My biggest issue with it is the gameplay, and the humor, and well everything. by Worm 07/15/2012, 8:48am PDT
You just kind of scramble around shooting every room you walk into. Most of the rooms are designed in a frustrating way, you'll have to either kite enemies around or quickly strafe around enemies that shoot at you. Boss fights become completely boring after you fight them a couple of times and you'll end up wasting bombs just to have them over with. All the rooms are premade, so you're more memorizing the real bullshit ones than you're dealing with anything dynamically.

The entire rogue-like aspect is bullshit, there's no choice making at all, you just pick up everything and use things randomly. Weapon power ups just sloppily pile on top of one another certain ones will easily ruin your tenuous combination of abilities. There's no real sense of balance as you becoming a more and more grotesque Garbage Pail Kid. You go into a room and you're either dealing with shit that can move over rocks or can't and can shoot or can't and just spam your attack.

I've been told the game gets better the more you play it, which is true of most rogue-likes, but my problem isn't the game having some random elements, it's everything else.

OH! Also the humor is terrible, when you see "In Association with Newgrounds.com"when you start the game it's just as much of a portent as you think it is and more.
