Battlefield 1943
Stars indicate the most critically-acclaimed games. |
[Downloadable Game] Developed solely by Jonathan Mak, Everyday Shooter won three awards at the Independent Gaming Festival at the 2007 Game Developers Conference. Unlike traditional arcade shooters, the sound effects in Everyday Shooter play in musical harmony with the game’s background music. Throughout Everyday Shooter’s album of games, typical arcade sounds of destruction are replaced with guitar riffs harmonizing over an all-guitar soundtrack. Album of Shooter Games – Each of the 8 ‘songs’ or levels has a completely different visual vibe and chain system. Vector-Based Graphics – Graphics are created from mathematical equations celebrating the beauty of geometry. Stunning, Evolving Synaethesia - Every shot, hit, or explosion creates a visual and musical inspiration that produces a note, chord or riff that harmonizes into the song for each level. Full HD at 1080p – In addition to the fluid music, enjoy the brilliant colors and stylized visuals. [SCEA]

GamePro
Everyday Shooter is one of the most compulsively re-playable games we've ever played and a terrific value. PS3 owners bemoaning the lack of quality titles should stop whining and get their hands on this budget-priced masterpiece immediately.

The Onion (A.V. Club)
A humane unlocking scheme lets players spend the points they earn during play to access later levels. The days of marathon Geometry Wars sessions are over.

Gaming Age
It's not every day that we'll get another shooter like this, but it's a good one for every day we don't.

Gameplayer
The play balance is sublime.

VideoGamer
On the whole this nugget of serene gaming is near flawless. This certainly won't be too many tastes, but if you enjoyed Every Extend Extra or seminal Flash game Boomshine, this latest PSN shooter is one you'll want to play, well, every day.

Everyday Shooter has personality, but it has one more thing besides, something all but lost to the chilly technicalities of modern gaming. Soul. [Feb 2008, p.133]

1UP
Though the sometimes frustrating difficulty and occasional pacing misstep taint the experience slightly (it would be nice to have longer moments of respite between the busier levels), Everyday Shooter succeeds wildly as an engaging shooter for the art-house crowd, and a creative change of pace for the hardcore-shooter crowd.

Games Radar (in-house)
The only thing “everyday” about this shooter is how often we’re playing it.

Gamer 2.0
Everyday Shooter is certainly no Geometry Wars or Super Stardust HD, but that’s the beauty of the game. If you want a new take on the twin-stick shooter genre, Everyday Shooter will certainly give you what you want and maybe even a little bit more.

With a few more levels, it would've been exceptional, but it's unique, engaging fun as it is. [Issue#162, p.82]

TotalPlayStation
A game that unites clean, sober folks and dirty hippies alike. Such is the power of a Queasy Game.
83
Console Gameworld
A solid game with a few flaws, this shooter isn't the best of it's class, but it certainly stands out.

GameDaily
While it lacks the high-tech finesse of Super Stardust HD, Everyday Shooter explodes with style. The eight stages offer tons of blasting action with a musical twist, and we enjoy replaying them.

GameSpot
Everyday Shooter is an intensely creative and challenging take on the dual-stick shooter genre.

EuroGamer
Being able to move more quickly when you're not firing is a smart twist with intuitive strategic consequences, but there are much smarter decisions at the heart of Everyday Shooter's logic.

Hardcore Gamer Magazine
A host of unlockable content, including graphic filters, extra lives, and single-level score runs rounds out the package, providing plenty of replay for your trippy musical abstract gaming dollar. [Dec 2007, p.69]

A brilliant game design that leaves you begging for more. And for online leader boards! Why didn't they include those? That would make sense.

Edge Magazine
A personal and affecting play experience. [Mar 2008, p.103]

Boomtown
It’s a word I keep repeating through the review, but much like flOw gave us something resembling a game but that was definitely an experience, this remains a game that is artistically painted into an audio-visual experience that can be both challenging and rewarding.

Instead Riff: Everyday Shooter takes you back to when games were simple; fun; addictive and a joy to experience.

Everyday Shooter is a game that gets better the more you learn about how to play it.

PSM3 Magazine UK
At a few measly quid on the Store, it's essential stuff. [Feb 2008, p.79]

IGN
Even those that aren't particularly fond of the genre may enjoy this title, given its unique design and execution. While the game does have its problems, it's still very fun to play.

Playstation Official Magazine UK
Like its music, though, Everyday Shooter slowly gets under your skin. Just bear in mind it's more chill than kill, kill, kill. [Feb 2008, p.96]

NZGamer
Although it's odd that they put more work into the enemy ships than the players’, this minimalist approach to the graphics suits the gameplay style by keeping the action smooth, the download small and audio and gameplay as the dominated features.

Games Master UK
A simple shooter but its unique looks and sound make it cool. [Mar 2008, p.84]
