Instantly lost a point for being a zip file instead of a proper installer. It really needed that point too. This miserable arena shooter combines awful graphics with boring sound and gameplay so bereft of excitement I was almost annoyed at wasting 5 minutes of my day on it. It scores a single solitary point just for not crashing.

Synchronicity is a hacker-themed Galaga-style arcade shoot-em-up where you’re responsible for blasting abstract geometric shapes in order to progress through the game. As you play through the game you’ll earn points to spend on upgrades, which will hopefully allow you to survive longer on your next go through the game. This loop is very repetitive and the lack of a save feature ensures that you’ll be playing the same sections many times over, which I found extremely frustrating.

Synchronicity is an amateurish shooter whose highlight was the somewhat interesting load screen. As soon as the game started, I had an intense urge to hit ALT+F4. It’s more of a hobbyist’s game than an indie game. It could have been made in a few days and I’ve seen prototypes with more complexity and better graphics…but it didn’t crash so that’s a plus.

Synchronicity is a well put together arcade game. The premise puts you in the “hacker” seat as you blast away polygons. The enemies come at you fast, so you’ll have to upgrade your player or last only a few seconds. I would play this game more, but I might be just shy of buying it. There was nothing about the graphics and style I didn’t like. Download wasn’t a problem and I didn’t have issues with running the game from the website. Also there’s the added bonus of getting your name on the ranking list. Well done.
