Shutshimi (Choice Provisions/Wii U/$9.99/eShop)

Shütshimi is a randomized shoot 'em up about a muscle-bound fish with memory problems.

Armed with your trusty bullet-morphing shotgun, defeat or make your way through waves of enemies and collect power-ups as you battle your way through each of the game's bosses. But there's a catch (there's always a catch): you've been cursed with an incredibly short attention span. Combat waves and upgrade cycles only last 10 seconds a piece, so you'd better act fast!
