Crunge is a strange shooter from the Revenge of the Sunfish creator, free on Android
Eye popping
Jacob Buczynski is known for being the creator of cult weird 'em up Revenge of the Sunfish. But, more recently, he's been making smaller games for PC and Android.
The latest of these is called Crunge. It's an engaging arcade shooter plastered with Buczynski's recognisable art work.
The idea is to burst open bouncing enemies by shooting them with the power beams shot from your gun. There are suns, cat faces, footballs, and even Pac-man gets involved.
As they're shot, the enemies split in half, becoming smaller and smaller. To beat each level you need only to clear the level of enemies (at which point your character jumps for joy and their eyes pop out their head).
The challenge here is that you can only shoot the beams vertically. It encourages you to get underneath the bouncing enemies to shoot them.
However, the beams linger in the air for a second after being shot. So you can shoot them in front of the enemy so that they bounce into it.
There are over 40 levels to beat with boss battles giving you a right challenge. It's certainly worth a look if it has any appeal to you what so ever.
You can download Crunge for free on Google Play. It's supported by ads but I only saw one while I played it, and it was at the main menu.
