The ultimate realization of the "Safe For Kids Doomlike" concept. An aesthetic clearly pulled from the likes of Chex Quest, but given a silly edge with its cigar chomping, cynical protagonist. Just a delightful game with beautiful original sprite work and kickin' tunes. The "safe for work" version of gore here where enemies gib into plops of paint is just so satisfying. Every baddie just plops into a blast of paint. It's like popping bubble wrap.

Only knock against this baby is that the levels can get a little too large, too open, too undirected for their own good. Especially in episode 2, which is littered with large open fields where it's easy to lose one's sense of direction. Nonetheless, a fantastic little shooter. Those circle baddies sure gib up real good.
