Inside Mac Games has posted a review of the space-based top-down shooter Star Defender 4 from Awem Studio. Defend the universe from swarms of deadly aliens with a wide array of power-ups and weapons at your disposal. Here's an excerpt from the review:

Capturing power-ups is a critical aspect of this game. Doing so improves your weapons, making it easier to survive. You star fighter has two attacks. The standard, essentially unlimited one is always available. It improves as you gain power (by collecting energy power-ups), starting with simple energy shots, and moving up to energy shots that spray all over, higher powered energy shots, seriously damaging rays, combination shots, and more. One particular power up turns the star fighter into a multi-weaponed destroying machine for a short period. Pull the trigger and all types of particle, energy, and other attacks spew from your little star fighter, often clearing a busy screen full of aliens in seconds.
