Bullet Candy

The name should be changed to bullet hell - because that's all it is. I refer to the genre, not some explanation of the game. Although, I guess to some extent they're more or less the same thing. Bullet Candy is another asteroids/geometry wars/miscellaneous newgrounds top down bullet hell shooter. It's pretty much the same as most of them with a few difficult challenges/achievements. Nothing special here. Move on.

Almost endless variety from level to level with many gameplay options make this level-based insane shmup an addictive adrenaline boost, and I imagine it would be even more fun if I were a phallus phreak. That is in no way a negative comment about Charlie's Games! Charlie makes some of the best Shmups around and his games are top-notch! The original Steam version of Bullet Candy was a little rough, but the updated version(s) and all his other games are incredibly enjoyable to fans of shooters (shmups)! Charlie has frequent sales on his games from his .co.uk website and I recommend them if you like shmups and, yes, they sometimes also include phalluses. seriously. Charlie's Games are Great! ---- And the UK's first major roads were developed by the Roman Empire, where phalluses were also in vogue or something, but that's neither here nor there. It's merely a connection which may have no bearing on this game whatsoever.

I bought it years ago, because it reminded me of Geometry Wars. Once played, I didn't think much of its lacklustre design and roughness in execution compared to Geometry Wars, or even Mutant Storm or Blast Factor (on PS3) which it has more in common with as you progress through the game's levels by clearing waves. I just gave it another try after so many years and frankly, it seemed to have more potential than I remembered. Maybe because of the update the dev made for the game? But holy moly! The music and SFX audio levels are way too loud and clip like crazy. It makes me frightful of damaging my speaker setup. So, on this 5 star rating scale: ★★★★★ Loved it / Recommended ★★★★☆ Liked it / Recommended ★★★☆☆ It was OK / Not recommended ★★☆☆☆ Disliked it / Not recommended ★☆☆☆☆ Hated it / Not recommended It was a ★☆☆☆☆ for me and the main culprit is the audio.

This game is far from anything that would be considered "polished" and if you're looking for a tight twin stick shooter, maybe go with Geometry Wars or Chippy instead. This one doesn't feel "done" and there really isn't a lot to it. I can't even recommend buying it on sale because it just felt like a waste of time to play it compared to other bullet hell and twin stick shooters you could be playing.

Terrible bland and uninspired SCHMUP.

giereczka spoko, jak lubisz sobie latac statkiem i unikac meteoryty/glazy/whatever i tak bez konca :V

Ugly and unbalanced. One level will be a snooze and then the next will have enough bullets to topple a third world country.

Typical Asteroids. It was written 10 years ago and I hope this guy learned what texture filtering is since then.
