  Thruster 3000
Thruster 3000 is a fairly unique game that can probably be best compared to the Palm Pilot classic: SF Cave (It may have been around before Palm but that's where I know of it from). The game takes place with you in a sphere shaped spaceship with four little sunction-cup shaped things on the top, bottom, and sides. The object of the game is to maneuver your spaceship between rocks and past projectiles in order to pick up the coin-like objects, which are spread through-out each level, and then make your way to the exit. Sounds simple, doesn't it? But it's not simple at all because unlike some games where you can just maneuver yourself thoughtlessly, here you have gravity and momentum pulling you every which way. If you move to the left to much without slowing down and then try to go right, chances are you wil crash before your left-ward momentum ceases enough for you to move right. You are also constantly falling due to gravity's pull, so you must try to keep youself level, not to close to the ground but not too much upwards momentum also. Very challenging, but never "cheap". The level design means alot to a game like this and this one nails it, but is also insanely challenging in doing so. Even the easy levels seem impossible at first. Slowly, however, you will begin to grasp the game and the levels won't seem insane, merely semi-insane. Do not play this game if you have a short fuse on your patience. Thruster 3000 has excellent sound and even a fair amount of speech. The music is great, as well. Graphically, Thruster 3000 shines. The levels all have a nice look to them and are very colorful. All 2D goodness. Bottom Line: If you're the kind of person who loves challenging games and won't back down after the 50th+ try, then this game is for you. If you get frustrated easily and often find yourself yelling at your screen and throwing your controller: Stay away. Assuming that you are person type #1, there is nothing bad about this game and you should DEFINITELY give it a shot. Swollen, bleeding, bone-exposed thumbs WAY UP!
