[PLAYED ON REGULAR DIFFICULTY] Just from the brief amount I've played, I'm kinda surprised that this game has been abandoned. So, for those who have stumbled upon this game by accident (maybe your friend had it in their library or you got a coupon for in from badges), here's a quick review for ya. A Nifty Game is a very simple 2D rougelite shooter, similar to "Enter The Gungeon" in overall gameplay. Where it deviates though is through it's simplicity and clunkiness. Encounters are very simple as they only involve dodging and shooting, and you eventually enter an overpowered state depending on how lucky you've gotten during a run. Still, I've found myself enjoying the little spirts of battle in the game, even when the clunkiness started showing up. I'm calling the clunkiness an intended feature of the game, given how it ended. I bring it up since there will be points where you escape from the map or where the visuals will look like they're broken. Still, I found these bits of clunkiness fine and in some aspects enjoyable. The only real problem I have with the game is the music, or lack thereof. The trailer might be chiptune, but all you'll really hear in the game is wind. Still, it's worth a look. Only 6 dollars depending on where you live, and it's the type of game that's small enough to keep installed and come back to every once in a while.
