    Amazingly simple. This harkens back to giving us a game that is just plain fun. While awesome graphics make me go "OOOO" with the rest of them, compelling gameplay like this is much more satisfying that mere eye candy!

    Great, original title. Everything from the sound, design, visuals, gameplay ... everything was done in such an interesting and original way. Every level has a completely different look and completely different scoring system (chaining system), it's up to you to 'explore' the levels and figur out how to score. The only problem I had was that the aiming seemed to be Great, original title. Everything from the sound, design, visuals, gameplay ... everything was done in such an interesting and original way.

    Reminds me of the good old days when gaming graphics and sound was so simple that gameplay had to be excellent for a game to be compelling. This game's got class.

    It would seem that grant missed the point of this game in his review, this game while being a twin stick shooter shares little in common to something like geometry wars & blast factor.

    Loads of fun, good price point, very entertaining, plus unlockables. Who knew someone could do something innovative with a DAS.

    One of the more original, artistic games to be had. Nothing really compares to it (except perhaps Rez) and you WILL dream about these levels at some point after playing.

    While other overhead shooters seem to require an ability to twitch as fast as a 10 year old boy after a Halloween candy overdose, Everyday Shooter plays at a pace the 30-plus gamer can keep up with. Discovering the more complex scoring system for each new levels is an added bonus the older gamer will appreciate.

    Easily the best individually created game of our generation. As simple as lines, this game delivers past the point of entertainment. This is genius in a creation of intuitiveness and interaction. If you have the option to buy this game, do so! Guaranteed you will not be dissapointed.

    Even those that aren't particularly fond of the genre may enjoy this title, given its unique design and execution. While the game does have its problems, it's still very fun to play.

    Though the sometimes frustrating difficulty and occasional pacing misstep taint the experience slightly (it would be nice to have longer moments of respite between the busier levels), Everyday Shooter succeeds wildly as an engaging shooter for the art-house crowd, and a creative change of pace for the hardcore-shooter crowd.
  3. Everyday Shooter is an intensely creative and challenging take on the dual-stick shooter genre.
