I love hidden object games and this one brings something new to the table. Sniping! Nothing better than searching through a land full of stick figure round heads and bag heads to find your mark. Runs great on steam deck.

its alright. Find Mode missions are very frustrating with the sniper sway and the required pixel perfect precision

Geometric Sniper, developed and published by YAW Studios, is a quietly distinctive title that takes a deceptively simple concept and builds an experience around focus, patience, and careful observation rather than reflex-heavy action. At a glance, its stark geometric visuals might suggest a casual or even abstract puzzle game, but once it begins, it quickly reveals itself as something far more deliberate. It blends the methodical nature of hidden-object gameplay with the tension of a sniper scenario, creating a gameplay loop that feels both calm and unexpectedly intense. The core idea revolves around identifying specific targets hidden within crowded, stylized environments. Each mission provides clues about who to eliminate—sometimes through visual traits, sometimes through contextual hints—and it’s up to the player to scan the scene through a sniper scope and locate the correct individual. This process demands attention to detail, as characters often share similar shapes and movements, making the target difficult to distinguish at first glance. The challenge comes not from fast reactions but from perception and deduction, rewarding players who take the time to carefully study the…

Definitely no. I'm a fan of point and click games and also of hidden-object games. This is kind of both and at the same time neither! The controls are awful; you constantly look through (only) the sniper lens, which prevents you from having a full view of anything to be able to search more efficiently, at least the frames are small, but that also doesn't make much fun. You are pressed for time to do the shoots, and it also has the exact time that the target passes around, so you mostly need to do what? Keep waiting in all frames until you find it? If you take too long, the target runs away. If you find the target in one place and lose him, guess what, you will restart the whole level, and he has other possible places to be. Moreover, if you miss it or even shoot a building, you restart the whole level and lose points because you have limited ammunition. Really? Even the main title is terrible; there are no instructions, and you don’t get a clue about what to do besides keep clicking. It seems raw. That's the whole game; scenes of around 3 minutes that you either wait for or keep looking at, merely 12 levels plus achievements that unlock when you solve the cases differently. I tr…

Simple game, not too hard, find hidden objects and targets and shoot them. Scope is a little jittery before you get used to it.
