Beat on 3 star difficulty with fastest cursor speed, getting the bad ending for only having $650k score. I really appreciated the option to change cursor speed and the ability to spend points to save. The gameplay was solid with surprising variety for a rail shooter. Sometimes Tin Star was on the screen moving around and platforming so you had to watch out for enemies getting too close, and manage not being able to shoot during jumps. I liked how some bosses came back as regular enemies with low hp to preserve their unique mechanics; there was more to deal with than just guys popping up to shoot you. The trade off for shooting was quite fair with no reloading. Instead you got a score penalty for wasted shots and took health damage for hitting innocents. I did not enjoy the bottle juggling minigame between chapters and especially did not like the silly cartoon robot aesthetic. I got a good chuckle from 1 scene though where the bad guys dress up as women and hero tried to rationalize shooting them. The hero code said "don't shoot women and children", so he reasoned that since it was just women by themselves the code did not apply. Enjoyable game with good mechanics.

7.5/10
