ImpulsegamerFeb 20263.8/5Aerial_Knight's DropShot is a game I genuinely enjoyed. It feels like nothing else out there, is mechanically solid, and is refreshingly weird. There are moments where the pace slows near the end of a level as you drift toward the finish with little left to interact with, but those moments are brief compared to how consistently engaging the rest of the experience is. It carries the same kind of cool, experimental energy found in games like Neon White, while carving out its own lane through presentation and premise. With more variety and a slightly deeper progression system, a follow up could be something truly special. As it stands, DropShot is a stylish, easy to pick up, hard to ignore arcade shooter that embraces its strangeness and runs with it. If you enjoy fast paced action, strong aesthetics, and games that are not afraid to be a little unhinged, this is absolutely worth checking out.

GameSpewKim SnaithFeb 20267/10It's short, and rather basic in terms of features, but Aerial_Knight's DropShot gameplay loop of shooting enemies with a finger gun as you fall out of a plane is fun while it lasts.

TheSixthAxisAdrian BurrowsFeb 20266/10Just like with its bizarre setting and over-the-top visuals, the overall experience of Aerial Knight's Dropshot is uneven. There's complete brilliance in places, such as the thrilling races, but they come alongside some rather uninspired and borderline frustrating combat. If I could just have a game full of the rival chases, and get rid of the fighting, this would be terrific. As it is, it's alright.

Six One IndieFeb 20265/10Despite the shortcomings, the vibes of DropShot are immaculate and exactly what I want more games to have: a fun, original idea that reminds us why we love video games. The execution, however, caused the feeling of frustration instead of joy more often than not.
