Super Mega Bob

Its cute and cheap, but awkward and I'm not sure how enjoyable it really is... Interactions are awkward: 1.) Having a mouse cursor which is moved by arrows really takes you out of the platforming experience and slows everything down! 2.) It would have been better with diagonal firing, since the enemies can! It has the feel of a dated platformer, NOT in a good way. 3.) There are things that are are counter intuitive, such as the fractions of resources are inversed! Basic math here, which makes the game not only look bad, but the player has to think backwards. It is actually a bit tedious and boring with little challenge. I find myself getting hit only out of laziness, since you can sit back at range most of the time. I am just not compelled to complete the game (160 levels), with so many other more enjoyable titles in my library and on Steam. DISCLAIMER: These are my opinions about the experience I had playing this game. I share them in hopes that people who are like minded will either enjoy a suggested game, or avoid frustration wasting time and money on something I felt was a personal waste. Please feel free to comment positively, but know that anything that troll…

Bob is a force to reckon with but man does he have a hard road in front of him. Super Mega Bob may look generic on the cover but inside is a very challenging twin stick shooter. The game is played out through 32 stages on 5 different biomes. You pick a stage and it has certain goals you need to meet to complete it like: collect 12 coins or kill 6 enemies. Enemies drop scrap for upgrades and you may also get bonuses for completing a stage. This scrap and coins you collect are used to purchase upgrades that increase shot and movement speed, attack power, etc. There are also hats and uniforms you can buy that give you certain bonuses depending on which one you equip. This stuff is all needed as you progress through the game and the stages increase in difficulty. I made it to the fourth biome and have started to grow tired of the game and it's now a grindfest to earn enough scrap to unlock higher upgrade so I can complete the stages I'm on now. I'm not giving up yet as the game does give you a addiction to complete it. I recommend picking this up if you find it on sale, enjoy twin stick shooters, and like a good challenge. One issue I did experience and it is a pain is that the game …

Tags: Sidescroll Shooter Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: Homebrewed bulletsponges sidescroll shooter.Ressource management was tedious. Game feels padded. Pacing is slow. Audiovisuals are bottom tier. Xbox 360 pad was detected and working correctly. It has a day night/night cycle. Some surprising lighting effects on the 2D tiles.A few cutesy sprites for the protag/npcs. Your character flies around so no annoying platforming, you get a hub area to select your next mission from and shop with coins you collect. The shop items/character upgrades can be equipped and unequipped on the character menu RPG style and they affect combat behavior and help with game completion. There are 20 missions (or is that just world1), some with multiple rooms, and each room is usually between one and two screens large. You get specific room-related mini objectives before you can proceed. Not to mention that on the overall the sound managed not to be grating. Upon death you simply respawn at the hub with the ability to progress from your last completed mission. So.. why the disappointment? The animation work is mostly minimal and most enemies are very bland and forgett…

Interesting mixture of platforming and twin stick shooting.
