Creepy Road

Seriously fun and straight forward, this side-scrolling bullet hell is wonderfully ridiculous. I would definitely recommend giving it a go. Divebombing pandas and raging circus bears on unicycles. What more do I need to say, hmm?

    • “While easy mode can fix some of the balancing issues, especially when it comes to the tedious boss battles, most of what works in Creepy Road is incidental rather than part of the gameplay.”
