| Everyday Shooter. Queasy games |
An extraordinary combination of addictive gameplay and poetic abstraction.
Everyday Shooter is structured like a well-crafted music album, except instead of a collection of songs, it's a collection of shooters.
Each shoot-em-up game was motivated by a different inspiration, ranging from games like Every Extend to Hayao Miyazaki's film Porco Rosso.

Developer's statement
Every attempt to create the ultimate in innovative gameplay ended in a complicated mess of rules and controls. Finally I stopped running, stood still and realized that even the simplest of things can be the most beautiful of things.
Thus my tribute to the simplest games that I know: the abstract shoot-em-up.
