First Taste - Death vs. Monsters 2 (Flash)

Heylo everyone! Just a quick one today, I'm afraid... It's another flash game! In it you play as, presumably, Death! And you fight monsters.

Aesthetically speaking, the game is alright. It's somewhat cute, and very simple in design. The music flows well and it's really a very simple, but well presented package.

Where the game falls off for me a bit is in the gameplay... It's pretty tight, and the game in and of itself is actually fairly fun. But at the same time, the way you fight the monsters is with a constantly-shooting attack...that trails behind you. If you move up, then the 'gun' positioning will place it behind you and will shoot down. This makes it a lot more difficult to aim where you want as compared to the keyboard-and-mouse or dual keyboard "Twin stick" models that you'd normally see in a shooter like this.. They do help you out a little bit by letting you hold the mouse button down to "strafe", or lock the 'gun' in place. However you wanna call it! But even still, this can be awkward.

I just don't really have much to say about this game... It's okay, but nothing amazerating, or bad, or anything... For now, I guess I'd say it's salty. But honestly it's closer to bland than anything..
