Bad Guy Adventure is more of a Action Shooter game with light platforming elements to move around the screen and get to the exit. It was released on Steam on Feb 17, 2021 and never been given away before here. Controls are WASD keys to move (unremappable in game such as using arrow keys which should be added), W or spacebar to jump, E to reload or exit, and using the mouse to aim and shoot.

Yes there have been a number of very similar looking games given away here over the last few years, using the same or similar mechanics, though obviously with different characters, weapon types and environments. In this case the 360 degree mouse aiming is a plus over some other titles that just shoot left or right for the shooting mechanism as its more of a action shooter first...however the platforming elements such as double jumping off a wall dont feel very smooth and perhaps can use some work if its intended to be sold. Once hit by enemies the screen also darkens which makes it a bit more challenging as its harder to make out enemies but is at least playable, and the game itself is designed to be more difficult than usual- for example enemies shoot back, each level is a bit more difficult and you wont see the usual health boosters littering the screen as normal. I would change the darkening however to only a few seconds rather than for the remainder of the level.

There is no story to speak of both in game or even in the description. If you enjoy shooting enemies which jumping around the level you may enjoy this title, but if you are looking for a top grade platformer or shooter its lacking vs other titles in both of those genres and perhaps why there are no reviews on steam.
