Huh. I'd better press X.		It looks better in motion, but you can see that it's got some pleasant space visuals.
	Of of the random boss encounters.
It keeps track of your stats and lets you know how you did relative to your previous attempts. This was the first time I had a pretty good run.
		The previous screenshots were mostly showing off the backgrounds, but this is more of what the game normally looks like, with enemies and bullets to dodge.

There are random powerups throughout the level. This one is increasing my score multiplier, which, according to the top-left of the screen, is at 25.	The game menus have descriptions for all of the enemies, which I thought were often creative and funny.



	6th place in the world in one game mode. Sadly, this mode is basically one of attrition and basically says nothing about my gaming skills, or lack thereof.	Another one of several randomly encountered bosses.
		Pacifism is a mode where you can't shoot - you just have to dodge. My score (as it shows on my Vita) is the best in the world by quite some margin, but for some reason my score doesn't show up online.
	You occasionally find worm holes where the perspective changes and you try to survive a rapidly turning tunnel. It's hard to survive for long, but you get some score multiplier out of it.



		As you can see, my average score improved over time.
This must have been high scores for that day or something, because I definitely didn't have the best score in the world in classic mode.

Big Sky Infinity is a side scrolling shooter, but it's completely randomized each time you play. There are a few different modes to play, but most notable is the campaign in which you can earn upgrades to your ship. Each mode also has leaderboards for high scores, so you can keep trying to improve your score to beat your friends. The game is well made but perhaps a little on the simple side. It's nothing life changing, but pretty fun!
