Pocket Gamer: Big Bang Mini Hands-On

Big Bang Mini is a difficult game to slot into a particular genre. It’s easiest to describe as an old-skool style shooter, similar in style to something like Ikaruga.

But, partly because of the format it’s on and also because instead of using spaceships and bullets it opts for long-tongued frogs and flying walruses taken down by pretty constellations of fireworks, it doesn’t feel like playing an old-skool shooter. It feels more like a ride through someone’s stream of conciousness in which you just happen to need to be constantly dodging barrages of snowballs, bubbles, falling leaves or whatever lethal ammunition is being offloaded in your direction.
