Shoot Trip Die

I want to like this game, but I really can't. Many others have said it but this isn't a game that should be able to be bought with money, this is a simple newgrounds game that can be praised for being at least playable at best. First two areas are piss easy, then the last two are nothing but titty twisters. Some items are okay and others are actually just straight up nothing. Some unique items that can enhance a run instead become a hindrance later on, like how certain rooms are straight up impossible with something like kerosene or the scythe. Not only that but if you even dare pick too many items that help you in getting through the game alive, you just will not have anything to defend yourself in the later portions of the game. The game has secret rooms that have a chance of showing up after special rooms like the casino or the boss room. Despite the secret rooms being a chance based occurrence that only can appear after certain rooms, indicating that they are a reward for the player, they can still ♥♥♥♥ you over with stat downs, traps, and a special slot machine that can just straight up kill you. The final boss has some of the most ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ attacks ever that come out so fast the only way to avoid them is to hope he just doesn't teleport near you, which is again, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and not fun to deal with. Ironically despite the gamefaqs page stating that the game is "like isaac, but not entirely" it still has the same ♥♥♥♥♥♥ gameplay mechanic of just getting lucky with your items. You can only get 7 items per run every single time so you have no choice BUT to get lucky. The soundtrack is okay. Playable yeah, but enjoyable no.

i shoot, i trip, i die. 10/10

This game is super unfriendly to the player. Not capricious like Noita and such, not challenging like Enter the Gungeon, just unfair. It doesn't reward skill, just punishes you for having bad luck. The way a lot of rooms just spawn enemies on you, it's like you're expected to get ♥♥♥♥ on by RNG, and I got a run where I grabed the scythe which turns your shot into a boomerang, then had to reset because a room in the sweats had a big divide I couldn't shoot across. It feels like some dude whipped this out in two months for ♥♥♥♥♥ and giggles, playtested it for [i]maybe[/i] two hours, then said "♥♥♥♥ it." And normally, that'd be fine. Post it on NG, get some love for a faceted, functioning game. But where this feels really cheap is that despite the lack of effort or care, Levi wants you to pay $5 for the game. It's fun enough for a few runs, but it really isn't enough of a game design or content-wise to prompt anything more than a buck. Next time, please just put it on itch.io as a name-your-price.

Bought this game on launch when it was 20$cad and regretted it. probably a good buy to play for 30 minutes when its on sale for a dollar or 2, but the same could be said about the game's demo which i ended up playing more than the final game funny enough. Very unfriendly to the player to an extent that inst fun like some other games like Isaac gungeon etc. Could have used more time in the oven and play testing, but at least its not 20$ regularly anymore. 10/10 music, Retrojection is peak video games.

this game is BALLS HARD i LOVE IT

chester bodean is my best friend. such a cool guy. love running around with him and marbles the rat.

Fun and quirky roguelike that can best be described as a The Binding of Isaac-like: four levels with around ten floors and a boss each, a final boss on top of that, 20-something items with various effects on stats such as damage, speed, rate of fire and health... It's very short but plays well and has a fun if slightly creepy atmosphere. Definitely recommend giving it a try on sale!
