What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

Siberian Strike: Space Ops (Android)

April 30th, 2025

Last night was low key for gaming. I played through a Samsung Instant Play game, which is like a phone-browser game, called Siberian Strike: Space Ops. It was such an easy shmup I only came close to dying once in thirty stages, so I don't feel like this was a major accomplishment. After finishing the story mode, there's some medals I can go back and collect for finishing my plane upgrades, but I don't really want to. It had ads after every level, it locks different planes to sets of stages, and it's so boring that at the end of one level, it just had me glide around the background for thirty seconds or so. If I were a passenger on a long car ride, I can see getting 100% in this game. As it is, though, I'm satisfied with just having gotten through all the levels.

I tried Candivity, another ultra cheap Switch game, too. Much like Bomb Cat, I am assuming this is a Suika Game clone, but I like this one a little better. I'm setting unlocking all the cosmetics in the base game as my "game clear" goal here, which should be fun!
