this game is awesome!!!!
very fun combat and platforming, good music and visuals, the whole works.
figuring out the achieventments like no backflip and <10 bash were sooo fun too

i played zuma on my grandpas laptop when i was like 8
super classic so good

i think this game was worth my time
but i think this game expects way too much out of the player once you start trying to get "true ending" or whatever you may call it
the heart is ridiculous, and maybe i just had bad luck losing to it by 1 hp twice, but it's so overtuned for a casual player like me that it sucked the fun out of trying to beat it.
more fun deckbuilding roguelikes exist for me

EXCELLENT gunplay, and super cool combo of genres!!

it's a fun minigolf game to play with friends
also runs a lot better than it used to!

be warned, the game simply wouldn't run for one of my friends, and there was seemingly no solution.

I think this is a really really really good puzzle game, and I did everything in it, but I can't in good faith recommend it.
I'm not going to give a game that I found really fun a pass on completely skipping accessibility options.

The review if this game had accessibility options:

I love the puzzles, the rule discovery and the world. The interaction between the constantly evolving grid rules and the environment is amazing, the two end areas were a ton of fun (besides the dumb flashing color screens). I can't describe how high the highs of this game are. The challenge was one of the most fun things in a puzzle game I've played.

Like all puzzle games, it has stinkers. Puzzles that either suck, or just didn't click with me. Color theory land sucks (how does magenta + magenta = white?). The ship vault was one of the most overdesigned puzzles I've ever seen, and ridiculous logical leaps have to be made. The way to access the entire secret area is just cruel, especially considering how obvious it is that the area exists, and considering how you can't know that some environmental puzzles and the 4th paper are there.

I don't agree with the people that say this game has too many puzzles, that the grid puzzles all feel the same and get old, that it's just trying to waste your time, or that it's pretentious (I don't even understand what half the crap means and I don't care). But, I will respect that games don't click with everybody, players can miss one thing and be confused the whole time, sometimes players have less patience or less experience with certain types of games.

I almost completely enjoyed my time with this game, and even that GDC talk made me smile (and the you know what with it - i hated its existence, but it's kinda funny i guess).

The reason for the negative review:

But again, I will not respect a game that does not make itself accessible to as many players as it can. Colorblind options and options for those that are deaf or hard of hearing (or just not making puzzles based on those things)? An epilepsy warning? Controller support? Audio options? I don't understand how this was published without these things.

one of the best deckbuilders out there, one of those big number go up games

very complex very cool

funny
