Free SHMUP for Windows being offered today (4/7/2012) only

Post by Mordecai Walfish »

Don't know if it's any good, as I havent played it yet. The developer usually charges $10 for it and is giving away free copies today:

LOL hopefully it doesnt suck *that* bad.

-Morde


EDIT -- Okay, it *does* suck pretty effing hard. Mouse control only and the ship makes this annoying "pew" "pew" "pew" sound when it's shooting. Uninspired drivel. You've been warned.

Only recommended if you want to see how badly anyone who has ever paid $$ for this game has been ripped off. hahahahahaha

Yikes. At least they had Jets 'n' Guns on Game Giveaway of the Day one time. They often have others of really low quality otherwise.
Of course, that's just an opinion.

I used my dexterity to dodge the spamware and special offers they tried to get me with. Haven't touched the game yet...

Nothing necessarily wrong with mouse control. It's valid - depends on implementation.

the implementation in this is 1:1 mouse control, no slowdown, lol. It feels quite cheap.

I think the game defaults to c:\games\


And yeah, it doesnt set up shortcuts when you install it, it's just a delivery service for their free "offers" asking you to use toolbars and shit (theres even a button to install a game finder program that is in the location of the "yes" button in the install dialog, lol) I guess thats the actual price for the "free game a day" site, but easy to dodge that crap, really.
