Capsized

Here's another game from the indie PC bundle I grabbed a few months ago. While that bundle has mostly produced games that were great (Hotline Miami, Thomas Was Alone) or at least creative in some way (Little Inferno, Dear Esther), this was the first true dud in the bundle, causing me to abandon it on its last level for like a month and a half. And today it's done. Capsized is a 2-D shooter where you bounce around as a little spaceman on an alien planet, completing basic tasks like finding and destroying markers, finding and retrieving ship parts and returning them to the base, all very generic. The worst part was the controls which just never felt intuitive, and i was still slightly struggling with them up through the final boss. On the plus side, at least the art was pretty nice- that sort of oil painting style you see in the graphic up there was applied to the whole game, so it was a little different from the usual. Still though, no reason to recommend this one.
