Akka Arrh
A cascade of words, colors, shapes, and sounds flows around your turret as you desperately fight off swarms of incoming attackers. If enemies penetrate your perimeter, you must approach the combat at close range and defeat them, adjusting to a completely different perspective in the blink of an eye. Welcome to Akka Arrh by Jeff Minter. This modern take from the excellent developers at Llamasoft combines the intrigue of an incredibly rare Atari arcade prototype with a unique creative vision that delivers incredibly addictive shooter gameplay. Akka Arrh is dripping with Minter's sense of humor, love of psychedelic color, and the ability to create games that are a joy to play.

Review coverage
Critic signal strength
Numeric critic scoring uses full scored reviews once available. Review-in-progress scores act as temporary early signal only until full review scores exist. Unscored reviews still count as coverage, but they are not included in the critic average.
