Nanoidsis a fresh and exciting space shooter game where you defend your planet Petra from the onslaught of the Nanoid invaders. On the left side of the screen you will find the rather small directional pad to allow your ship to maneuver while on the right side are your weapons. You will encounter different kinds of enemies and from the beginning the game will starts on a crazy fast pace and almost immediately you will be on a mad dash to survive. There are powerups and gold coins along the way to help you upgrade your weapons. The missions are incredibly challenging. I havent even squeaked by the first two levels yet - adding further to my interest in the game. This shoot em up is far from predictable. Its crazy fast and challenging, but its also very, very addictive. The game controls are a bit too small and often difficult to control. I can also barely see my ship - and by the time I do, its often too late. Also kill stats or some indication of how far Id gone to accomplish my mission would be helpful - and maybe its just me, but adjusting the level of difficulty would be great, too. I want to be able to move up and not die trying! The graphics and in-game sounds are top notch and I especially like the campy music to go with the retro sci-fi arcade feel of the game. When I had my first crack of the game, the first thought that came to mind was - "So this is how Star Wars feels like!". Excellent game destined for space shooter greatness.
