‘Slaughtering Can’ – A Shooter About Hydrating Hostile Vegetation

Slaughtering Can has gamers speeding round a lethal enviornment at nightfall, watering can in hand, able to water some crops or die.

I’m undecided why the crops are so irritated at you, but when the protagonist is something like me, it’s in all probability resulting from forgetting to water them for days or perhaps weeks on finish. Sorry little leafy buddies, I’m simply not excellent at remembering issues. Nicely, the crops have lastly gotten sick of this conduct and are decided to hunt you down and beat you to demise until you repair their parched lives. Higher seize that watering can and a hose and get to work. If solely you didn’t personal an infinite variety of crops. Possibly that is extra like a Silent Hill purgatory for somebody who failed their crops?

The premise for the sport comes from the will to “…make a sick reload animation for a watering can,” based on developer Graeme Borland, and I’ve to say that he’s completely nailed it. Because the crops come speeding at you within the fast-paced shooter fight, you’ll swing your watering can’s lid open, prime it off rapidly along with your hose, and produce the lid crashing again down once more with a flick of your wrist. It’s such a pointy little animation that actually stored me taking part in the sport for fairly some time. It’s a kind of issues that’s completely ridiculous and tremendous satisfying on the identical time. It doesn’t damage that the shooter play is fairly frantic even in case you are simply watering the crops.

Slaughtering Can is a humorous shooter that’s nonetheless a blast to play. It’s laborious to not crack up randomly as you play it – particularly any time you need to reload. Though now I discover myself desirous to see reloading animations for different family gadgets. I feel the vacuum cleaner might supply some enjoyable potentialities.

Slaughtering Can is offered now on itch.io.
