Super Shooter Demo

I decided to give this demo by 'Dzialo' a go. Unfortunately it takes a bit to impress me, and on the whole Super Shooter didn't really take my fancy.
While I mostly enjoyed the level layouts, ammo and health placement seemed a little over the top, which would be to cater the over the top ammunition and health limited of 999 and 300 respectively. I gathered that these unusual limits were to cater for the large clusters of enemies that filled sections of the levels. However I found that such ammo levels were unnecessary; Dzialo's enemies had little health and took only a few shots each to kill. Even the bosses (which I assume were mini bosses) were fairly easy to kill.
I found the classic disappearing door-sides problem came up a few times, and some of what I assume to be the jail cells had inconsistent back walls (grey stone everywhere but the backwalls of a fair few cells were a neat blue bricked panel) which wrecked the atmosphere of the areas.

I found it unusual that of all things, BJ would end up fighting himself countless times, and with a lack of readme, ReadThis!, or manual, there is no explanation offered apart from all the polish, which I am unable to read and as such have no idea what it is all about.
Personally I found the recycled graphics seeming lack of plot and randomless unfulfilling, but I guess that's what you would expect with such a short game. I can only hope that if and when the full game is released such things are improved.


Hi me!


Hi me...again. You seem to have gained a little weight.
