[b][h1]Shrimp.io[/h1][/b]Shrimp.io is a very basic bullet-heaven, saved by the fact that it's free. The dev has moved onto other projects, including a better bullet-heaven, so I'd be surprised if this gets any more updates. It's also a very neat idea to have the mobile version run ads that pay toward removing plastic from the ocean, very in theme and very noble. [b][h2]Gameplay[/h2][/b]This is a fair attempt at a free game in this genre, better than some but average at best. I'm not exactly sure how many item slots you have as it's not portrayed to the player but I kinda like the simplicity. There are a few weapons to collect but no major evolutions or exciting upgrades, the game just comes down to getting extra projectiles to have an easy run. Across its 2 maps the game does have a bit of enemy variety and elites that drop what is essentially a chest, there's opportunity there for more interesting item drops than just an upgrade for something you already own. Endless has been left as experimental, it works but it's lacklustre, less enemy variety than regular runs and very easy to aim for just a few upgrades then afk for hours, getting too high a level seems to crash the game a…

Shrimp.io is a silly little survivor style game that somehow makes playing as a shrimp feel like a perfectly reasonable idea. I control a tiny shrimp underwater while fish and other creatures keep coming after me, and my main job is to survive while automatically firing my weapons at anything nearby. I collect microplastics from defeated enemies, gain levels and choose between three upgrades as I go. It is a very simple setup, but I like how quickly it gets going because I can start playing without having to learn a huge amount of systems first. The automatic weapons work well for this kind of game because my attention is mostly on movement. I have to keep the shrimp away from the growing groups of enemies while trying to position myself so the weapons can do their job. Different weapons have different firing patterns, so choosing upgrades can change how I deal with the crowds. I like that I am not constantly clicking to attack because it lets me concentrate on avoiding danger and collecting resources. Once enough enemies are on screen, even the simple movement starts to require some attention. The progression is fairly basic, but there is enough of it to give me a reason to keep…

Shrimp.io is a small-scale survivor-style action game that takes the familiar bullet-heaven concept and gives it an amusing aquatic personality. Developed and published by VuVuu, it places players in control of a shrimp facing relentless waves of fish and other underwater creatures. The premise is intentionally simple, but that simplicity is part of the attraction. Rather than surrounding its central idea with complicated systems, the game concentrates on movement, survival, automatic attacks, gradual upgrades, and the satisfaction of becoming dramatically stronger over the course of a run. Combat is designed around accessibility. Weapons fire automatically, leaving the player primarily responsible for movement and positioning. This creates a straightforward control scheme that can be understood almost immediately, yet surviving becomes increasingly demanding as larger groups of enemies occupy the available space. Since each weapon follows its own attack pattern, effective play involves learning how to position the shrimp so those attacks can eliminate enemies efficiently. Dodging through openings and avoiding encirclement become increasingly important as the screen fills with hos…

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
