comment
The above sums up the premise of Chop Goblins, a bite-sized (being completable in 30 minutes is a selling point) First-Person Shooter made with the Unity engine by David Szymanski that got a surprise releasenote One of the only prior hints to the game's existence aside of the Twitter announcement a month before was a folder of development screenshots hidden inside the files for Iron Lung on December 12th of 2022. The Excuse Plot involves you blasting goblins through a variety of time periods, spanning the modern day, 19th Century, ancient times and the not too distant future.

Every Car Is a Pinto: The cars in The Streets level may as well be Exploding Barrels in all but name, as even a single Flintlock shot blows these up. With one exception of the mid-boss of the same level, being a car hijacked by plenty of goblins.

Hand Cannon: The Flintlock has a surprisingly high damage output, one-shotting the common brown and green goblins and taking most other enemies in 2-3 shots, but it has a very low rate of fire which is slightly mitigated by the speedloader powerup in Level 2.

More Deadly Than the Male: The Chop Goblindas - introduced form the second level - are larger than their male counterparts and attack by winding up then hurling insults at the player. They're the only Hitscan enemy type in the game.

Giant Mook: The Big Choppers - first encountered in the Greece level - serve this role. They have a lot of health, are hard to stun and they throw a swarm of axes in a Bullet Hell style spread pattern, so dodging their attacks can be tricky on tighter areas.

Shout-Out
 Chop Goblins (Video Game) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: The final level is very obviously inspired by The Terminator, complete with the music utilizing synths that evoke Brad Fiedel's score as well as introducing an enemy type aptly titled Hack Goblinators. Subtle one, but the game has you start out in a present (well, as much as The '80s can be considered present) day, then go through medieval times, then onto Ancient times to finally end up in the future. Reverse the order of the epochs, and you'd get the exact order traversed through in Daikatana of all things. The Greek levels even strongly resemble the Greek levels in Daikatana in terms of appearance and environment. The Chop Goblindas behave extremely similarly to the zombies in Chasm: The Rift, a game that David Szymanski is a known fan of. It also happens to be another time-traveling FPS with a similar order of epochs (present day, Ancient times (albeit Egypt instead of Greece), Medieval times, and a sci-fi future.) The achievement for killing an enemy with their own projectile is called Die by the Sword. The flintlock may be one to Nosferatu: The Wrath of Malachi, given that the speedloader for it is identical to the flintlock ammo pickups from that game.
