Over the past 2 weeks, I've gone through my steam library and realized I have a lot of games I didn't know I owned in the first place. Out of 20, I've only beaten 3 of them when you include this one. And I didn't enjoy it, but more on that in a bit. (no pun intended)

Dead Bits is a shooter with graphics that look like a mix of Minecraft and Roblox, for lack of a better comparison.

During the first 5 stages, the game is more on the boring side. The dubstep music and the game slowing down during certain kills makes this a weird time-capsule of what was popular on YouTube gaming videos during that time. Admittedly, it appealed to me once, but at this point, it was like an embarrassing memory I'd rather forget.

Each stage gets slightly harder, with a noticeable difficulty spikes occuring in stage 6. Levels also become tighter with smaller spaces to maneuver, while the number of enemies increase.
This, combined with the fact stage 6 introduces things that can insta kill you makes it incredibly annoying to play. The worst offender is stage 9, which is an annoying obstacle course with too many instances of things that can insta kill you.

So why did I beat it? It's one of those games where I got so annoyed I had to finish it, regardless of how I felt.
Luckily, it only took just a little over 2 hours, so it wasn't the biggest waste of time ever.
