This is the perfect game for people who love both puzzles and min-maxing.

Hackshot is a physics game where you have to destroy targets by shooting at them with cyberballs. Those can be modded in different ways like their bounce height, weight, destructive power or more exotic effect, each modification having a mod points cost and a point budget per ball.

It is simple on the surface and the levels can be beaten in a casual way, but the truly fun part comes after that: getting more stars by SQUEEZING every bit of value out of your mod points. Finding ways to use less points or less shots and chaining effects for huge score rewards. It is very satisfying to get those last few points for going from 2 stars to 3 stars.

One thing to keep in mind about this game is that it leans heavily in trial and error gameplay, trying over and over similar shots to find the perfect angle or the right mod combination. That experimentation is required for the higher scores. It takes a while to finish each level when looking for 3 stars.

It is a unique and fun experience.
