‘Slingshot Justice’ Review

Bullies getting on your nerves? Raiding your lemonade stands? Stealing your earnings and supplies? Well this continues no more. Play as a boy hidden up in a tree house, taking out bullies as they near your lemonade stand, stealing your supplies, take revenge, and knock ‘em out cold! Your weapons? A slingshot, a machine gun (that shoots beans) and a mass damage gun (that shoots coffee).

Gameplay

This game is really simple to understand and a bit addictive, however, it does get very challenging after a few minutes of playing. There are various types of bullies, each with a different speed, movement and strength. The trick is to know which bully needs how many stones before he is out cold, this prevents time from being wasted and your lemonade stand being crowded with the bullies. The controls are really simple and require nothing other than tapping on your target, the slingshot is pulled back and released automatically. The thing that makes this game a bit difficult is that all the bullies move in different directions and at different speeds (as told earlier), thus precision and accuracy is required to hit the targets precisely while they move without wasting time. There are three weapons available, a regular slingshot, a high-speed machine gun, and a rocket-like gun for larger damage. The regular slingshot has unlimited ammo while the other two have limited ammunition.

Graphics

First of all, this game does not support the Retina Display, so many people might describe it as ‘ugly’ but if played on a device not equipped with a Retina Display and compared with other SD games, the graphics are pretty good.

Sound

As for sound, there is music playing the background with a steady beat to it, however, the sound effects can become repetitive. You can hear grunts and moans when the bullies take hits and other occasional sounds like sirens when you hit a partner or one of the bully succeeds in the raid.

Longevity

This game is addictive due to the fact it gets difficult within minutes of starting, it does not take a lot of time before you lose, however if you like trying to make high scores or beat another score, then this game is guaranteed to get you playing for hours.

Cost

At only $0.99, I recommend this game for all those out there who would love a real challenge.

Conclusion

Overall, with a fun yet simple gameplay, not-so-good graphics and its longevity, Slingshot Justice deserves 3/5.
