Today I initially played the game for 50 minutes! It was simple, but fun. After using the restroom, I played for an additional 35 minutes.

Today I revisited the game for a quick refresher (before putting together a blog post).

Setup: Loading the game up in my desktop today, I noticed my previous game save (from my laptop) didn't sync (I also couldn't take any screenshots with the Steam hotkey, F12). Thankfully it was an easy fix. I opened the game on my laptop, closed it, and then ran it from my desktop (I coincidentally also recovered the ability to take screenshots). Having previously played the game offline, I'm guessing the game only uploads its save file to the Steam Cloud after opening the game while Steam is online.

Setup: Played in windowed mode and keyboard.

Steam Game Time: 60 minutes

Thoughts:
Pros:
+ Simple, yet fun
+ Game elements are introduced at a steady pace.

Neutral:
~ Short levels
~ Retro graphics

Minor Con:
- Apparently this version of the game lacks some of the features added to the DX (PS4/PSV) /UDX (XB1) versions.

Summary:
I didn't think about it while playing the game, but Aqua Kitty - Milk Mine Defender does a great job at being a retro game: simple controls, simple graphics, and simple goal. If you enjoy casual shooters and/or retro shooters, then I would recommend Aqua Kitty - Milk Mine Defender.
