Editorial Review of DUO

Shoot stuff! That's what the instructions for this delicious old-school abstract shooter read--in full--and that's what you do. Shoot stuff! There is no plot, no framing story, no dialog, no pretensions, no MixedCase TechTerms describing the CoolEngine--just stuff to blow up! Mostly circles of different colors, that spawn other circles, that zip, zoom, explode, and try to blow up you. You keep shooting until you've blown up too many times.

It's amazing good fun.

There may be strategy and tactics involved, but, honestly, all I did was click the 'fire' button like a speed-addicted weasel with OCD. You get power-ups as you play -- I think it was by catching the little white things that drop from some of the things you blow up--and your guns become twin guns, or shoot prettily spiraling bullets, or go to rapid-fire mode, or sometimes all at once until the screen is simply a mass of colors. This is a pure 2D game, and it's all about overwhelming visual spectacle.

As with most games of this type, it starts out slow--well, in this game's case, less fast--and progressively adds more enemies, weapons, and patterns. There is zero thought required for this game, and even less patience--just download, install, and start blasting.

    Chickens. For centuries we have oppressed them, grilling, roasting, stewing, and stuffing them in buns. The time has come for us to pay. Intergalactic chickens are invading Earth, seeking revenge for the oppression of their earthly brethren!

    A new addictive puzzle game. It resembles the famous office game Lines, but both the new rules and new board shape (hexagonal) make it a great deal different. You can play it in any mood, thinking hard or just having fun. Kids will like it too.
