Shell Out Showdown

Gameplay: Love the new twist on platform arena shooter; all of your ammo must be embedded in your opponents and none of it wasted. If you miss, don't litter! The keep-away win-condition is a great addition which adds another fun, frenzied shift in gameplay. Plus an in-game economy for unlocking extra content Style: Stimulating, rich art-style, and the avatars feel like they were born in this thoughtful & detailed environment Verdict: It's the whole package for a unique and fun, strategic & fast-paced game

This is a really a thrilling game, it's like a fast-paced hot potato except *everyone* starts out with hot potatoes! Very responsive controls, bright, beautiful pixelart, smooth groovy soundtrack, and when someone has completely unloaded there's a scramble for them to get away from the rest who are trying to pass him one. I'm impressed. Very excellent.

Gameplay is similar to a platform "fighting" game with the rather unique spin that you and your competitors are a bunch of vending machines trying to get rid of all your concessions. It's not the sort of mechanic I ever expected to see in a game like this but the execution ends up being a hilariously hectic good time. The controls are tight and movement mechanics are familiar. I'm especially a fan of the dash. The pixel art is cute and fun, and the music is top-tier. And you can even customize your character with effects and paint colors and "buddies."
