Review Starship Patrol (DSiWare)
Q Games has another hit on its hands.

q-games! tower defense! Yeah! I am ready to buy!! Finaly something good on DSiWare after several weeks of.... of something not good.
Sounds very interesting.
With the undeniable awesome-ness of INTERSECT and Reflect Missile, this looks like an instant buy for me.
I'm getting this after I get Shantae, after I get Dark Void Zero and Touch Solitare. I love tower defense games, and by Q-games? Of PixelJunk Monsters fame?!? Sign me up!
This is my favourite game on dsiware so far. I only wish there was more of it but it's still great value for it's price.
best game i eve bought for £5. the music is Attack! Koopas fleet from the Super mario galaxy sountrack.
I love this one. I appreciate the well balanced difficulty: challenging, yet never frustrating. And the designers did a great job with that minimalist look.
