Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Big Bang Mini
Big Bang Mini is yet another of those releases with which the eccentricity in the title is suggestive as to the game's content. The premise follows that of many NintendoDS Shoot-'Em-Ups; with your avatar on the Touch Screen the player shoots at targets on the Top Screen, and as difficulty progress, those coming from below and each side also. However, Big Bang Mini varies these rules with considerable affect on the gameplay. Your avatar in itself cannot shoot; instead, you directly fire from your chosen point on the Touch Screen by stroking the Stylus in the desired direction of your shot. The avatar must be moved by the player to avoid incoming enemy fire, and also the splash damage of those fired shots which miss their target, however, this too must be done via use of the Stylus on the Touch Screen.
