Shot in the Dark

Shot in the Dark

TL; DR

Pros:

  • Great level design

  • Cool music

  • Nice Art Direction

Cons:

  • Very difficult, at times unfair

Wow!

This game is really cool. The mechanics of the visual design, hiding monsters in the limited colors and backgrounds, is really cool. And the combat being limited to a standstill and aim is a cool way to encourage caution from the player. This game has been on my wishlist since I played the demo at an expo and I hope more people check out this game for the sake of the developer.

Edit: After completing the game my recommendation is even stronger.

This form of artstyle and game design I’ll forever hold near and dear to my heart, but the feel in Shot in the Dark really captures and sells the genre; tight and responsive platforming, a curious shooting mechanic that is very smooth in action, a story that’s simple but not boring. It impresses me to see decades-old mechanics explored in newer and more creative ways, I wouldn’t know where to begin setting the “pace” for those last few levels.

I look forward to what your crew works on next!

Hi, my name is Tom, Tom Horn, they tried to hang a lot of dirty things on me, but you know what, buddy? I’m not like that. I know I know you’ve been told about me. They said that I killed the kid and a lot of other people for money, but it’s all nonsense. I was a deputy sheriff, I didn’t kill anyone for bucks and I never touched children. Sit back, I’ll tell you my story.

See if you can kill them all.
