    Don’t Stop, Girlypop! is a fun and fast arena movement-shooter, at its best when you are moving fast and shooting faster. The fun pink Y2K vibes add a level of charm and humor to a well-made, if a bit standard, FPS. The platforming excels at horizontal movement, but fumbles when verticality is introduced. Ultimately, it’s a great bite-sized experience and I was glad to play.

    Don’t Stop, Girlypop! is a creative, personality-driven shooter that succeeds in blending fast, demanding gameplay with an exaggerated, fun, and well-realized Y2K aesthetic. Despite the visual overload and a slightly confusing learning curve at first, the game stands out for its strong identity, care, and confident reinvention of the genre.

    Don’t Stop, Girlypop! from developer Funny Fintan Softworks is a jewel in the crown of fast-paced shooters. It brings good level design, excellent boss design, and throws in fantastic music that helps push the gameplay along. While not everything works with the game, it’s still quite fun to run-and-gun with this one.

    Don't Stop, Girlypop! is a pretty pink FPS full of diamonds and flip phones, and it also has the fastest gunplay you could ever handle.

    Don’t Stop, Girlypop! is a unique take on a genre that has, for decades, appealed to a predominantly masculine audience. By coating everything in a thick layer of pink paint and throwing some glitter on top, Funny Fintan Softworks has taken this title from a simple movement shooter to a critique of the idea of masculinity and femininity as a whole. With easy-to-learn but challenging-to-master movement mechanics that feel as fluid and fun, plus a totally original and incredibly catchy hyperpop soundtrack, Don’t Stop, Girlypop! feels like a much-needed re-tint of a tired genre.

    Don’t Stop, Girlypop will not be for everyone, but far too many games are seemingly made for everyone these days and lack a sense of personality and flavour. Don’t Stop, Girlypop certainly doesn’t lack for that, and is all the better for it. A great shooter with a lot of flair, I wish it followed its own ‘don’t stop moving!’ tagline a little more consistently, but it’s still a fantastic experience. A glitter-soaked, midnight raving, psychedelic pink fantastic experience that could be the shake up the shooter genre needs.

    Don’t Stop, Girlypop! is a shooter with a bold, unmistakable identity, blending lightning-fast movement, surprisingly deep combat, and an overwhelming Y2K aesthetic. The visual chaos and strong thematic focus won’t appeal to everyone, but those who embrace its style will find far more depth and confidence than expected.

    Don't Stop, Girlypop! swaps gritty realism for pink chrome and chaos, and brings the bold, feminine energy the FPS genre was missing.

    For fans of boomer shooters focused on speed, skill, and mastery of mechanics, the game has everything to please, even with some repetitive visuals and a deliberately cluttered interface.

    Don’t Stop, Girlypop! fits a very specific niche that has been ignored for far too long: a game like DOOM or Unreal Tournament to be played while wearing a pink bow and long nails. This game is for people who want to play classic shooters but are tired of the drab visuals, and there is no better way to replace that than with a Y2K-inspired hyper pop pink space glitter fantasy.

    Don’t Stop GirlyPop is an example of a shooter that oozes style and has some cool ideas, like using a flip phone to communicate with your handler, a woman who appears in live-action video clips on your phone’s screen. But its visuals get in the way, and its combat is too focused on chaotic speed and screen-obscuring effects. Perhaps I could still enjoy all of this if the guns were satisfying to use and the enemies fun to kill, but more often than not, I wasn’t sure if I was doing well in a fight or if my guns were even hitting anything. So I’m sorry to say I stopped playing GirlyPop before the game ended. But hey, at least I’ll have the music to jam out, too.

    Even if it doesn’t manage to blow the doors off the place in every moment, it makes one hell of an impact. Maybe 10 years from now, when the player demographics of the genre have reformed amid a wave of shooters that should have existed all this time, we’ll look back on Girlypop as the spark of a revolution.
