i've reached the necessary conclusion of my vampire survivor knockoff arc, i think. i'm pretty burned out on games right now, a little too depressed and chronically stoned to put the energy into anything but just bein alive, so i got this mobile game to mess around with while i'm laying in bed. it plays like all of these games do - you move your little dude around, he shoots his little bullets at the enemy dudes, you pick up points to get upgrades, and so on ad infinitum (not 'ad infinitum' as in a single run lasts endlessly, but that every run feels basically the same). this one has the artifice of a mobile game, though, so there's an energy system that limits your playtime and a microtransaction shop and shit, you open loot boxes for new items, bleh. survivor.io plays fine, it's a serviceable clone, but it provides the absolute bare minimum for one of these games, while cramming in as much annoying advertisement shit and unnecessary mechanics as possible to idk, warp your brain i guess. so its just ok
