The game starts off very enjoyable and fun. But then it quickly devolves into "guess where the level designer wanted you to go next." And that becomes frustrating very quickly. To quickly get blocked with no idea where to go next is not my idea of having fun.

Great setup, great leveling mechanics, and so forth.

It would be better if the map progressed in a more methodical way such that you're not traveling all over the place trying to figure out where the two-man team decided to hide unlocking the maps with power-ups. What made Super Metroid so legendary is you "built" the map as you explored it, you could use the X-Ray Visor to search for missed hidden areas/items, and it generally progressed in a linear way so you didn't get lost so much. This game does not accomplish any of those things that make this more procedurally exploratory.

For example: you can get "locked" in the forest unless you found the boost in the Northeast of the map before going to the forest. I had to consult a video guide to know why I was stuck in the forest. That's frustrating. I don't want to pause a game to look up guides.

Suggestion: make a second game because you have something golden as a foundation. Keep the mechanics and leveling system the same, but make the map progress more procedurally such as unlocking stuff from left to right on the map with some occasional non-essential unlocks items/power-ups that you can back track to later on in the game. Meaning, players cannot proceed "to the right" unless they find the essential power in the area that unlocks more content. Such as boosts, water hover, and so forth.

Huge Swords and Souls fan. I would have purchased this game no matter what. So you have my money for whatever Minishoot 2 game you release in the future. Love you guys. Don't take my criticisms too harshly. I still genuinely view this game as foundationally excellent - it just needs level design improvements.

2024 was so stacked with killer releases that, unfortunately, some great titles were inevitably overshadowed and didn't quite get the attention they deserved. Minishoot' Adventures is one of those games - Despite it's very well-deserved Overwhelmingly Positive rating here, I don't remember hearing a lot of chatter around this last year, and that is a shame because this game absolutely rules.

Minishoot' is essentially a top-down Zelda title - complete with all of the dungeons, metroidvania-esque abilities and map design, upgrades and secrets you'd expect - but it takes the form of a twin-stick shooter.

On Advanced difficulty, there were some sections and bosses that were genuinely challenging and occasionally it dips its toes into bullet hell territory - If you've played any of the heavyweights in the shmup genre, you'll recognize some familiar bullet patterns. It all feels like a very natural fit and the game overall is extremely polished.

It clocked in at around 10 hours for the 100%, which felt like the perfect length to me. It didn't overstay it's welcome and wrapped up right around the time I was content that I'd had my fill of the gameplay loop.
