Giant Killer

Giant Killer is the kind of action game you pick up for five minutes and lose an hour to. Clear the level, take out the boss, and see how deep into the game you can get before you fall. Controls: Movement is on WASD; aiming and shooting use the mouse. The basics are simple, but layered actions like dodging and reloading take practice. Tips to get better: Power-ups are more valuable when you save them for the moment you're about to lose. Every game has a rhythm. Find it early, commit to it, and your scores will climb fast. Pay attention to visual cues — most games telegraph what's coming a half-second before it happens. If you're drawn to games with a giant, killer flavor, Giant Killer hits that spot cleanly. Challenge someone else to beat your Giant Killer score — it's half the point.
