Worth The Wait In My Opinion.

I have to admit that being as big a fan as I am of this game and with how frequently I play it everyday, well, I was quite worried that an update might ruin everything that was great about the game. Yet, in my opinion, this new update is just fantastic and to me it made "Shooting Stars" twice as good as it already was.

First off, I think that the new bosses, at least the two Ive encountered thus far, are just hilarious and lots of fun to try and beat. I wont say which ones Ive seen so as not to spoil the surprise for other players. But, the ones that I have battled so far fall in line with the original trend of taking celebrities and giving them similar, goofy names. So, very excited and happy to have funny new bosses to fight.

Also, I am really enjoying the new marionette patterns I guess you would call them, or routines maybe. It breaks up the tedium of playing the same ones from before and some are quite fun to see orchestrated I think.

I think that its neat, too, how now when you kill and explode a marionette, the screen rumbles a little bit. I found that to be something that in the beginning I actually didnt like the change, but the more I played with it I really started to enjoy the added animation and experience. Another great new feature I think is having the three levels of hamburgers now. That new surprise is close to my most favorite thing about the new features. You have the classic triple-shot green shooting lasers, but now also have a blue sort of double-shot laser that is powerful and a triple-shot that also continuously fires Ro-Cats at the same time. Which, I think all three are superb but the latter is really something special I believe that really adds some "oomph" to your laser blasts.

I think that there are some more new features that Im forgetting to mention too. In the end, though, BloodIrony just could have not produced a more spectacular and fun-filled update in my opinion. Something I already loved and played way too often, has just become that much better to me. As I said in my reviews title, it has been quite a wait to get new content for this game. But, if all future updates are, what I consider to be, this wonderful, well I am more than happy to wait for them.

My sincere thanks and gratitude to BloodIrony for this incredible and exhilarating update and for all of the blood, sweat and tears that you no doubt poured into it. If you are like me and you had some reservations about updating the game, take my advice and update it right away. Thanks again and God bless.

Something else that I forgot to mention in my last review that I really like. Is the new way you select Ultimate Attacks. Previously, any time that your character floated over a Ultimate Attack you selected that one, despite whether you wanted it or not. Now, though, you have to hold Tscherno over any Ultimate Attack for like one or two seconds before you gain that new power. As I said, I just think that this new feature is great. Because many times, especially at the end of defeating, Nuck Chorris. Tscherno, would automatically slide over an Ultimate Attack that was on the board and it was generally something that I didnt want to have. So, thanks again to BloodIrony for these wonderful new features and improvements.

I should also say that I really like the nod to the, what I consider to be - comedy/horror film, "Idiocracy", in regards to one of the new bosses. I have seen that hilarious and chilling-possible-prediction-of-the-future movie, more times than I can count and it is so fun I think to see it referenced in Shooting Stars. If you havent seen the film I highly recommend you view it. Youll definitely find it hilarious I think. But, you might also want to add the horror genre label to it like I do, as well, after viewing it. Or, its dystopian future might make you feel right at home and seem like a very normal and preferable culmination of todays devolution of intelligence, morals and values. Im which case, "yikes!"

I already would have recommended this game before, but now youd be crazy I think to not check it out with all of these new upgrades to it.
