[TIC-80 Games] Witch 'em Up
TIC-80 Games is a post series where I review TIC-80 games I play. You can read more about the fantasy computer in this post. and see my latest reviews on the tag #tic80games!
Witch 'em Up is a Shoot em Up game. The game was developed by tinchetsu using music by RushJet1.
The gameplay is like any Shoot em Up, though it's less dense than the genre's popular games. You avoid enemies attacks while hitting them with your magic blasts. If you get hit, you lose one health point and when you lose all three you die. There isn't much to it, but you'll keep moving as you play because there is always an enemy to avoid.
The color scheme of Witch em Up is mainly Black, Red and Yellow. There's a "halloween" feeling in the style. While I took some time to get used to it, I came to like the art and I find the blend of colors beautiful.
Witch 'em Up is a nice game to play, but it could use some improvements. I think adding power-ups will spice the things up, I didn't notice any as I played. I also wish it had score system, that will motivate players to play more and beat their personal record. This will add some replayability value.
