Review
Reviewed by on 26 Oct 2009I've always been a fan of mindless violence, shotgun funfun puts you in the middle of small arena, hands you a shotgun with unlimited shells...what more could you want!?
The aim is simple, kill as many zombies as you can without dying. Sounds easy but the faster you do it, the more points you'll get. Sneaking up on one zombie at a time would be a great tactic, but won't do you any favours on the scoreboard! However jumping in amongst a throng of zombies, may get you killed, but you will be rewarded for it in points! Shotgun Funfun uses a unique and effective way of tallying points at the end of each game, when you die. It checks how many zombies you killed on average per two seconds and multiplies that score by your total time in seconds. It takes a lot of practise to master that scoring mechanism.
The game's graphics are very neat and tidy. They are of a cartoony sort of genre but look quite good and suit the game well. After shooting a zombie, you get a massive burst of blood sent onto the back wall. This looks great after killing a few zombies near the same place and can make the place look like a blood bath! There's no background music for the game, but the only silence is between blasts of a shotgun round, which are quite few when once you get into the swing of things. The game's "pick up and play" style gives it no story or no characters, but puts you straight into the action.The game doesn't leave much room for a sequel game, as there's no story, but a second game is possible, but would just be an improved version of the current Shotgun Funfun. The lack of a selection of weapons becomes noticeable after a few plays of the game, but then the name would have to be changed to Weapon Funfun...which definitely isn't as catchy! Also the lack of level selection or change in level at all, does get annoying, but as I said before, the game is a small casual game that is meant just for instant action, so these things were not really expected.
The game has proved to be very popular amongst the Yoyogames audience and since it's release in December '08 has received over 60,000 plays and is rated over 4.0. No mean feat. on Yoyogames!Overall a nice piece of work, well polished and very smooth gameplay, a few things "lacking" from total satisfaction, but a definite 'must' play from me.
