Learning the muscle memory of reloading each gun is super satisfying. Some of the randomization can be frustrating, but when I realized that I could reset by just holding "L" I had a much easier time learning what changed between runs and what stayed the same. The suspense and attention to detail in this game make it worth giving a shot, even if you just boot it up to go to the firing range and mess around with the pistols.

Nothing more than a concept demo to show off and test guns handling and animations. Although there is somewhat of a skill curve in figuring out how to handle the guns and the two enemy types. On sale it is fun for an evening.

The only reason why I give it a positive review is that I got this game for free when buying Receiver 2. Otherwise it would've been a negative one. This game is essentially a demoscene with cool weapon handling. The rest is decidedly meh. The problem is that there are only three weapons, and you are a oneshot. The weapon handling is not good enough to overcome the frustration of getting killed by a flying bot for the umpteenth time.
