So today I was doomscrolling through threads, as I so often do, when something bright green and shiny caught my eye.
What is this?! A neon green NES throw back cartridge?! I honestly assumed it was anything but a game, but that's where I was mistaken. I had to learn more. And now? So do you.
Undercover Shot is everything I loved about my nostalgic childhood, mixed with a more modern mini deduction game. Created by a first time game developer, Pirate Princess Games, this co-op game is played with the Nintendo Zapper, or equivalent (!!).
Here's how it's played:
Player 1 (The Rat) uses the directional buttons on the controller to select a character. Once the game starts, the Rat mimics the behaviors of the innocent rats to try to blend in seamlessly and avoid their ultimate demise.
Player 2 (The Boss) needs to observe all of the characters on screen to try and deduce which one is actually The Rat (Player 1).When The Boss thinks they know who the rat is, they then must shoot that character with the Nintendo Zapper. If the Boss shoots the right rat, then they win! However, if the Boss shoots any of the innocent rats, then The Rat becomes the victor.
Short, sweet, nostalgic, and adorable. If you're looking for a silly little game where you can zap until your hearts content, then learn more here, pre-order, and/or see the trailer below.
