A western platform shooter with beautiful monochrome aesthetics - Each monster blends in perfectly with the tricolored environment which results in tense gameplay where you never know what to expect! https://youtu.be/b6fKeozPHyw
I had the pleasure of meeting the lead dev of this game, really cool guy, and passionate about his work. This game is awesome. Dead simple mechanics, but nefariously hard. Its an action/puzzle game with a lot of interesting ideas, and good level variety. The atmosphere is just the right amount of spooky, thanks in part to the music, which is great. You will die a lot, so you need to have some patience and figure out how to beat each level. I'm excited to play more. Unfortunately, I did encounter a bug where my character would automatically reload every time I took out my gun, which was super annoying when I just need to quick draw and shoot. It persisted until I restarted the game. Please fix, dev! Definitely a good dame overall, worth a grab if you're up for a challenge.

very worth getting
Pretty game :)
Such an underrated game. The levels are fresh, the music is a bop, the story isn't overwhelming but its still interesting, and it looks fantastic for three colors. The dev(s) put so much love into this
This game is both really fun, and also challenging enough to make you feel like you accomplished something by the end of the last level. The enemy mechanics are really fun to work around and the platforming sections do reach a level of complexity that you wouldn't really expect from a hidden game like this (seriously, why aren't more people talking about this). It really makes me wish that this game had twice the amount of levels it did; but for now I'll be content with grabbing all the achievements. If you want a short but intriguing platformer, with well thought out enemies and level design, then you got one right here! Edit: If you're going for the YOLO achievement, I recommend practicing the level after "Red Eye Rush", "Fury and Shadow", and "All Lined Up". For some reason these levels can randomly have the monsters stop bouncing between walls, so you should probably make a strategy with that in mind.
[b]What's familiar:[/b] * Precision platforming * Tough as nails game play [i](I'm talking SNES-level hard)[/i] [b]What's novel:[/b] * 3-color pallet that looks amazing and somehow has incredible depth * A mouse-based shooting mechanic that's unlike any other Shot in the Dark is a difficult yet thoroughly enjoyable indie. It took me about 3 hours to beat once, but many challenges went unmet. The soundtrack is fully amazing and mostly chip tune. Nearly every level offers a new mechanic or enemy that will change the way you see the game. The visuals are stunning and manage to do more with 3 colors than most games do with 3 dimensions. There were a couple bugs along the way, but nothing that got in the way of the fun. Definitely recommend this game, especially if you're looking for a challenge that isn't the 5000th souls-like.
SHot in the Dark is a fine game with a cool art style that really shines through the longer you go through the game. And its really for for awhile, but I think the main issue of this game is that it kinda feels like out of nowhere, it changes into a plaltformer out of nowhere, now not to say there wasn't some in the start of the game. But it kinda felt like alll of suddnely it went super hard and honstly, it just kinda ruins thing imo. But some people are going to love that of course so take this review with a grain of salt. But I am stilll having fun with it
Velice dobrá hardcore skákačka/střílečka s pixelovou grafikou. Moc doporučuji pro sehrané hráče zkusit bez zahrání demoverze a pro nováčky zahrát demo Super hra :D
A unique game with a cool art style and innovative gameplay. This game is very fun and several levels are very challenging.
