One of the most stylish games I've ever played. I was already vibing hard with the aesthetic, but when I beat my first level and got that level clear screen? I knew I was in love. If you even slightly think this game looks interesting, get it on sale. It took me like 35 minutes to beat my first playthrough. Not a big shmup guy but I still had a great time just witnessing what was happening on screen and blasting stuff to bits.

Deathsmiles es un juego divertido en el que lamentablemente predomina la incoherencia y las ganas de hacerte perder tu tiempo. Acá vas a encontrarte con proyectiles que te atraviesan y no te hacen daño, pero cuando estás tranquilo y sin enemigos en la zona morís teniendo salud suficiente, todo cuando al juego se le antoja, porque está mal hecho, un juego donde esos mismos proyectiles, del mismo tamaño, a veces te quitan media vida y otras una entera, porque no hay decisión de parte de los desarrolladores, no hay un plan, es poner obstáculos donde sea, en ocasiones inesquivables, y sin un rumbo claro ¿los más chicos causan menos daño? No, depende de que le pinte al juego. Ya van 2 veces que me lo paso con el mismo personaje, tomando la misma decisión al final para conseguir un logro y [b]sigo sin tenerlo[/b], es un asalto a mano armada a mi valioso tiempo.

A great CAVE shooter, breaking tradition by going horizontal.
