What players are saying
There is a great variety of both innocents and enemies to save/avoid and shoot respectively. There are even bats and chickens to shoot along with ninjas and crazy enemies out to kill you. You can save damsels by shooting the lock(s) off their bindings to free them which is tricky but rewarding. What's also really cool is that you can shoot enemy projectiles out of the air as they are coming at you granted you're quick and have bullets still in your magazine. One other fun thing they added is destructible objects like barrels, boxes, explosive barrels, and even things like guitars, pumpkins and boxes of fireworks.
I also find it awesome that it seems like each time you play, the route the game takes you on is different. I have played around 5-10 runs and so far it's different each time and I really like that. Sometimes you go up stairwells and fight your way through, sometimes you go through the main street of the time. It's a little different with each run which keeps the experience fresh, interesting, and unpredictable.
Another thing that's neat is that you can upgrade your gear and improve things with upgrades that you can purchase with the cash you get from your runs. These upgrades can increase your magazine of bullets, your score from a head shot, etc.
There's also missions to shoot for and tons of stuff to do including different modes of play such as Time Attack (best score in 3 minutes), Zen (just relax and enjoy shooting for 3 minutes without harm), Hardcore (harder and brutal enemies), Hyper (really fast and keeps getting faster), etc.
Also the music and sounds are great and makes the experience very enjoyable. It it catchy and gets better and better as it goes.
Overall, it's a really fun rails shooter game for only $4 with that 'just one more play' vibe. I highly recommend you pick it up if you like games like this or think it looks fun!
Short version: 87%
The level size in Mad Bullets may be small, but thanks to its randomiser, this rail shooter offers incredible replay value and game time for a low price.
Long version:
Mad Bullets is an arcade rail shooter that only has three (main) stages, but it uses a simple yet ingenious trick to offer more than other games with three times as many level: a randomiser.
This randomiser is truly global, as not only it affects enemy spawn, type, and aggression, but it also mixes up bonus item locations and even the levels themselves (all stages are built on the fly from a number of pre-set segments).
Mad Bullets is also not an easy game. Like in most endless shooters, the longer you manage to stay alive in a session, the more difficult it becomes with a larger amount of more aggressive enemies (even their projectiles seem to be faster). These are not the only things that can hurt the player, as accidentally shooting civilians, hostages, or one of the randomly spawning bombs can also quickly end a session when the events get frantic enough.
To further boost replay value, the game has an upgrade system, where players can collect gold during gameplay, and then spent it on either permanent or session-specific bonuses. These are the usual stuff: more health, ammo, better score multipliers, more item spawns, and so on.
There is only one major issues with Mad Bullets: due to a glitch, reaching level 20 essentially prevents you from competing for high scores anymore, so make sure to unlock only it when you are ready to move on.
