowing you to detonate/activate them whenever. It's very hard to choose between massive firepower from traditional grenade explosions or saving up a bunch of health grenades.
What I find great about PSC is how you can either quickly blast through a level quickly, picking up the mothership coords on the way or (For those perfectionists out there like me) you can clear each room one by one. The latter will quickly rank up your mercs, and obviously lengthen the amount of time you spend playing the game.
I was sad to see there wasn't end game modes like survival or and endless level mode. Hopefully this can be added in through an update or DLC (I know i'll be buying it)
PSC is definitely worth a purchase.
