Fingun

Cute little boss rush shmup with a pervy Japanese flavor. Like all boss rush games you die once or twice while memorizing their attack patterns, beat 'em and move on without ever really wanting to replay it again. If there was a leaderboard maybe there'd be a reason to want to keep playing this, but there isn't. It's amusing but light on content and replayability. 6.5/10

There are no enemies, it's just a boss rush. The game is.. "fine" albeit it with a major flaw (at least in my opinion): You can button mash the fire button to shoot twice as fast. Having to button mash to get the optimal output in a SHMUP is f**ing cancerous. It's not only bad for your arm, but it's also just unfun and tiring, especially if you go through this game in one sitting and especially if you can button mash as fast as I can to the point that your arm is basically reverberating. Technically you can just hold the fire button down instead and shoot waaay slower and go through the game that way ..but if there's a way to perform optimally then I want to take advantage of it rather than ignore it. ..it ticks me off.

Developed by Pixelteriyaki and published by Gamuzumi, Fingun is one of those indie titles that immediately announces its intentions from the moment it appears on screen. It combines arcade-inspired shooting mechanics with an intentionally outrageous premise, creating a game that is equal parts retro homage and unapologetic parody. Set across a collection of compact levels populated by oversized enemies and exaggerated anime aesthetics, the game thrives on its willingness to embrace absurdity rather than conform to genre expectations. While its premise may initially come across as a novelty, there is a surprisingly competent shooter hidden beneath the eccentric presentation. The gameplay centers around navigating increasingly hectic stages while avoiding enemy attacks and taking down a variety of bosses. Fingun keeps its mechanics straightforward, favoring accessibility over complexity. Movement feels responsive, and the simple control scheme allows players to focus entirely on positioning and timing. Across its fifteen stages, the game steadily introduces new attack patterns and environmental variations that help maintain momentum throughout its relatively short campaign. Its arca…

Cute little strip-em-up with good music, took about half an hour to beat. Though as you can see I felt compelled to play twice, just to see if I could 1-life it the second time (died on final boss, so almost). Whether that's worth the full price is up to you, but for the sale price I got it for it felt worth.
