Honestly, it's hard to pick as to whether or not I should recommend this game. On one end it's an endearing game where you can gather resources to work towards building a cozy little town and unlocking new areas to explore. Yet on the other end the scaling in the game is rather poor; leading towards an increasingly more miserable grind that becomes somewhat noticeable around halfway through the game. At first you don't mind repeating some tasks as they net your more cash or you need to stockpile something for a later project yet as time goes on you realise you're doing almost the same actions you've been doing since the beginning and you're chopping down a tree not because you need the logs yet because you're trying to complete an arbitrary number of trees chopped to tick off a box. With as grind this repetitive it's no wonder less than 10% of people that bought this game actually reached the final area.

It's honestly sad that the game has been left in this state with a high likelihood of it never being properly balanced. The early-game is a real treat and shows what could have been done with the game if proper care was taken throughout it's development. I would say the game is only really worth it if you find it on a 50%+ sale and are okay with potentially dropping the game part way through to spare yourself from the grind.

It's alright. Can't complain as it's free yet I've even after tweaking the settings I find it either doesn't react to the music enough or it reacts way too much depending on which visualiser you use. There's also an audio-video desync which kinda kills the mood.

It's a meme game. That's about it. Outside of 5 minutes of "Oh lol look at that Hitler flying across then screen!" it's god-awful on a mechanical level. Pieces can fall off the screen, there's no kicks, no next piece, no DAS, ect. After beating every level I can definitely say I would not play again.

Backed this game back in 2014 and I adored the alpha build of this game. Now it's 2017 and the game is complete, I'm back again to play through the whole thing and it's just as great as I remember. It's a cute, fun 3D collectathon platformer with great mechanics and a ton of charm. Would highly recommend to anyone who is a fan of platformers.

An amazingly fun game that has modes and characters for all levels of skill. You can play as a passive girl who stuns enemies and avoids bosses all the way up to a devil that gets a game over for something as simple as skipping a beat or picking up gold. Normally I'm not a major fan of true rouge-like games but this game simplifies it to the point where playing to ther beat feels so good. The soundtracks are pretty nice, too.

Early Access Review
Ever thought how quickly you could go in a 2D platformer? Ever tried to do it against 3 other people either online or local? To put it simply this game is a 4-player 2D Mario Kart except there are no blue shells, every item can be avoided or blocked and only the quickest, riskiest routes will give you victory. Oh and if you fall too far behind or take a risk at the wrong time, you die. Last man standing wins. With a nice ranking system to flaunt your skill even the most skilled of players can have fun with this game.

How good are your platforming skills? This game will definitely test even the most skilled of players. Characters with their own traits and gimmicks to unlokck, fun little warp zones to find and conquer, too. Anyone who enjoys a challenge will have their hands tightly clenched to their controller yelling obscene word after obscene word as they struggle through each level, then watching all of their attempts come together in one big death-filled run of gruesome glory. Oh, but you just beat the story? How about hitting the par times and the dark world as well to push your patience and skills to the absolute limits? Fun will be had with this game. A lot of fun indeed.

A surprisingly great 3D first-person narrative game with multiple endings and many laughs to be had. There isn't anything like action and the game isn't exactly challenging but I had a ton of fun with it and would definitely recommend it.

A very nice modern take on the original PAC-MAN game. Much faster paced and more focused on times and eating ghosts. Not much I can say really other than the fact that I had a blast with it.

Fun fact: This is actually the only sequel Toru Iwatani (The lead developer of the original PAC-MAN game) has (and possibly will have ever due to him retiring) designed.

Just because there are only a few buttons doesn't mean it can's be extremely fun and this game proves that pretty damn well. You'll only need two buttons to play the game; One to punch left and one to punch right. Sounds easy and boring, right? You'd be more wrong than ever. The game is based off of old kung-fu movies and those sitck figure flash animations that used to be around everywhere in the mid 00's. The game also tries to tone it's difficulty to how well you play too so no skill level is left out. With many unlockable abilities and a survival mode (with it's two other crippling modifiers) the game will keep you entertained and feeling like a badass for hours on end.
