A little something to fill that Arwing-shaped hole in our hearts.

Ooh, very interested!



Not bad.



Yeah I got it wishlisted on Steam! Love me a good on rails shooter



You called down the thunder, now reap the whirlwind

Downloading the Steam demo now!

So far I like it. The only flaw is that I'm not a fan of how limited your aim cursor is before the ship starts moving. Starfox 64 had a larger area where the cursor could be moved before the ship started moving. Starfox was something like 30% of your screen had to be covered before your ship moved. This game has it set to something like 10% or 15%. 

Otherwise I'm sold on the game and plan on playing it at launch!

Why doesn't it have voice acting?

Voice acting can be quite (even shockingly) expensive.  they wanted to save money?

Edit

Side note, N64Recomp...  can play Star Fox 64 with HD textures, 120 fps and with 2x resolution.  Just saying.

Probably a combination of being a low budget indie title, and as a throwback to the original Starfox which also used this approach of Banjo Kazooie-esque "gibberish" VA due to technical limitations of the time.
