BoxesWithGuns

Gameplay is very fun, you upgrade your "ship" with more cubes that are each a weapon of your choice. Adding more guns and making yourself bigger might make you stronger but also make it harder for you to dodge enemies or you could upgrade the few guns you have and remain smaller, making the choice is what's fun about it. I kinda like the soundtrack but as other reviews will state, this game visual aggression is real. I do enjoy the gameplay a lot and would recommend it on that front BUT if you are prone to seizures do NOT play this game.

(Got this for free somewhere....probably from a friend...? Well, thanks anyway.) [h1]This isn't the Solid Snake game I had in mind...[/h1] WARNING: This game may cause epilepsy. [i]BoxesWithGuns[/i] is a top-down arena game that includes flashing lights and music-guided level length. The idea is to build your "ship" (boxes) and to destroy other boxes to gain money to upgrade your boxes with various guns and abilities. Of course, there are a few problems with this concept that led to its downfall. The biggest concern of mine is the lack of a tutorial or anything that would be deemed as helpful in terms of an explanation in showing how things worked. By trial and error, I was able to figure out the menu controls to build, but it really needed some sort of help tab to explain what was needed. This lack of a tutorial would bleed over to the achievements, where you are not told how to get more money, how to buy, how to build, or anything of the sort. The levels seem basic, but when you blow up any box, they basically bleed lights all over the place....flashing lights. It easily gets to the point where you are too blinded to see anything on the screen and may end up losing. Robbing the player of sight with bright flashing lights is something that I cannot forgive in terms of bad game design. Of course, I have contacted the developer, but unfortunately, service for this game has concluded as the developer refuses to work on this project anymore. But at least the music can be decent....I guess....though it does lack variety. That said, do I recommend [i]BoxesWithGuns[/i]? Sadly, I do not. The lack of an explanation on anything combined with eyesore lights simply made this game too much for my eyes and patience to handle. Since the development has concluded, there will not be any patches to fix these issues...only buy if you want to torture yourself or if you believe these are issues that will not bother you in the slightest. Achievement hunters beware, achievements seem straight-forward, but the true execution could not be more cryptic or broken. 2/10 A decent idea, but with terrible execution. Did not consider the aesthetic towards its player base.
