XY7 1.1.1

When I have a little bit of spare time on my hands, I like to relax and enjoy a fun video game. I can’t really explain why, but I’ve always liked shoot’em up games where I am in control of a spaceship or fighter plane, or some other type of ship and I have to battle my way through waves and waves of enemies. I find this sort of game exhilarating and I could spend hours and hours playing away.

The Dark Shadow Games-developed XY7 suited my tastes perfectly. I was put in control of a fighter plane and I had to battle my way through numerous ground units and alien units and bosses. As I battled I uncovered different bonuses and got upgrate points I could use to buy ship upgrades that made my life easier. Here are some numbers to better put things in perspective:

- There are 29 action-packed levels.
- You can uncover 22 different ship upgrades.
- You can get 12 in-game bonuses.
- You will have to battle again 38 types of alien units, 19 types of ground units and 21 boss units.

As mentioned above, I can play this game whenever I have a bit of free time on my hand. I can just relax on the couch and start blasting aliens away. When I’m out and about, on a train ride for example, or when I have to wait for something, I can take out my iPhone and do some more blasting. It’s not a waste of my time, it is an enjoyable means of passing the time. I don’t feel like I didn’t get something done, I feel like I spent my time in an pleasant manner.

So if you want to check out a fun and addictive shoot’em up game, I would advise you to give XY7 a try. It is a fun game that has you battle all sorts of aliens and powerful bosses. The goal is to clear blast everything in sight and gather upgrades to be more efficient at blowing stuff up, of course.
