Antecrypt

Absolutely brilliant. The bouncing reticule is ingenious and totally transforms how you move around and 'aim' compared to pretty much any other top-down arena shooter (this is not simply Robotron). That the reticule also doubles up as a proximity-based reload/recharge is inspired. Once you start unlocking and mixing and matching the different bits of gear to counter certain enemy wave combos, then understanding the slight but smart economy of the game, Antecrypt just becomes so much more satisfying to play and ultimately--hopefully--best. It's so good, and, like Punkcake's other games, works a treat on Deck too.

this is sick bro

as usual, another punkcake gem to fall in love with. these games keep me up far past my bedtime, and my partner helps me with the smarter ones like hexle and rock of ages

An amazing game and soundtrack! Even with what was the first Punkcake game the style of mixing game genres is fully realized and highly addictive. Edit: Playing this game enough times to get all achievements I learned about how the power ups synergize with each other, how to best take down the bots, and optimal stat upgrading. Cryptic mode is a true test of mastery over the game.

Great game to try, 100% worth the price tag. There are no bugs (except for the ones you kill) and was so fun i might play it again on hard mode.

I wouldn't search such a game, but I got it with the bundle and decided to try. Well, I liked the idea, it's interestengly played, but you start depending from the RNG of where is the target going. There are a lot of moments where the game is felt totally unfair. I'd say it's the main problem. And i've just completed the hard difficulty, and I'm going to get all achievements. But I don't get why are levels giving access to items so hard? It's very painful expirience, where you can't make levels easier unlike later with items. Also I didn't like the lack of information. You just don't see where and which stats you get before and after completing levels, so I had to write it to notes. Overall I like it. Feels like Dark Souls. Edit: I've made all achievements. Last dif is hell.
