TinyShot

so far so good, i played around 2.5 hours while writing this, i like the art and how its inspired by Edmund work, the game feels somooth and i like how it starts easy and slow but rapidly get harder, i like me a challange. i hated the bombs at first they seemed useless but they become really helpful in the later areas,

This game is sort of a mashup of Risk of Rain and Binding of Isaac. It plays pretty well but the grappling hook / iFrame mechanics could use some tightening up so that the player can better react to bosses and such. I highly recommend doing the tutorial to better understand the current mechanics since they will save your life many times over.

Actually, he is very happy with his own company. Unfortunately for him he has always been bullied. Bullying is something that we see at every level of life these days, perhaps for your different views or because you don’t follow the masses. So, you’ll be labelled, bullied and attacked regularly. Some, like Tiny, will even go so far as to make a deal with the devil in return for love and acceptance! Let’s find out which deal he struck with the Devil in TinyShot! Tinyshot is a fast-paced side-scroller action shooter game developed by Allaith Hammed "ZAX" and published by Headup games on the 20th of February 2021 on Steam. In this game, you can play in Run or in the Survival mode. There is a short and very good tutorial which I strongly suggest going through before you play either of the modes. I had a good go on both of the modes and I must say, I enjoyed my time playing TinyShot. In the Survival mode, you’ll be able to play in three different platformer-type layouts. Your goal is to survive as long as you can and if you manage to reach the magic number of 200 points, you’ll unlock the next level. The Runs work a little bit differently. When you start your first run, you’ll have to beat the first of five stages; the other four are locked. If you do win, you’ll unblock the next level, but you’ll have to start a new run. That run will have two levels (1 & 2 that were just unlocked) and so on and so forth until you unlock all five levels. Each time you beat a level, you’ll also receive a new tiny skin. There are five skins to unlock in total, plus the original one. All skins have three different skills - Speed, Dash and Jump - and the optimal number is 5 for each of these three skills. Essentially, each stage will have three waves of enemy to clear. Tiny will start his run with a knife, a gun (15 bullets), five bombs, a grapple gun and his skills. The grapple gun will help Tiny to reach new highs within the levels as he’ll need more ammunition, which is usually located somewhere upwards in the levels. Every kill will be rewarded with a soul which you can use at the end of each level to purchase new guns at the store or buy perks at a special statue while you are playing each stage (three levels). Bear in mind, you’ll need a minimum of 25 souls to purchase your first perk, then the next one will be 50 then 75 souls. All perks purchased at the statue are beneficial for Tiny. But not all perks out of the 47 available in the game will help your tiny friend; those found elsewhere can have detrimental affects. When you complete a wave, 2 boxes will drop and each of them will have a random perk, but you won’t know which perk they hold until you open them. So, you might receive the green envelope at the statue which will add double the value on everything you currently have (life, bullets and bombs) but one of the boxes at the end of the level might have a perk that takes all your existing lives except one, which means that you are now worse off. Luckily, you can keep adding perks during your gameplay through the statues and by opening the boxes at the end of the level. The negative perks can ruin your runs very quickly. The positive perks make things too easy, even on the hard mode of difficulty, to complete each of the stages. To give you an example, on my last run, I had 20+ lives with 150 bullets and 30 odd bombs. I passed through that gameplay very easily and had plenty of lives to spare in the boss’s fight. I was lucky on that specific run because the perks were more beneficial than penalising. As Tiny unlocks new stages, new weapons will be available to purchase at the store at the end of each completed level. I really enjoy games that give you great replay-ability, which Tinyshot does very well. However, if you have a run like the one I had, it is far too easy and therefore decreases that replay-ability dramatically, which is a shame. It needs balancing in that regards. I like the artwork and the different weird enemies that you encounter; some will need more bullets to kill than others. What I find strange is that Tiny seems to inflict the most damage on nearly all of his enemies using any of his blades, with the exception of the enemies who themselves are armed with a sword; you get too close to them and Tiny will die in a flash. The other issue I encountered while playing the Survival mode is that Tiny can get stuck between platforms, which is really frustrating. In terms of the controls, I preferred to play TinyShot with the mouse and keyboard as I felt uneasy while playing with the gamepad. It comes down to a personal preference but in this game, for me, the mouse and keyboard offered a better experience. Positives: ~~~~~~~ + Great Artwork + Good tutorial + Three levels of difficulty + Run (campaign) and Survival modes + 47 perks, 6 skins and 22 different weapons + Good replay-ability + Full control support + Achievements Negatives: ~~~~~~~~ - No trading cards - Need balancing when acquiring perks, as it can become too easy The devil has lost a horn while fighting a demon! If Tiny can recover it, love and fame will come his way! 6/10 Key provided by the developer/publisher for review purposes. Any opinions expressed are entirely my own!

Gave it a few goes, here's my take on it. It's a pretty hard game, on part with things like Ninja Gaiden from the original NES. The power-ups aren't all good, which gives you a choice. It is definitely a controller game though, so you should grab one. The movement and attacks are all fluid. Overall it is a pretty cool game. Art style is nice to look at. Definitely has a fast pace to it. $9.99 on Steam, I feel like it is an appropriate price for what you're going to get. Recommended, especially if you like an acrobating shooting platformer. The VOD of my first crack at it is up on Youtube. Go check it out and decide for yourself! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25M9Jr9vaO0

It's interesting, but i think the game it's a bit difficult for a normal mode. I recommend play in easy mode first and get those skins (because the skins have better stats than the original skin)

[h1]以撒風的橫版射擊遊戲[/h1] 首先要說的是，引導少了點，大家需要耐心地玩一段時間來摸索，例如要知道金色圓盤是能補充彈藥的。經過一段時間的摸索遊玩後，實際的遊戲體驗相當友好，相當於橫版平臺跳躍射擊的以撒。事實上，這個遊戲濃濃的以撒風，無論是遊戲的整體畫風，還是那熟悉的旁白，人物立繪，道具，無不致敬以撒。喜歡玩以撒的玩家不妨也來試試這款遊戲吧。 [h1]這是射擊遊戲，不要玩成了近戰[/h1] 首先遠程武器的彈藥較少，如果你不知道金色圓盤能夠補充彈藥，那你便只能近戰了。近戰在遊戲裏真不友好，近戰的設定的作用也只是沒彈藥的時候臨時使用應急的，遊戲本質還是射擊遊戲。 遊戲前期道具較少，重復性較高，但是每過一個boss會解鎖新角色和遊戲內容。所以當你通關一次遊戲後，才能體驗到遊戲全部內容。 除了普通怪物接觸緩慢扣血，其他怪物的近戰，遠程和boss都是即死攻擊。但攻擊前搖明顯，攻擊緩慢，容易躲避 [h1]後續更新的建議[/h1] 雖然遊戲挺不錯的，但是遊戲內依舊有些問題存在，期待後續的更新。 首先，開局的地圖金色圓盤全在樹上，初始人物在沒有特殊道具的幫助下很難上去獲得補充彈藥的機會。而且缺乏引導，導致前面被迫一直在拿近戰打，費時費力，極易勸退人。 然後，希望前期能多增加一些道具和武器，遊戲進去的第一張地圖要是能隨機，這樣遊戲隨機性就更多了，能大大增加遊戲樂趣。 之後，要是能關註中國市場，增加中文就好了，相信大家都會喜歡這款遊戲的。 [h1]總結[/h1] 當你把遊戲的基本內容摸索透了以後，遊玩體驗直線上升。遊戲整體難度較低，怪物的攻擊套路較為單一，以至於很容易躲避。即使是休閑玩家也可以來嘗試，挺有意思的。休閑時玩一玩還挺不錯的。 [quote]點擊加入[url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/itgameap]趣遊鑒賞組[/url]，一同探索遊戲的樂趣~歡迎關註[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/34803254/]趣遊鑒賞家[/url]，查看更多趣味性評測。讓我們用愛點亮遊戲之光，加入我們，共同感受更多趣味的遊戲吧！[/quote]

A simple rogue like shooter with some amazing boss fights. :) would recommend to try it out.

I might suck at it and these kinda games, but I certainly can feel and know a game that oozes quality and creativity from the heart. This is an indie gem made by a 19 year old kid from crisis stricken Syria. I only wish more developers poured this kind of heart, soul, and creativity into their games here on Steam! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-SXquWH_OU This is a real indie diamond people! If you love "The Binding of Isaac" or "Super Meat Boy", then this game is simply a MUST BUY for you! I want to thank the publisher for offering me the free evaluation key to make my video and this review possible. I want to thank "ZAX" the developer teenage kid who developed this game solo even more for making such a gem of a game here on Steam! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! (Or a Must Buy if you like these sorta of games) - My Score: A Perfect 10 out of 10!

This game has taken clear inspiration from Binding of Isaac (one of my favorite game of all time). That being said, I feel like this is a hidden gem. Unfortunately I haven't been able to play much because I'm fighting a bout of tendonitis and action games don't go well with inflamed tendons. However, I played enough to know I like it. The main reason is the game feel. Hits feel crunchy and the action is solid. A great game to pick up and play a few rounds. That being said, I do have some suggestions: -The game recommended a controller to me. I tried but could barely kill one enemy as aiming with analog sticks felt slow and trying to grapple effectively was difficult. When I switched to mouse and keyboard it solved all those problems. So maybe remove that screen so people don't just rage-quit if they fail with controller. -The jump felt a bit floaty. Maybe make the downfall a bit faster, or incorporate some kind of downwards smash to give players more control over their movement. Looking forward to really getting into it after my tendons heal up.

2/10 felt like i was getting crushed with no chance even on easy and always out of ammo - janky combat - using a controller and its really hard to aim strait on the ground with guns and thats going to be a large % of your enemies - none of the achievements work - bombs are almost worthless, they wont even kill a basic enemy - you only get 2 weapons, this includes your melee that you NEED. should be at least 2 weapons that use two different types of ammo and a melee attack
