Minimalism is good. – Shot Shot Shoot Review

ShotShotShoot relies on the skill and interaction of players, while providing a balanced, yet simple base. It is necessary to play against a human, as the most fun with these types of games is to observe your opponent and shift yourself as he is shifting. This is a beautiful game, in the way that few games are beautiful. Aesthetically, it's great in its minimalism. The audio is nice, but I am one to turn down the audio of any game. The gameplay itself is the wonderful thing: it is balanced and simple, and it is minimalistic such that almost all emphasis is on the human to human interaction and in providing a non-intrusive platform for such interaction. The only complaint I have so far is the "dead zone" where one loses control of his dots. Once a player moves his finger into this zone, he cannot regain control of the dot. I realize that this may exist because of the nature of the single-screen setup, but it would be nice to extend the interactive zone, or at least to give a more noticeable cue that the player has moved into the dead zone.
