A game in two parts: First, brave your way through a confusing maze of menus, then take to the air as the indefatigable "Hoodie Girl" and blast sentient advertisements into cold, hard cash!
FEATURES:
- Loop-tastic speed insanity! Every time you beat a level, the game speed increases!
- Time Pulse gameplay -- Slow down time and turn enemy bullets into score drops!
- 2-Player local co-op
- Weekly Leaderboard! Show up often + Show Off your play skills!
- Brand new Steam Achievements!
- PARKOUR!!!
- Based on a true story*!
*Plus slight embellishments
==== WAIT, WHAT IS THIS? ====
Okay, so the actual shoot-em up plays like this:
It's an infinitely looping, high score game.
This is not a regular shooter, the level structure is not like R-Type or Ikaruga or Dodonpachi or most shmups. There is only *one level*, but it keeps changing with each loop.
The crazy part is, every time you beat the level, the *speed of the game* increases. It gets quite challenging by loop 5, and incredibly difficulty by loop 8.
To help out, there's a powerup called 'Time Pulse', in limited quantity. It slows down time temporarily, and if you shoot the enemy bullets during this time, you zap them into cash. And for every so-many bullets you destroy like this, you get a new Time Pulse! It's good to get you out of a jam, and man does it get tough later on.
Once you understand the flow of the loops, you'll know when the best time to spend your Time Pulse, and you'll start to figure out how to chain them, earn more, to get further.

If you never had an Xbox 360 the initial premise and UI may sound weird (and kinda funny), but there's a bullet hell shooter hiding inside, like a mashup of Darius and Cave games with lots of football players, card, donuts, crabs, fish, and of course cats. It's an oldie but a goodie and at 5 bucks or less it's a great value. Just exploring the "MediaBall" and trying to find the game-or not-has enough humor to make you laugh (and a few achievements too). You may never want to hear "PARLOUR!" again after playing but it's definitely worth a try. If only because of cats.
A homage to the old Xbox Live Indie Games Service that doubles as a fine SHMUP as well.
Paaaaaaaaaarkooooooooooooooooooooooooooooour!
Game Type is a badly made 2D retro pixel arcade bullet hell/shoot 'em up with glaringly ugly screens, poor visibility, and janky controls. There's a weird Xbox 360 meta going on, but it looks bad and inauthentic and detracts from what is already a bad game married with a bad concept. The only other differentiator is you're supposed to keep repeating levels, this is typically because the developer is lazy and couldn't be bothered putting in a lot of effort making a lot of content, so repetition is better (for the developer, not for gamers).
From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard.
A choice was made to use obsolete, decades old retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result.
There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks. There's no way to ensure this is running at the native resolution of your display. There's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision.
The controls can't be customised, which will be an annoyance for many, but it can also render the game unplayable for differently-abled gamers, left handed gamers or gamers using AZERTY or other international keyboard layouts.
These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game.
Game Type didn't appeal much to the people who own a copy of the game, either. It has achievements, and they show us a very clear picture that the game didn't really capture any interest from gamers. The most commonly and easily attained achievement is for navigating the menu and starting the game, trivial to get, but less than 19 percent of players bothered to get that far before uninstalling the game. Hardly a success story, gamers just weren't all that interested in the game.
Reviewing SteamDB to check how popular this game was with players reveals a surprise... there's a modest spike in player counts for the game. But this only happened once, and isn't consistent with the achievement stats, that show less than 19 percent of players bothered playing the game for any reasonable amount of time. How is it possible for this game to have so many concurrent players who didn't bother engaging with this game? Trading cards. People will use card idling software to collect the cards and sell them, but this won't trigger any achievements in-game.
That tells us people only really bought this game for trading cards, and that's a damning indictment of the woeful quality. A closer look at the numbers shows the game just has a couple of players every week running up the game and idling it for cards, then deleting it. We must ask how it benefits gamers for there to be so many games like this, with little merit as a serious game, that only generate sales from people idling and selling the trading cards.
Game Type is relatively cheap at $3 USD, but it's not worth it. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, this is impossible to recommend. This is also competing with over 9,000 free games available on Steam, many of them far better than this paid product.

I am 32 years old.
My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old.
When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing.
Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side.
With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of you. In fact, I may have played this game for only a day or two. That being said, after doing so, I had a new joy and hope for life. I managed to leave behind the pain and suffering that had been thrust upon me. I could experience the joy and happiness of other people. I relaxed for 5 ♥♥♥♥ minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.
After realizing this, I turned off the game and went back to work. My hand hurt a lot, but I was motivated. I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and became the father I needed to be at that moment, not the weak boy I was behaving like.
Today, I am close friends with the mother of my children. We don't fight, argue, or say hurtful things to each other. We are parents and friends.
Now I have 3 children. My third child is, wait, ALSO 4 YEARS OLD. The woman I am with was going through a very similar situation at the time of my separation, and we just unexpectedly stumbled into each other's lives. We have been dating for a year and are very happy together.
Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today. This silly little game helped me realize that.
Thank you.
great little shmup. lacking in content. but it's good.
Shooting mechanics are solid.
DISCLAIMER: This is a first impressions review, and NOT a full review
Game Type is a game developed and published by Mommy's Best Games
The game offers some pleasant graphics and really vibrant colours, although some ugly glitches here and there, it is pleasant all the same
The game does suffer with some repetitiveness at certain areas of the game but a fun game nontheless
The game also suffers with some weird bugs and glitches which the developer seemed to have overlooked but they don't hinder the game at all
Game Type overall, however, is a fun game to play in short bursts!
RECOMMENDED :)

Game Type is dated, crude, short but I guess that's what it's suppose to be..lol Typical little arcade shooter thingy, no worse than any other of this particular genre. Certainly provides the entertainment value of these types of games. Grab it if you're into this genre,
"Kids, drugs are bad.... mmmkay? See this is why you should not smoke the marryjuwanna and program at the same time, mmmkay? Stuff like this game results from sinful wacky tobacky, the gonja, the sticky icky... Fact is we need to be more careful in the future when making games. Think of the adults who might play this game and suffer brain damage!"
Honestly, this game is crazy-uniquely-fun. I do recommend you see past the initial strangness of the game. This is like Adult Swim took acid and then a stab at making an anime shooter that wasn't anime. It's got a unique spin on a game and after just a couple tries it's kind of addicting.
Plus after beating Explosionade a few weeks ago I kind of enjoy this studio's wacky games. Get in the bundle too. Keep up the strangeness. :) Mentally insufficient review over.
fast paced arcade game, and a meme in itself
this game is addictive as f**k, good game to play to kill time.
Great find!
This game has given me the weirdest dreams in the world! 0_0....
Parkour!!!
I cant make sence of this game im high just looking at the visuals. its a great bullet hell shooter. its like you are in lsd land really good bullet hell shooter
Pretty good considering it's more of a joke game than anything! It's full of memes, cat pictures, and random sound effects but the shmup is solid. I would and will play it again soon.
I really think they could have tried a little bit harder overall, even in their mock menu they have a bunch of fake tiles to click on to make you think you are at an interface like the Xbox dashboard... But many of the buttons are duplicated, there are different tabs with buttons on each but all four fake buttons on each page will show you the same couple-second-long animated gif. It would have been so easy for them to include a few more gifs to make it actually interesting to go through them. It just goes to show how little effort was put into the game overall.
Also there is only one game mode, Parkour, which is not parkour at all. It's a shoot-em-up game. The parkour part is the girl says "PARKOUR!" every time you shoot. It gets annoying after about a minute.
With all of it's drawbacks, the gameplay is solid. I had a lot of fun playing it and I wish they polished it up a bit. I think the name of the game "Game Type", and the inclusion of a mock game store would have been a great opportunity to include more than one game mode. They would have had a hit on their hands if they had 3-5 different game modes. But what they ended up with is a relatively decent shmup.
In this modern age of digital distribution, Steam sales, and consumer advocacy vlogs, it can get a little hard to remember way back in 2011 when Microsoft decided that they could do whatever they wanted with no consequences. Mommy's Best games were (as I understand it) a bunch of scrubby punks who made some surprisingly decent games in the Xbox 360's proprietary indie game framework, and this is their God Save the Queen. Game Type is dated, crude, short, and angry. It reminds us of the time a multi-billion dollar software corporation sold out.
No online co op.....
