The Bargain Bin is a weekly feature that helps out gamers in this tough economy. How does it help? Once a week, it offers a great and cheap game ($10 or less) to keep you going until your next paycheck.
Since the classic days of coin-operated machines at your local arcade, 2D side-scrolling shoot-em-ups have been struggling to find their place in mainstream gaming. As such, it’s been even harder for fans of the genre to get their fix. Today, the Bargain Bin aims to help ease some of that laborious searching.
Zeit² is the newest game in the 2D side-scrolling market and it’s only $9.99 on Steam. What you get for that money are tons of levels, bosses, weapons and gameplay to keep any side-scrolling fan satisfied for many hours. The game even promises difficulty levels that will appeal to gamers of all kinds. Sadly, no multiplayer or co-op is available, but Zeit² does make use of Steam’s achievements and leaderboards, so you can still compete against your friends directly.
