If you love outwitting bullets, you will love Clean Asia.There is just something incredibly satisfying about zipping through chunks of your enemies and using their own debris as weapons against them. If you’ve overlooked this game in the past, or if you’ve never played it… TRY IT. KILL SOME VECTOR BOSS GUYS.

it... it grew on me :')I wasn’t immediately hit by the game play or knocked back by the electronic soundtrack. To me it just seemed to be another inaccessible shmup that required a massive amount of amphetamines to keep track of all the blinky lights.
I thought nothing of it until I redownloaded the cactus arcade after an os reinstall. Mostly to play shotgun ninja but I gave clean asia another try.
And THAT is when it bit me :)
The minimal graphics and mechanics quickly build into frantic “where the fuck am I?!?!” moments when your screen is full of bullets pouring out of several different enemies.
You learn to boost or shield at the specific moments when the game demands it, and in turn you learn the motions and movements of the enemies, learning to counter move against their patterns, developing individual strategies for each.(the rush I felt the first time I beat the Thailand level… ll see why this game is regarded so highly once you can finish with the reflector.
