Boomeraxe

UPDATE: I got my cigarettes and now it's 2:30 AM and all I'm trying to do is avoid getting hit by my own damn axe. :D I did manage to make it past the first boss and I saw a new enemy that literally blocks my axe and yeets it back at me. That's pretty cool. Needless to say, I really like this game. My play time is pretty short (0.1 hours at the time of this review), but I managed to die about 10 times. I need to run out and buy more cigarettes before I continue playing this game. The game itself? It's really cool, actually. You are a little Viking looking dude who punches an axe into enemies that are spraying bullets at you. The cool thing is, the axe is a boomerang, so it comes back after hitting the enemy. If you don't punch it, it hits you. You start with three hearts and I have yet to find a heart pickup, but that's probably due to my short playtime. I made it to the first boss once but did not manage to kill it. Power ups are unlockable via meta progression that does not seem grindy at all. There are power ups that you find randomly even before that, though. For $2 bucks? Hell yeah.

30 minutes in: Kind of fun 60 minutes in: Dying over & over to the first boss, not so fun.

Fun game! Pros: Easy to get started, fun gameplay, good music and art. Cons: I keep dying.

I like twin stick shooters, I like this game. I'm not very good at it. You get to practice your timing and positional awareness very nicely with this.

¡Juego divertido! Pros: Fácil de empezar, jugabilidad divertida, buena música y arte. Contras: Sigo muriendo.

it's like tennis but with consequences. The big bird boss seems tricky but honestly they're pretty manageable, the real problem is those little lizard guys like the one that spits on the guy in jurassic park. Absolute menace, and possibly illegal.

20 min in and have died at least 15 times. Hard, but serotonin levels SHOOT up when you clear a crazy room without axe'ing yourself by accident. Love it, will continue for plenty twenties of minutes more! Edit after 3 hours: I have achieved my apotheosis and defeated the cassowary boss of the first floor... after 3 hours. Very fun.
