Singled Out Review

Posted: 14 months ago, last updated 12 weeks ago.

Overview

Singled Out is a spot the difference shooting game. Like the classic Guess Who game you have seconds to identify your target in a crowd. Make sure you only shoot the character matching the eyes, nose and mouth clues and you score points. The quicker you are the more points you get.

It's short and fun but also challenging. The goal is simply to beat your high score, climb the online leaderboards and last as long as you can. It's ideal for 5 minute breaks or parties (where everyone can work together and yell at the person playing).

There are 30 levels and a final boss. It offers three modes:

Family Friendly Mode: remove all references to violence and shooting for an experience better suited to younger players.
Practice Mode: disable the strict time limit to practice in a casual, stress-free environment.
Memory Mode: unlock this challenge mode to truly put your skills to the test.
