Good fit- Retro-arcade shooter fans seeking a level-based game rather than a climbing or puzzle adventure.

Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players looking for an extended campaign may find 30 levels and three boss fights a limited scope.

- Players looking for climbing puzzles or exploration may prefer a different kind of action game.
Our take on No Stick Shooter
Its fixed 30-level structure gives the game a clear arcade-shooter focus, but leaves less room for an extended campaign. The unique control scheme is another trade-off: it sets the game apart, though the available description gives no detail on how players use it.
What is No Stick Shooter?
No Stick Shooter is a retro-style arcade shooter with 30 levels, including three boss fights.
Enemies range from asteroids and snakes to giant guns, and each type behaves differently. Players choose among several weapons, learn their strengths and weaknesses, and adapt their approach to each challenge. Additional goals appear along the way, with scores and large explosions part of the game's focus. Its control scheme is described as unique, but the supplied description does not explain how it works.
