TWWWR

For reference, I completed the game's extra ending on hard mode with 19/20 trinkets. TWWWR was a solid (yet brief) action experience. The art and sound design are very impressive; TWWWR's desolate, bizarre world is convincingly sold to the player by a beautiful pixel art style that contrasts bright colors and vibrant flora with moody shadows and decaying metal structures, and a soundtrack that keeps you immersed with ambient synths and droning bass tones. The characters designs were also very cute; I'm a sucker for any game where every character is inexplicably an anime girl, especially one in a little raincoat and a bucket hat. The gameplay itself was overall solid. I think its strongest aspect was the customization options afforded to players by the trinket system. I like that you start with very little; you walk slowly and shoot only a short distance, you can't fire and move at the same time, drops aren't pulled towards you, etc. The game makes you think about your priorities in...

A fun little twin-stick shooter that only runs a few hours if you want to get 100% completion but still more than worth the low, low price. The music alone is worth the price of admission. It's a wonderful example of a no-frills indie game.
