Shotgun Orc Overview
Shotgun Orc was one of those straightforward action games you'd find during the Flash era. It didn't try to be anything more than a quick, satisfying way to pass a few minutes between other tasks. The game had a simple, almost crude visual style that was common for the time, focusing entirely on the immediate action rather than a detailed story or complex world.
You control a lone orc armed with a shotgun, moving from left to right across a series of platforms. Your goal is to reach the end of each stage, blasting through any enemies that get in your way. The controls are basic: you run, jump, and duck to avoid attacks, while the spacebar lets you fire your weapon. The shotgun has a satisfying spread and knockback, useful for clearing groups or pushing foes off ledges. The pacing is fast, and the difficulty comes from the sheer number of enemies and the need for precise jumps. It feels like a frantic, noisy scramble from one end of the screen to the other.
