Strange Science.

Here comes another non-horror review!!!! Strange Science is an arcade-adventure style indie game that places you in the shoes of a group of scientists who have been doomed to endless torment by a very angry god from another dimension. Anyway, the only way to escape is to travel to 7 or so different dimensions and destroy the giant evil monsters that live there. This game sounds a lot like an average arcade game that gets boring after you play it twice. However, it is not. It is a very difficult game, with a great dose of humor added in, the story is very unique, and the game itself, is very fun.


You play as one of the scientists group, each with different abilities. For, example, one guy can shoot a one-time-use burst of flames that is very lethal to nearby enemies. Another guy has a gun, which can be used more than once (this is my favorite character in the game). The game itself is played from a top-down view, and the amount of different enemies in it keeps the game interesting. Another cool factor is that you can use vehicles. The only vehicle I have found so far was a tank like thing with a bunch of drills attached at the end. It was used to destroy certain obstacles and instantly kill enemies. However, its use was short-lived, seeing as in order to continue, I had to go through a small space that the vehicle couldn't fit through. I'll just say that I died shortly after.

Strange Science, in my opinion, is a great, free game that I really enjoyed. I encourage you to play it sometime. Follow the link if you wish to download it right now.
