Once upon a time there was only one twin-stick shooter worth worrying about – Geometry Wars. But as the genre has grown, so has the multitude of decent offerings. And that is where #Funtime comes in, for this is a game that combines twin-stick shooting with a good old fun time. The best thing about it? It’s available right now on Xbox One.
Available to purchase and download this very instant from the Xbox Store for Xbox One, #Funtime comes from the publishing arm of The Quantum Astrophysicists Guild after being initially created by the one man team at OneGuyGames.
Priced up at £12.49 – launch discount in place should you get in early – #Funtime pretty much does as it says on the tin, providing Xbox One gamers with a fun shooting time, as you take control of a delightful little ship and blast your way through a multitude of levels. With an Arcade mode in place to allow you the opportunity to delve through small, medium and large Survival arenas, along with the option to enjoy Waves, Zones and Funtime modes, there is much to enjoy about #Funtime on Xbox One.
But then to really ramp things up, this super colourful shooter also provides 54 Challenge levels for you to really show your skills in, with global leaderboards attached to each. Yep, we all know that bragging rights are king in any twin-stick shooter, and that is the case here.
Throw in the fact that #Funtime tries something a little different to the norm but featuring colour-changing gameplay mechanics, smart bombs, and dash elements, and you’ve got the recipe for a pretty great experience.
