About Shudder

✦ AI summary

Shudder is a high-speed twin-stick shooter where you navigate without guns, instead charging up the SHUDDER Drive to obliterate waves of cosmic Para-Bugs in a frantic blend of Geometry Wars and Snake. Absorb cells, break vortex-cubes, and harvest resources to unlock upgraded ships and chase high scores in this intense battle to save the universe.

Shudder is a high speed, twin-stick shooter with one stick and no shooting, that sits somewhere in the middle of Geometry Wars, Pac-Man and Snake. Lost in an interdimensional wormhole, players must absorb the powerful cosmic cells in order to charge up the awesome power of the SHUDDER Drive 9000TM and release it against the unrelenting onslaught of interstellar Para-Bugs. Shatter Vortex-Cubes and decimate the bio-organic threat to rack up high scores and harvest rare resources to unlock more powerful ships and increase your chances of survival.
  • Rack up high scores.
  • Gather rare resources.
  • Convert resources into more powerful currency.
  • Purchase new and upgraded ships.

A very good top-down twin-stick shooter with a great idea and a steep learning curve. I really much enjoy the game, even if it is unforgiving difficult, and will come back more than once to challenge. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGHFFu4CNpc

I guess I'll be the first negative review. I spent most of my time trying to figure out why this game is supposed to be fun. It's not. And some bug prevents the Vortex Cube from shattering, so I cannot gather the game resource to unlock ships, etc. You pretty much just dodge snakes and collect the power-up meter items. When your power meter grows you "shudder" the enemies then collect their body parts for ship upgrades like speed, score multiplier, etc. I suppose for some this might be fun, but I find it very boring. And they sell it as a twin-stick shooter, but it is a single-stick dodging game with a single button to use the shudder mechanism. This game is extremely boring. I tried my hardest to get into it and find the reason to keep trying, but it simply doesn't hook me.

Shudder is a wonderful little game, from collecting orbs to killing space bugs, this game really nocks it out the ball park, very happy with my purchase

At 99 cents this game is a steal. Full controller support and fluid controls alone makes this game worth it's asking price. Retro gaming goodness, Recommended.

This is a surprisingly good retro vector style game, with a unique design. It would have been worth plunking a few quarters at the arcade or pizza shop back in the day. The filter effects are a little over the top, as if you discovered a rare 1984 arcade cabinet in a warehouse 20 years later and its screen is glitching. But anyway, it's simple and fun.
Not recommended Dec 2, 2020
To be honest twin-shooter no shooting, no game play no fun. Just like the old Snake games,but less fun. Only 79p but still 80p too much.
