Critic Reviews for Don't Stop, Girlypop!
A great shooter with a lot of flair, I wish it followed its own ‘don’t stop moving!’ tagline a little more consistently, but it’s still a fantastic experience. A glitter-soaked, midnight raving, psychedelic pink fantastic experience that could be the shake up the shooter genre needs.
Don’t Stop, Girlypop! fits a very specific niche that has been ignored for far too long: a game like DOOM or Unreal Tournament to be played while wearing a pink bow and long nails. This game is for people who want to play classic shooters but are tired of the drab visuals, and there is no better way to replace that than with a Y2K-inspired hyper pop pink space glitter fantasy.
Don't Stop, Girlypop! is a yassified delight and the kind of unabashedly girl-power game I love to see. I just wish that as much energy went into the polish and game design as it went into the art, vibes, and killer soundtrack.
Don't Stop, GirlyPop! has a fun premise and charm with great feeling movement and guns that are fun to shoot, but it's ultimately inept and even its best parts are clumsy.
Don’t Stop, Girlypop! is a unique take on a genre that has, for decades, appealed to a predominantly masculine audience. By coating everything in a thick layer of pink paint and throwing some glitter on top, Funny Fintan Softworks has taken this title from a simple movement shooter to a critique of the idea of masculinity and femininity as a whole. With easy-to-learn but challenging-to-master movement mechanics that feel as fluid and fun, plus a totally original and incredibly catchy hyperpop soundtrack, Don’t Stop, Girlypop! feels like a much-needed re-tint of a tired genre.
Don't Stop, Girlypop! swaps gritty realism for pink chrome and chaos, and brings the bold, feminine energy the FPS genre was missing.
