Shooting Saucer

Easy recommendation for this one. A fun and challenging little arcade-like game full of clever ideas. Give it a try!

I originally heard about the game through the itemlabel promotion, but I'm broke af and couldn't buy the shirt. Did a bet for a friend so he'd give me the game: it would've totally been worth it to buy it myself though. The game is very cute and goofy: the starting cutscene sets this precedence. There's a good variety of enemies, some of which are versions of earlier enemies with additional abilities. The graphics are pleasing to look at (which is how the game caught my eye initially). The soundtrack always makes sense for what level you're on, and it's not too shabby. There are mini cutscenes and transitions as you play the game and move from level to level, world to world, which 100% make the game silly, but in a good way. The ending is [spoiler] a bit anti-climactic [/spoiler] but honestly it totally checked out. Gameplay itself is relatively difficult, but you kind of get the hang of things as you die and re-play levels. I curse a strange amount playing this game lol. It might seem like there's permadeath, but all that happens if you run out of lives is that you start at the beginning of the current world. I haven't played them all yet, but if it took me 3 hours to beat the game with one character, then the multiple extra characters (wiht unique mechanics) reassures me that I'll easily spend much more time with this little bundle of joy. Overall the game is like a combination of games which have come before it. It's metroid-like in its run-and-gunning, sort of mario-like in how you evolve into new forms after collecting enough orbs, and the variety of unique enemies reminds me of kirby. People have compared this game to Kero Blaster and I definitely see the resemblance. All in all I certainly recommend the game if you like platformers: this game deserves more attention! SinksAdventure's previous game also looks pretty solid, Crowtel Renovations. Good game, I will now go throw my sucklet into a river.
