Shutshimi

Shutshimi was a surprise for me. I didn't expect it too be so good and much fun. It is a shoot'em up where you play as a muscled fish and have to deffend your home by defeating the invaders. The major change it's that you play 10 second waves and between every wave you have a Shop Time, where you choose 1 of 3 items - some will help, some will handicap you and some will make you laugh hard!

I found the grapichs pretty. It's a well done pixel art, not out of this world, but it does the job. Your character and the bosses were the the stand out for me in terms of grapichs, and the items too (let's not exclude them).

There is pretty much no story here. I just told you all about it in 1 line in the first paragraph. But that's fine, this game isn't about story, it is about a fish shooting stuff and it does that part very well). What I found genious was the comedy. It was where you wouldn't expect it (item descriptions, items looks, player stats, description of the waves) . Hilarious stuff!

The soundtrack consists of 8-bit tracks (or 16/32-bit tracks, I don't know the difference very well). I enjoyed them, altough there isn't a huge variety of them, and they can get repetitive at times.

The most important part: the gameplay. Fluidness, responsive controls and the original fast rounds help this game. The main mode (ypu shoot enemies and defeat the bosses to get points until you die) has 3 difficulties: Guppy, Normal and Heartless; and has support for Co-Op to up to 4 people, which is always great. The game also has a Boss Rush mode (you fight all the bosses and see how fast you are). There are leaderboards, so you can compete with people all around the world.


Overall: I though this game was very cool and for the price, it delivers!! Fun little experience, took me 5 hours to complete 100%, but in theory the game is infinite. Reccomend!

great review only thing is that you forgot 1 and instead wrote just h in the html tag at the start so it didn't work.
