Fine platformer shooter game. Only 25 levels, it took me about 20 minutes to complete them all. The gameplay, the controls and the level design are good enough that these 20 minutes were enjoyable, so do not hesitate to give it a try !

Nice game, easy to learn, difficult to master.

Though pixel games tend be controller supported, this game seems to be keyboard and mouse only. You will need a left and right mouse button and a spacebar, if you got this then you are good to go.

Obviously you have to shoot zombies and not feed them. There are four color zombies indicating the amount of bullets they require for them to die, you will have to empty your gun before reloading, you will have to think about how to spend your bullets and when to reload, the only problem is you won’t have time to think…

It’s 1 buck, maybe for a small dev which wants to make some extra money.

Gameplay is no more than half an hour, but if you just wanna go in full rampage killing KKK and Nazis just for the fun of it in 2D pixel style, it’s worth getting just for fun.

Honestly, I wouldn’t bother with it, I mean just go to Kongregate and search for shooters and you will find stuff way more worth it than this.

Darkness Shooter is another GameMaker Studio asset flip from serial copy+paste infringers, VeryHardMemeStudio. All these guys do is rip off game templates and projects from the Yoyogames/GameMaker Studio store and try to scam people into paying for someone else’s work on Steam. They have run asset flip scams dozens of times, and this is no exception. It’s nothing but a cash grab.

This time they’ve ripped off a basic template for a 2D retro pixel screen clicker ripoff of the NES game, Duck Hunt, only worse quality. Asset flips and other “Fake games” (as Valve calls them) are harmful to the industry, because they pollute the marketplace and reduce the visibility and exposure needed by genuine indie developers.

A top down shooter that reminds me of Sunset Riders from consoles long ago. Take a look at my video posted above to get a sense of gameplay. Be mindful to take note of the control scheme listed on the store page as there are no in game reminders. I found myself jabbing at the keyboard trying to find out but not before being murdered by the first enemy over and over again. I will say that the pace of the game is a bit slow and because of that level progression is very slow. I spent 20 minutes on mission 2 and never completed it.

Escape from Terror City

Escape from Terror City

Review after completing hard mode.

I’m a renegade sector shill and usually like everything they put out, but I have a hard time recommending them to people. They tend to be interesting and fun design wise but lack the content and polish to justify their usually high prices. This is the first game from the dev that I think is worth the price asked even if you aren’t already a fan of the dev.

Very interesting take on cabal style shooters. Definitely leans more into the bullet hell aspect of games like Thunder Kid which is good IMO since the bosses of those games far outshined the platforming. For Escape from Terror City, the stage design is excellent in addition to the bosses due to the more focused bullet hell gameplay.

Hot Dam is this game fun!

It reminds me of contra or metal slug, but in a 3d world environment. Sure it may not have as much polish as a shoe from the 18th century, but there wasnt any glaring flaws. I had the camera clip in to a wall while playing when i got to close the the back wall of a certian part of a map, only ran in to it once, and when i did, i just moved fowards a little bit and i was back to seeing the whole game.

The level design is amazing, and what i mean by this is, every level has a choice for its path, theres a fork where you can choose where to go, you will get some unique mini boss’s then it will branch back with the other path before the final boss of the level.
