Since we're approaching the holiday season and it seems that everyone is getting into that nice, warm Christmas feeling, I thought I might review a fun winter game. The game is called
Sift X-Mess and you can find it on
Bored.com . Now, in the game you play the very sexy part, if I might say so myself of Vinnie’s Girlfriend. You're all dressed up in a hot Santa suit and you're task is to shoot hostile enemies, who are basically some stick figures with Santa hats. If you have ever played the original version of “Sift with Shorty”, you'll find that this one is a pretty similar game. The advantage of this game is that, if you're playing it for the first time, you can use the laser you have on you have a better aim at your adversaries. Once you get used to the game, I would definitely advice you to leave the laser aside and just focus on shooting those guys in the head, because it will be easier to do that without the laser.
It might sound like a pretty easy game, right? Just stand still and shoot some stick figures..But let me tell you right from the start that it's actually pretty hard because the enemies run towards you pretty fast and as the levels progress they also start shooting at you even faster. The part that makes things even more difficult and hard to react is the fact that after every shot your aim goes higher. To counteract that downside, I would definitely recommend keeping the gun barrel at a 90 degree angle, or even lower than that. Since it's a game that needs some taking used to, watch out for how the enemies come at you and remember their positions. That will help you do better at the game and also help you progress.
I must also say that a pretty big down side of the game is the manual recharge of the gun. When it runs out of bullets you have to actually take the charger and place it in the gun with your mouse. And, unfortunately, you're enemies still come at you and shoot.
The good thing is that at the end of each level you get experience points to upgrade your ammo, health or the duration of your laser. Since, as I mentioned above you might very well stop using the laser after you get adjusted to the game, I would recommend you upgrade your ammo and resistance.
All in all, it's a cute/fun game and just have fun with it!
