About You Go Boom
You Go Boom is a game created by one person, using only three different programs (Gdevelop - the game engine, Studio One - for music & sounds, Clip Studio Paint - for all graphics).

* Lightweight - under 300MB install size, low system requirements (just about any windows PC made in the last 10 years, with a 3D card, should be able to run it)
* Variety - a total of 18 mini games, many different genres including platformers, vertical shooters, horizontal shooters, tower defense, pinball, shooting gallery, etc...
* Unlockable items - lots of little things to discover and unlock, an evolving/customizable title screen and shooting gallery game
* 2 Modes of play - try your hand at story mode or just jump straight into arcade mode
* No Saving/Loading - high scores and story progressions are automatically saved and loaded, no need to deal with save files, quit anytime you like (outside of a mini game or story intro) and continue later
