Shooter Review

A Brad Kramer production
Ages 10+ (and not electric signal induced seizures)

Brad's splash screen has a good warning about his game maybe inducing seizures. Certainly, it does its job of confusing and distracting players. You are a red triangle in space, fighting off blue alien probes and a boss. You don't know why you're fighting them, only that they're shooting at you. Oh yeah, the probes use bright green lasers for sight, and shoot at you. A lot.

Once you get past the horde of probes, you must navigate through a tunnel. And you're ship doesn't have enough full integrity to survive more than one impact.

This is a difficult, yet addicting game, and even the creator has only beaten it twice. I'm excited to see his take on other styles of games!

Soundtrack and sounds is just the usual, probably he should make new ones for the end of the year game?



4.5/5
