Shoomer Booter

If I wanted to play a laggy port of Doom, I'd boot up a PS1. The monsters look like the imps from Doom with added accessories to "make them look different." It runs badly, and I have no idea why. Weapons run out of ammo faster than I asked for a refund. Edit: Years later and the developer replies, and implies I don't know how to play boomer shooters. I grew up with them. I know what a secret room is. Try again. Also, I've seen a pattern of comments saying the same thing about the game lagging. I doubt it's an issue with the players, so much as it is optimization.

In Shoomer Booter you step into the shoes of a bearded soy boy who after discovering an ancient beard ointment dreams of becoming a Sumerian warrior each night. Armed with classic weapons for FPS games you battle through pixel-art levels filled with several enemies. The dynamic fights and modern lighting add a refreshing touch to the retro FPS style in the game. If you're a fan of boomer shooters, this game offers a nostalgic yet modern experience. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZN0ozh1wy-8

It looks pretty cool in the videos but, it doesn't feel very good in the hand, something is off and there isn't any feedback or weight to the combat. Also for some reason I can't save any settings that I change. You can pick it up for next to nothing so feel free to try but, I can't recommend it.

Its not the most refined Boomer Shooter, and there are plenty of others to play, but for $4.99 you cant go wrong. Simple good fun like all games should be. Seriously though this is one you should visit after youve completed most of the greats.

I'm not sure if the issues I'm having are due to Steam Deck compatability or just issues with the game, but I'm having fun for the most part. Problems I've noticed: - I can jump out of lava before taking damage. - Enemies often get stuck in attack mode and follow me through walls. This mostly just makes them easier because I can dodge behind the wall and dodge strafe out for some pot shots. - Enemy targeting appears to be center of the player's torso, so oftentimes if I barely peek past a wall, they can't hit me. - Enemies just don't seem to target me very often. - Volume, FoV, and Sensitivity settings don't save. - The V-Sync tooltip has the same text as Invert Mouse. - Money doesn't update very consistently. For example, I ran back to the shop on the first level to buy the Armor upgrade after I had 60 credits, but my max Armor seemed to still be 100 (as it wouldn't increase past this and still told me I was already at max) and when I later visited the shop when I had another 50 to upgrade max Health, the shop showed I only had 1 credit. - Health and Armor sometimes bug out. For example, the first time I played the first mission and I was attempting to change sensitivity t…
