  .shot ( Dotshot )
.shot, or 'Dotshot' is a throwback to the good old days of handheld gaming when graphics were composed of black and white bricks, assembled to the form of space ships, race cars, pong paddles, or whatever else suited the game's content. Yup, .shot is probably one of the most ancient looking games ye'll find around these parts outside of the ASCII graphics of Nethack and Rogue; which means that the gameplay'd have to be purty durn god in order for it to attain it's 8/10 score and Editor's Choice award. And it is. What .shot lacks in graphics is made up for with sheer originality. Yes, it's a shooter, and yes, it's an aesthetically outdated shooter at that, but what this means is that the designers wasted less time on graphics, and instead spent their time well on the gameplay, which is almost flawless. The difficulty is perfect, the collisions are perfect, the sound is fownky -and maybe even a bit strange, when you hear such fownkiness coming from such an 'ugly' game, and levels are as kick-tushie as I've ever seen in a shooter; they're originally designed, with obstacles that you must maneuver around and some of the best enemy patterns in any shooter out thar to date. Don't be put off by the retro look of the game, if you like shooters at all, .shot deserves a download. To download the Mac version of .shot, go to the author's homepage, accesible by clicking the game's title in the heading of the review; click on the 'Products' link on the sidebar; click on '.shot' from the list of games; and then just click the link that says 'Mac Version' or sumptin'. There, it's downloadin'. No, I don't think you're all stupid (not -all- of you, at least)but the web site is in Japanese, and thus the step-by-step to the download link.
