About this game
the looks
Pixelated graphics combined with simple geometry and models inside a 3D space for a simple and nostalgic experience!
gameplay
You get to play as a test subject in the testing grounds of an evil AI whereby, using your shotgun's knockback, you traverse the facility in order to face this evil AI!
If you aren't able to get past a certain level, you can always use the level selector in the main menu so that you don't miss any gameplay.
why was this made anyway?
As a start to my long jurney on becoming a great game developer i made this game as a starting point, inspired by some of my favorite games i hope this to be the mark of my begining and an inspiration to others that anyone can make video game.

Free for the win
its going freeAt the time after i released Shotgun Science, i have grown both as a person and as a game developer. I have realised that releasing my first game on steam on a price tag was a huge mistake and its time to correct it. The game is going to be free in about 1 week from now, forever. Anyone who payed for the game will keep the game.But that's not all of it. I have begun working on a different project, i hope that this one will turn out greater than Shotgun Science in both scale, and popularity. Its unofficial name for now is "Experiment Evil" and unlike how i developed Shotgun Science without much showcase before its release, this time i am going to be uploading dev-logs in my YouTube channel.I want to express that any ideas and opinions are not just welcome, they are also needed. It is needed for me to get your opinions ideas and criticism, no mater how small or un-important it may seem.So please go to my YouTube channel, watch the dev-logs and express your opinion. I also want to say a massive thank you, to anyone who purchased Shotgun Science,YouTube:Read full article on Community Announcements (Alex Taco)
