Title Screen

The story

Your pirate ship has shipwrecked on a strange island and you have to defend it from evil monsters. There are all sort of weapons and turrets that can help you. You need to earn enough money to repair the ship and leave the island as soon as possible.

Gameplay

This is a typical defense game: you have to defend your ship by killing all monsters. There is a catch though: each monster is sensible to only one weapon (you can kill blobs only with the nail, birds with a cage, flames with water drops, etc). You can also buy turret guns and pirate snipers, which can help you killing the monsters.

Like all defense games, there are lots of upgrades: you can upgrade your weapons, your snipers and even your maximum ship health. You have to spend money wisely, because you’ll need them to repair the ship as fast as you can. I advise you not to research sniper training at all, because it’s expensive and you can kill all the monsters by yourself anyway (they die fast if you upgraded all the weapons).

Conclusion

Although the graphics are funny and cartoonish, the game is way too short. I first finished it in 20 days (game time), and this took about one hour of play. I tried it again and I finished it even faster, so the replay rate is very slow. It could have been a good idea to add more islands with more monsters and harder to kill.

First level

Warning: This game contains excessive violence and is not suited for young people.

The story

Billy Genocide is set in a post-apocalyptic world, where most of the population has transformed to zombies. Now you are walking on the streets and are determined to kill all zombies who dare to stand in front of you.

Blockade negotiation

Gameplay

This is a side-scrolling shooter. You have to kill everything you see. When you see a question mark on the walls, you need to search that place to see if there’s any weapon or item you can use later. There are various weapons you can pick up: a crow bar, hand gun, long gun, minigun, etc.

On your way you’ll get to some blockades, where fellow people will ask you to give them items of your choice or weapons to let you pass… The bad part is that it really doesn’t matter what items you have collected, you’ll need to trade your weapon to advance to the next level. And this is called “negotiation”. Pfff.

Killing zombies

Conclusion

Although the graphics and animations are awesome, the game is too easy and very repetitive. You just have to shoot (by pressing Space) and kill zombies over and over again. You don’t have to aim and there’s no strategy involved. Shoot, shoot, search for items, then shoot some more. That’s all there is.

In-game screenshot

This is a good single-player card game. You can get cards with all sorts of abilities; you also have life and health, and what’s interesting is that you can still play if you lose your health, but you’ll go insane: according to a random disease, your choices will be limited, and this only makes the game even more fascinating! You play against the computer, but even so it doesn’t seem to get boring.

I have never actually liked this type of game before, but after I’ve played it a little it seems that it’s quite challenging. And yes, even if there’s not much action, it can still be cool.

The complete list of cards

The AI is pretty good, and the game is getting harder after the 11th round (”Deep One Spawn” vs “Mi-Go Slave”). If you think you have some free time to spare, then you should try it.

Also, there are 21 challenges; some of them are good and keep you playing, and some others seem to be based on pure luck, although in most cases you can win if you’re good enough.
