Funny game. It's fun, because it has a bunch of humor and various jokes. Cartoon characters, monsters are very funny. A girl with a self-stick is very much like my girlfriend.
I also want to note that the developers are releasing patches and updates for this product, so this is not a one-time shooter. Developers support life in this game.

It's a fun game. Played it on my GPD Win 2. Really nice.
Some moments are kind of not logical but in general - plays fast and relaxing.
Also, some achievements are broken. That sucks. And it does not look like developers will repair them.

Creepy Road
Creepy Road is a stylish game with some hilariously grotesque and funny horror visuals, but does the classic side-scrolling run'n'gun action compare to the off-the-wall action of games like Battletoads or Comix Zone? Its definitely a little different, but I think it holds its own!
Gameplay
A classic sidescrolling run'n'gun with a deliberately steady pace but a whole lot of colorful and goofy chaos on a single screen. The "Danger!" sections of Creepy Road's stages almost feel like an intense wave-based shooter baked into the adventurous feeling of a side-scrolling adventure. As you progress different new scenes will lock you into a crazed battlefield of streaming enemies, closing in from both sides and demanding some serious deliberation between the usage of guns and the amount of ammo you have left with each one.
This is honestly a very hard game, more-so in a crazy chaotic way than a carefully composed one. Enemies are thrown at you in aggravatingly hard and random order, but with a proper usage of your destructive grenades and some careful planning of your ammo you can keep up a steady stream of flamed and flayed bodies. Luckily, a very healthy selection of crazy weaponry is available, and makes these Wave-based sections particularly fun and chaotic to deal with. From your typical pea-shooter pistol with frustratingly slow fire-rate to powerful shotguns, to more volatile arsenal like rocket launchers and flamethrowers to take out entire buildings in a firey display.
Like a side-scrolling Redneck Rampage without all of the sweet Reverened Horton Heat tunes, its a little rough around the edges but it has a certain challenging flair to its action that makes you want to try each frustrating section over and over again until you nail it. The variety not only in the wild and outrageous settings but the actual content of gameplay is impressively diverse, with not only run'n'gun levels and huge impressive bosses but high-flying arcade shootemup sections to shmup your way through.
Visuals/Sound
The visuals in Creepy Road are where it really shines in its stylish glory. The art and animation here seems to take strong cues from humorous animation of the 90's, with the facial expressions on Flint Trucker looking like something out of a Ren and Stimpy close-up shot and every grimy detail down to his greasy tank-top is doodled in full glory. The hand-drawn backgrounds are particularly impressive in their cartoon-ish design, getting progressively weirder and zanier the closer you get to the final destination, the great Circus.
The voice on our lovable trucker protagonist didn't exactly sound like an authentic Southerner or redneck to me and given the Russian origin of the game that is both unsurprising and forgivable, but its cool that he had voice acting at all and it didn't make the awesome dialogue or the acting any less funny. The important thing here is the soundtrack, which has a diverse range of genres and style to it to fit each of the unique settings and environments you pass through. Sound effects blare from every one of the many, many animals and creatures on screen at a time so the hilariously repetitive and monotonous nature of the various reactions can get a bit grating.
Final Thought
Sure it isn't going to win any awards for innovative gameplay or super tight controls or action, but Creepy Road has a whole lot of the same kind of top-notch style and out-there humor that a lot of the B-Movies, cartoons and Games of the 90's had. Its chaotic, maybe a little overwhelmingly so, but persistence and determination will always lead to some pretty satisfactory victories.
If you're looking for a slick and funny 90's style run'n'gun, this is one with some of the more interesting and outlandish setpieces.

Get ready for graphical amusement of Creepy Road and RAGE QUITs! This Awesome Game, provides great graphics and good fun. This is every speed runner and side scroller dream game! The idea is simple, get though the stages without dying or at least the next checkpoint if possible and take out the Boss with whatever weapons you have pick-up along the way. But remember to conserve your ammo and health as it is limited and you will need every little bit of it along the way.

Creepy Road is like stepping into a wild, twisted cartoon world where chaos reigns. The art is next level—like a comic book drawn by a mad genius. Every detail is packed with so much personality, you can’t help but be sucked in. You’re thrown into crazy environments full of traps and enemies, and those boss fights? They’ll have you sweating, testing your reflexes and strategy with each new level of insanity. If you’re into games that do their own thing, Creepy Road is a total breath of fresh air—mixing dark vibes with cartoon charm. Get ready to be hooked on this dark, yet oddly charming adventure.

I lOVED and HATED this game so much. I think that it it's charm. The art is wonderful, the enmeis are hillrious, and the levels are well made. Some are a bit too much after repeating the same level 10 times, but thats the point. The levels are creative and different enough to not fell repetitive AFTER you beaten the level.
The bosses are NO JOKE! The first 2 are warm ups compared to the latter ones. Took more at least an hour to defeat some. It comes with the same satisfaction of defeating a Dark Souls boss!
The story was quite interesting, but kind of lost me at the end... maybe a set up for DLC or a sequal.
The major thing I had trouble with was the controls. If you use the keyboad I think it was okay, a little scattered but nice.
A controller had major issuse while switching back and forth between set 1 and set 2 randomly. I never used my moltovs because I didnt know how, and nothing worked. Would also like to hide my mouse while on the game, it was an eye sore if i left it in the middle of the screen!
TLDR: Great challange with beautiful art, very minor bugs. 7/10

As far as Run & Gun side scrollers go Creepy Road is just ace!
From the loveable Flint Trucker to the challenging gameplay and diverse range of weapons and enemies to mow down, I couldn’t recommend the game highly enough. It’s like the love child of Redneck Rampage and Metal Slugs but with a Ren and Stimpy like art style!
Pros-
-Beautiful hand drawn graphics
-Intresting Storyline and funny humour
-Flint himself (He’s not your run of the mill trucker!)
-Fun, addictive gameplay
-A variety of classic and original weapons.
-Hilariously crazy enemies
-Epic bosses battles
- The music and sound effect hit the mark
- Love the Voice Acting.
- Great Easter eggs and secret levels.
-and of course Angelina!
Room for improvement-
- Sometimes when shooting enemies, the collection detection is a little off at times.
- Tighten up platforming.
-Though what Flint and the enemies say is really funny and doesn’t get old, I wish they said more throughout the levels!
What I’d love to see in future patches or in “Creepy road 2”-
-Two player would be awesome (be a great way to introduce Flint’s family or even unlock Angelina!)
- Unlockable costumes or skins for Flint.
- a 360 aiming option (however the current classic aiming style is fine)
-Having a truck driving mission …however his big rig did get totalled in the intro!
