Heads Up: Reciever is free on the Humble store for 17 more hours
« on: September 15, 2014, 06:47:49 pm »

As the title says, Reciever, by Wolfire Games is currently free in the Humble store.

The game is a basic FPS rogue like with very detailed gun modelling where each action usually taken when reloading in an fps has a dedicated button. The game is a product of a 7 day game jam a year or two ago so it's a bit rough around the edges. Specifically, the actual game part is a bit lacking and it's not particularly well optimised at higher resolutions. I recommend a lower resolution in windowed mode. However after playing for a couple of hours I'd say that the rest of the game makes up for it. Specifically, the feeling of fiddling around with your gun is really good and so is the general atmosphere.

Also, it's free so what's there to lose?
