Shot In The Dark is an enjoyable game, to an extent. Aside from the lacking story, the graphics, sprite animation, and music do well enough to carry the title. The gameplay is enjoyable, and finding ways to overcome the onslaught of enemies despite the limited options given is always somewhat rewarding at the end. Nonetheless, given the overall difficulty and limited resources, the game is somewhat not accessible to everyone, which may be off-putting for those who are drawn in by the game’s concept and graphics.

Critic reviews
- 7.5Its immense creativity is what helps set Shot in the Dark apart from its peers. While some may find its platforming a bit more difficult to master, it's almost as stratifying mechanically as it it artistically. Rest assured that this hellaciously challenging trip to the corral is a Hamilton well spent.
- All in all, Shot in the Dark is a very simple and straightforward game, but it succeeds at what it wanted to do: provide a genuinely creepy experience with the simplest graphics and controls one could imagine. This game made me feel more unsettled than many modern horror games out there.
