Indie Game Pick: Bullet Candy Perfect
Bullet Candy Perfect by Charlie's Games is an updated version of the older indie game Bullet Candy, which I remember playing back when it was on Manifesto. I don't remember it well enough to be sure about what has changed (his blog says the graphics and engine have been updated), but one thing I'm sure has changed is the price: you can now choose your price, with only a $1 minimum. I went with 3$, since Charlie had recently bought my game for the same price too.
Overall it's pretty fun, my only complaint is that the bullets sometimes are very similar in color to the power-ups you need to collect, making them harder to distinguish by eye. Other than that, a nice abstract shooter.
Comments
I've been meaning to get the original Bullet Candy (I mean, it's $3.99. Sometimes, actual candy is more expensive than that). I guess I'll buy this game for the same amount (well, $3.64, because that's what I have left in Paypal)
I do wonder if there's any major differences between this and the original.

Except for all the excellent gameplay, that is! Jackass!

What anonymous said is not true. This game originally came out when all the area shooters were becoming popular. I think about 2 years ago. I bought the original version from Charlie, its really good. There were some things I'd change but I forgot what they were, lol.
The game is on my old computer.

I bought it for $3, just like the poster - a good quick game that hurts to lose at.
I'm sure I'll get used to it eventually. :(
Just finished though and will replay again for sure!
