Arrowburst

arrows for an hour innit

Definitely the weakest of the 3 games in the small incremental bundle. When picking it up on sale, it might genuinely be cheaper than dirt considering the economy these days. Unfortunately, this game absolutely fits the saying "you get what you pay for", and the general gameplay is about as bland as dirt too... In many ways, there is nothing explicitly "wrong" about the game, most upgrades are atleast relatively impactful, and there are few bad ones out there. The upgrade tree is reasonably structured, the game looks ok, if perhaps not groundbreaking, and the music is decent. The gameplay is... serviceable, if a little grindy at points, and while it is incredibly short, it doesn't really pretend to ever be anything else. The problem lies in how there just isn't anything explicitly "right" about the game either. Both the graphics and gameplay steer a little too hard down the minimalist design philosophy, to the point where there is hardly anything left. There simply isn't any "spark" or "life" to it like you might find in other short incrementals. The progression is pretty linear, and since all your weapons and abilities are completely automatic, there is quite little for you to a…

Fun enough mouse movement, pleasant gameplay for a little more than an hour.

Progress is super slow, and feels like it's been done that way to prolong the game past the 2 hour refund window.

It should be $1. It barely gets a thumbs up. It's EXTREMELY SHORT but at least the upgrades are useful.

This is a very short game, but well made. It takes about 1 hour to get 100% achievements. Progression felt good, and it suits the passive style of playing that I enjoy. I do wish there was more to it, like a new game+, or more zones. But enjoyable none the less.
