The Game:

70 Second Adventure is a top down escape the room shooter with what look like hand drawn graphics. Movement is using the WASD keys and to enter new areas you have to kill all the monsters on that level then walk over to stairs set in the floor and press the E key. This transports you to the next level. As you progress you will meet a variety of weird looking monsters and can pick up new weapons by walking over them; (you drop the one you were previously using, but can swap back if you wish). You'll also meet various bosses on your journey to escape the place. These as we all know take much longer to kill due to their enormous health . Monsters are armed in later levels and fire back at you.

Movement feels quite sluggish but you can escape being touched by a monster so long as you don’t trap yourself in a corner with monsters approaching from various directions. If you are touched you lose a quarter of your health. touched four times and you have to start again via the reset button.

Conclusion:

If you like top down shooters then this may be for you. The hand drawn graphic is rather childish in nature, but that shouldn’t take away from the game play experience. It looks unusual and for that reason i’ll be keeping this one despite having many better shooters of this type.

If today’s game doesn’t appeal to you and you still need a game fix, there are always alternative freebies available, or you could check out some of the indie bundles that are available via Indie Gala and the Humble bundle; there are loads of different indie bundles available , but the two I mentioned consistently include decent games that are worth buying, especially at the prices being asked, whereas 'most' of the other indie bundles that are still available tend to include a lot of those £0.79p games most of which are rubbish, though there are exceptions such as the Fanatical bundles (formerly called Bundle Stars). The latest Epic Games freebies include six batman titles worth a total of £100, the Arkham collection (three batman titles), which you’ll find HERE and the Batman Lego Collection HERE. These will be available for free until next Thursday 26th September when they will change over to two more games called Everything an epic, award-winning interactive experience where every object in the Universe is a playable character - from animals to planets to galaxies and beyond. Travel between outer and inner space, and explore a vast, interconnected universe of things without enforced goals, scores, or tasks to complete. Everything is a procedural, AI-driven simulation of the systems of nature, seen from the points of view of everything in the Universe. The second game is one of my favorite post-apocalyptic FPS games called Metro 2033 Redux. Also, check out Indie Gala for lots of freebies (20+) HERE. They add new games regularly (at least 2 or 3 every week) via their Developers showcase section; whereas some are removed. you can add them to your indie Gala library and/or download a free standing version of each game (some even have Mac versions to download). Recent additions include Crowd Control , HERE (a bloody love story between Bunny and Carrot not suitable for children due to blood and gore, despite having a childish graphic style), Lucid Nina, Journey of a Roach, Welcome To... Chichester OVN 2 : Master Tormentor Grendel Jinx !?, Hell Cat Redux, Lady’s Hentai Mosaic, Pixel Hentai mosaic; (some of the latter titles include adult content), plus Land it Rocket (moon lander type game), Poly Golf a simple top down golf game), Pixel Hentai Mosaic (adult content), Five Nations (A futuristic real-time strategy game that follows the events of a mind-bending opera of space about the survival of humanity.) and Snake Eyes Dungeon (a dice based dungeon crawler).

Ubisoft have a special on at the moment HERE that ends on the 30th September, where you can play loads of AAA games for free by signing up for a monthly deal. you can cancel the deal before the end of the free period and there’s no charge. Otherwise it costs $12.99 per month thereafter. I've not signed up for this myself partly becasue I already have most of the games that are available to play. Games include all the Assassin Creed games, all the Tom Clancy games, plus loads more games such as the Crew, Rayman Origins, Watch dogs 1 and 2, Prince of Persia franchise, Heroes of Might & Magic franchise, Anno' franchise, From Dust, Track-mania franchise, and loads more (around 200 games to choose from).
