Shotgun FunFun HD 12+

Would give it 5 stars if it explained how to switch ammo. :)

So there I was, murdering demons and I found a good place to stay. Then text appears on the screen “Stop Camping” Soon after, it kills me for staying in one spot. This implies two things.

1. That the freedom to play the game as the player sees fit is completely disregarded.
2. That the developer is too lazy to improve the AI to combat camping so he decides to punish the player in the LAZIEST way possible. Just by kiling the player for choosing a specific play style.

To expand on these topics, the choice of a player is important in a game. The game shouldn’t be so pushy as to kill you outright if you don’t obey the purpose. Instead, it should persuade you. If camping is not a desired play style, then the demons should be able to punish the player for doing so. Improve the AI, don’t outright punish the player for finding a way to rack up points. This is infuriating how such BS could be thrown at us.

This game shows integrity, and never at any point pretends to be something it is not. It is an indie game and one I enjoy.

Graphics
————
Not very good, but good enough. What I really wish is that the graphics had a setting that would allow me to alternate between “Shotgun FunFun Legacy” and the current graphics setup now. The graphics from “Shotgun FunFun Legacy” can even be improved upon, so long as the shapes of the main character and demons don’t change. This could be a nice touch, having “original graphics” installed.

Side note: I appreciate the anti-gore setting, because I do know some people who dislike gore, and this allows me to share the game with them. I do wish that there was a replacement of some sort, as the blood marks across the wall are a confirmation that I have hit my target. If there was a non-gory way to portray this, I could disable gore without losing any functionality within the gameplay.

Sound
———
Terrible really, but the game is still under development. For that reason, I’m not overly critical on the sound.

Gameplay
—————
Amazing! The gameplay here is addictive and pulls me in as a player, but there are a few things that do take away from the gameplay. The anti-camping feature that kills you if you’re camping is a temporary solution I’m sure, but one that does take away from the gameplay.

Story
———
Quite hilarious, this is one of the many reasons I enjoy the game. It could be expanded on I’m sure. I also think there should be a way to reopen the story in the pause menu.

User Interface
———————
Not terrible, but I feel like something was really left out here. During gameplay, the only user interface I have is in a very small left-hand corner. If I run low on health, it is difficult to read. Furthermore, the menu doesn’t allow you to reopen the story, and seems again, like something is missing.

Community
—————
This game should be a community game, it is developed by an indie team and I think a community wiki could be applicable. I also think High Scores should include local and online high scores. I want to see how my gameplay stacks up against others.

In conclusion, this game is missing a lot - but is a free indie game with great gameplay. I would love to support the development of this game anyway I can.
