Never would have expected to have played a microwave buckshot roulette game lmao. Honestly it plays exactly the way it should play, and it's pretty fun. Just such a batshit insane concept but honestly with the ultrakill style soundtrack (and the questionable menu music lol), the music works surprisingly well for this kind of game.
My main complaint is that we never see a health bar for the microwave, and because the win condition is to just outlast the timer, it kind of incentivises waiting around rather than trying to kill the microwave. If each time you shot it, it gets more and more broken until it dies, it would be great. Also the retry button does nothing. Otherwise, i guessing fixing up the ui and adding some sound effects for things like shooting a blank are all that are necessary to make it more peak.
W game. It's pretty funny how the graphics are all telling you it's a serious deal with the realistic/dark graphics and the camera panning and all that, while what's happening is playing Russian Roulette with a microwave hahahaha.
Would be nice to pause the countdown while you make a decision because you can just cheese the game by waiting it out. (but it wouldn't be very fun. Who doesn't like gambling?)
Most of all thank you for teaching me how to play Russian Roulette. I love gambling.
Early on I was thinking about having a game where you're against a boss with a timer and just trying to survive until their countdown ends and this is actually a very interesting way of doing it! It was fun trying to keep track of the live/empty count in your head as the round went on to better your chances. Would've been cool if a successful shot on the microwave made its time go down but this was really funny and unique!
It does actually! But the games a little bugged sometimes it doesnt register through. Thanks for playing
How very whimsical and joyous, who doesn't love gambling you know? I like the different things like camera moves and how the text appears and stuff, makes it feel a lot more polished. Oh and I gotta say, love the trailer lol. Yeah like the game its fun
