I got this game from one of those "vote for our game and get a free keys when it's greenlit" events and it has trading cards, so basically I'm paid to play this game and therefor gave it a try. However after playing, judging from a buyer's perspective, $5 is too much to ask for this game. Even at 75% off I'd still steer away.

Why? Because it's really bad. First of all the story doesn't exist and you suddenly got thrown into some crappy maps for no reason. Crappy because if it's an outdoor map, there will be so many holes on the ground that kill you more often than the enemies ( and every time you die you're forced to watch an un-skipable long scene of your character being banged by the enemies before being taken back to level selection menu. A quick restart button is not included ). If it's an indoor map it'll be a straight tunnel or similar, sometimes there are turns that serves no purpose because they're all dead ends without collectibles. Next up is the combat. For a game in which everything is made from cubes including the enemies, you'd expect to see features like crippling your enemies or tearing them block by block, but no. All enemies are solid, no cubes falling apart until they die. Also there's no different in damage dealt to different body parts including the head. Weapons are poorly designed, for example the shotgun's damage stays the same regardless of how far are you from your target ( there's damage spread so that's no slug rounds ).

Overall this is a badly designed game. Kudos for making the game bug-free with colorful environment but it doesn't help with the mood. I went through the 9 short levels of the game without getting any excitement. For anyone who's interested in buying, I suggest waiting for a huge discount or a bundle to get it, for collecting purpose only. There are far better games at $5. I should also think twice before participating in any "vote for free keys" events from now on.

SUger horunge

fun!

As amusing as this game could have been I am afraid it just did not manage to do more than irritate me. No options to change key bindings or even reverse mouse made it a little awkard for me, but the game itself did nothing to win me over. You just wander through fairly linear yet pointless maps killing humanoids I assume are zombies with items I assume are weapons until you get fed up and try to figure out how to quit the game.

Oddly enough quitting was the most challenging part of the game as just as I decided I had enough the game stopped responding and I had to ctrl-alt-del to the task manager.

The only thing I liked about the game was the sound track .... and for the life of me I still don't know why.

Interesting concept but not a game I would play.

Its a good game!

Why?
Why can I bunnyhop and won't stop jumping?
Why is there unlimited ammo?
Why are there pitfalls everywhere?
Why does the game change its pace every level?

Controls are kinda awkward, especially that bunny hopping can easily kill you. And the game needs to decide what it wants to be. Sometimes it's a shooter, sometimes a bad 3d platformer. Level design seems arbitrary to me with obvious misdesigns. Why do I have to get the bat and don't have it from the beginning? Enemy AI is non-existant. Why change the environement in level 6? Why insta-kill lava without warning? Why why why?

I honestly could not stand this game even though I played through the first five levels. Being hard is one thing, being frustrating another. Do not buy this, even for one buck. Sorry.

The soundtrack is good though. And it has cards. I don't care.

Bought for $0.14, sold 4 cards for $0.16.
*Prices have probably changed, buy and attempt to play profit maker at your own risk. Results may vary*

10/10 would play profit maker again.

P.S. Don't buy this game if for anything other than cards


---6-26-15 Real Review(I Guess)---
This game is pretty much= Hold MB1 while aiming at enemies, while also not falling off edges.
Movement is floaty. Music is pretty bad, but I've heard worse. I even kinda like dubstep, but I personally wouldn't really call this music that. Honestly I wouldn't recommend buying this game to play, only to get the cards like I did, I suppose, if that's your thing.

Laziness made me not make a real review after I was Steam messaged by the "dev"(or at least the "dev" of Road Redemption, their profile says they are the publisher of many games on Steam AS well as "100% free games for influential Steam members") offering me a free Steam key for Road Redemption if I wrote a real review, whether good or bad. Free game for just a fair review.

While I understand that devs probably dislike comical reviews like mine that truly doesn't say much about the actual game, I also don't believe in them paying someone who has a popular comical review to write a "real" review.

I guess I'm all for transparency, and I just think paying off reviewers for any kind of review is even worse than my comical review. Feels false, fake. Just my opinion

2/10, Boring.

It's like a mod from minecraft, got it as part of a bundle, but I wouldn't recommend buying it.

The levels are too easy or too hard, and it's not really fun, spent 2 hours on it to finish, but I'll never play it again.

You'd better just go to a flash games website and spend your time there, at least you'll save a few bucks...

Stolen from your home, Dead Bits plops you into a voxel world of deadly testing in a retro inspired circle strafing hell. The rules are simple: grab a gun, kill anything that moves, and try to stay alive amid the hordes running your way and the deadly traps in your path. So what's the catch? Well, pretty much everything after the first level..

Dead Bits is a simple game, which I'm perfectly fine with, but it does so very little with everything that it attempts that it's just plain boring. Enemy AI is entirely nonexistent, running toward you with the fever of a teenage girl who caught a glimpse of her favorite pop idol walking buy. This more or less devolves the game into running backwards while holding down the trigger, having to fear more about falling off the edge of the map than anything the enemies might do. The guns are dull and lack any sense of power or recoil, which makes mowing down waves of bullet sponge enemies even less interesting.

The most egregious thing about Dead Bits however is how bloody frustrating it can be, by way or deliberately inflating the difficulty for no reason but to make you angry. Instant kill obstacles that you're never made aware of abound, making for numerous deaths which feel not at all your own fault, and a complete lack of checkpoints turns the lengthier levels into absolute chores to complete. The extended death animation is particularly annoying, itself taking too long to finish and then proceeding to boot you to the level select screen so you can wait for levels to reload before trying them again. I completed the games brief 9 levels in just under 2 hours, but it only took me that long because I died at least a dozen times for cheap reasons every level.

Though it's rather simplistic, I actually did like the cel-shaded art style developer Microblast was going for with most of the game, though for whatever reason they weren't content to stick with it and instead chose to go with a completely different style for the guns and character models. The end result is a complete mess of conflicting styles and really puts to waste the great foundation they had before they added the odd pseudo realistic elements.

Dead Bits is the sort of game I'd expect to see a student or modder put out as a first step toward something more ambitious and polished. If that were the case it might be a commendable, if heavily flawed, first attempt at making a game, but as a finished retail product there is no way I could advise anyone to pick it up, which is to say nothing of wasting your time and sanity playing it. I feel there was potential here at some point, but in the end it's about as enjoyable as banging your head against a brick wall, and could very well do you just as much harm.
