Apple Arcade review #69: Explottens
Explottens, which I assume is short for “exploding kittens”, is another twin-stick arcade shooter. This has one kittens in it, but once you get past the cut-scenes, it’s hard to tell what they’re supposed to be. The visuals are muddled and busy, and difficult to read, especially on the phone screen. I also found it surprisingly hard to fire my gun in any particular direction: my kitten’s plane kept pointing downwards. I’m sure I would have figured it out eventually, but I gave up quickly. While that’s unfair to Explottens, there are other, better, twin-stick shooters on Arcade, and unless you’re really starving for another one, I’d give the exploding kittens a pass. Also: “Explottens”? Really?
