Bulletstorm Fortress: Idle Defense
OMG dude sorry for texting so late it's like 11 PM but I literally cannot sleep cause I'm still thinking about Bulletstorm Fortress. You know how someone told me it was like "PolyGun – the ultimate idle tower defense shooter! Take command of a mighty auto-firing turret and dive into a world overrun by endless waves of geometric enemies"? Yeah, that description is sooooo wrong. It's like describing a rollercoaster as "a metal track with a cart that moves fast." Technically true but completely misses the point.
So, I downloaded it thinking it'd be just another boring clicker, right? But the second I started, it was different. You get this little turret, "The Peashooter" they call it, and it's just blasting these simple triangle and square enemies. But then you get your first "card" – mine was called "Ricochet Rounds" – and suddenly your bullets are bouncing off walls and hitting more stuff. It's not just "auto-firing," it's like, *smart* auto-firing. You're constantly figuring out where to place your new turrets, what upgrades to pick. I spent like twenty minutes just staring at the screen, trying to decide if I should upgrade my main turret's fire rate or unlock the "Shockwave Blaster" that pushes enemies back.
And the sound! When you get a big combo, and all these little geometric guys explode into smaller, even tinier geometric guys, there's this super satisfying *thwump-thwump-thwump* sound. It just makes you wanna keep going. I looked up and it was like 1 AM, and I swore I'd only play for 20 minutes. Your brain just gets hooked on that loop of making things more efficient. I figured out that if you put the "Slow-Mo Field" next to the "Laser Grid," the enemies just melt before they even get close. It's so good. I don't usually like these kinda games, you know that, but this one is different. It's like, really clever how they did that. Already told Sarah she needs to download it. You gotta try it man. It's really, really fun.
