Free crowd running game
Digit Shooter! is a free-to-play arcade app from Rollic Games. This casual running game lets you guide your capital, a starting amount of money, as you gather additional funds along the way. As you move along its linear stage, you choose the right gates, avoid traps, and grow your funds.
In terms of interface, controls, and gameplay mechanics, Digit Shooter! will instantly strike you as unoriginal, similar to games like Count Masters: Crowd Clash Stickman Running Game, and Sandwich Runner. However, the added customization options and the quick math involved can make it fun and slightly challenging for certain players.
Run and grow your funds
Like most modern casual runners, Digit Shooter! also follows the same premise. You control your character, in this case, a moving monetary figure, through a linear stage. To grow your funds, you must choose between paths. In this game, however, deductions are rare and players are tasked with choosing between the road that offers greater rewards. At the end of the stage, your accumulated amount determines your bonus.
Also, there are a few additions in this game, such as the ability to shoot down deductions, driving them down to zero, and ensuring they don’t harm your funds. Among the upgradeable skills here include your attack power, which is the amount you can shoot out, and the attack speed. This is where the computational challenge comes in, determining if you can eliminate deductions ahead of time.
Like most free games, however, this features way too many ads, making it feel like a cash grab instead of a proper game. Imagine a fullscreen ad unskippable for a couple of seconds after every round. Additionally, a lot of its boosts and extra features are only available after watching a couple of ads. Worse, it has glitches that make the player’s balance go negative despite not catching any deductions.
An ad-filled casual game
Digit Shooter! attempts to distinguish itself from the rest of the casual runners flooding the app market, mostly by testing the player’s ability to make estimates and calculations on the fly. However, it ultimately fails because, for the average player, it boils down to being an unplayable ad-filled app. Players looking for a real, casual experience are better off looking elsewhere.
