Xbox Live Indie Games was an interesting experiment for those who knew about it during the 360’s lifespan. There were many games there that never would have seen the light of day in any other marketplace, interactive fever dreams that make Steam Greenlight’s output look like AAA blockbusters. It was a true rarity to find a game that was playable, much...

Overview
Shütshimi is a randomized shoot'em up about a muscle-bound fish with memory problems defending the seven seas. Armed with your trusty bullet-morphing shotgun, defeat or navigate through waves of enemies and collect powerups as you battle your way through each of the game's bosses. But there's a catch (there's always a catch): you've been cursed with an incredibly short attention span. Combat waves and upgrade cycles only last 10 seconds a piece, so you'd better act fast!

Each 'level' is seconds long where you kill 6 - 7 of the same enemies over and over. Your starting weapon will be your most useful in fighting enemies and bosses- making alternates more or less useless. At the end of each...
Having a blast with this one, an obvious choice for those who are into 2D style shoot em ups and retro tunes. The art is colorful and vibrant with all sorts of neat little modes and accessories for your fish. Bosses and powerups makes me want to keep coming back for more. I would totally recommend this to hardcore gamers and casual ones alike!
This is not a conventional shoot 'em up, and I'm not talking about the art style. You play a very short wave, around 10 seconds, with a bunch of enemies rushing you. You shoot them down... or not. Then you're in a 10-second upgrade screen with three choices. It's designed to keep things moving fast, but I hated being rushed into reading and making my...
