[quote][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_slop][b]Warning: AI Slop[/b][/url] This game is partially or completely made with talentless, soulless AI generated content.[/quote] "Midnight at the Disco" is quite a train wreck... it's a top down shooter from Itch that nobody wanted, full of AI slop (the developer claims they'll remove it but it should never have been published with AI slop at all). The quality is deplorably low and there's no interest in this for gamers. The developer yanked this out of Early Access but it looks and feels incomplete. Nothing to see here, move along. What do you do in the game? Top down shooting, only not as good. As mentioned, this features really godawful, "wrong" looking AI slop instead of genuinely and sincerely created game assets. It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to do the job of creating real game assets or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter. What matters is that this looks bad because of that decision. AI slop sticks out like a sore thumb... and it comes across as insulting. There's also the old adage that those who lack the budget and talent to make their ow…

Goofy little survivor game. I appreciate the leader board being there. I really only expected to play a round or two and uninstall. Ill likely check how the top scores look after awhile. No one seems to have really even attempted the gimmicky second map. I really only stopped playing because the maps seem to end on a timer, and I thought the game bugged honestly when it happened to first time. There isn't all that much to actually dislike, but as i mentioned the game sort of just ends abruptly. It has 2 levels playable at the time of review. Enemy variety is pretty same-y both in function and visually. The balancing on some of the weapons/upgrades seems way off, but honestly I expected that to be the case going in and playing other survivor games before. *My biggest complaint is visual clarity. It is very very easy to lose where you are if you don't have the green beams circling you. It got to the point where i was forcing myself to use them just so I could see where i was. Almost Every projectile in the game is an eyeball, yours green, enemies blue(even the enemies eyes them-self are blue), and with about 50 of theirs and 50 of yours on screen at the same time it gets messy. Al…

Annihilate grotesque eyeball monsters in this top-down, roguelike, bullet purgatory, twin-stick shooter. Survive a full day raging on the dance floor by blasting baddies using unique builds combos on each frantic run to nab a spot on the online leaderboards.

Game's good, and not even just for a free buy, but in general! Moving and shooting feels solid, dashes are satisfying, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, it's got good disco tunes! They're quite catchy without being annoying, even down to the menu music. Its like I traveled back to the early 2000's and found a REALLY good flash game from like cartoonnetwork.com. The devs captured THAT kind of magic, y'know? :)

It took a little bit of time to figure out the mechanics. After that it's a good game to play. Enjoyed it! Works without issues with Proton. Feedback: 1. It doesn't make sense to highlight the tile underneath the player since the character doesn't snap to it. That was a bit confusing at first. 2. The health bar is hard to see. 3. The leaderboard would have monthly high scores. Seems like people gamed the system and submitted extremely high scores. i.e. in the millions
