Description: Project Shield is a simulator that allows you to step right into the shoes of a person who is in danger. Who wouldn’t want to do that? In Project Shield, you will be able to test your endurance to see how long you can survive. Currently, the only simulation in the alpha is the abandoned classroom. In that simulation, you will do everything you can to stay alive as long as you can. Given just a book to protect yourself you are under constant fire being shot at from 4 places by pencil sharpeners that were rigged to shoot sharp deadly pencils at you. Do you have what it takes to beat your friends in this simulation that will test not only your endurance but your reaction time and ninja skills?
Review: Project Shield is as basic as indie games get. You have a book and you are under attack from killer pencils and you need to use the book to stop the pencils from killing you. And that is all the game is. Just keep going until you die, or you just give up on life itself. If this was a freebie I would have suggested you have a laugh with it then never play it again, but even for the small price of £0.79 I can’t recommend it. A good effort I suppose, just poorly executed.
