Brainsplatters 2: Flash Game of the Day
« on: October 26, 2006, 11:50 AM »
As you might infer from the title, this game has some violence and so may not be suitable for children.
It's a very low budget indie thing but it has some real personality, and it's a kind of hybrid of the "real-time click on the flash spot type game" like dragonslayer, and a more open ended thing.  I got a real kick out of it.

Frustrating.

What makes it really frustrating is that it's not just about being fast - when baddies enter the scene, you can't shoot them until they stand still, and then you have some <500ms time window to shoot them.

This is extremely annoying in are(n)a... 3? "It's a spy, shoot him!", then there's like 4-5 baddies appearing that you need to shoot. Then a small "cutscene" where you see this guy going out of a door, and you can't bloody shoot the fscker until you've seen the cutscene, and have, what, 100ms or so to click you button. FRU STRA TING!

but it has a charm to it.  i had to tape some stickers to my screen on the "spy shoot him" level and then solved it easily.

Haha :D - I considered the same. I ended up just pointing my finger at guy #3 a couple of times, and then the rest was easy - except for the final "boss", which made me quit the game in anger.

Too bad it has those glitches, since it does have some unique charm to it.
