A Vampire Survivors (VS) clone with aliens as enemies.

- Art is on par with games with other games in the genre.
- Developers are responsive to your questions if you ask on their Discord.
- Menus are easy to read.
- Multiple difficulties to try. 0 is the first one and you unlock more by beating each difficulty.
- Achievement menu shows what you unlocked and still need to get.
- Has controller support.

- Only 2 maps right now, but more content is being added later.
- For objectives, the yellow arrow needs to be bigger and easier to see.
- Locking new characters behind specific achievements is not preferred. Add other ways to unlock them.
- Some of the flashing lights emitted from weapons makes it hard to see incoming enemies and if they survived. Maybe, make the enemies stand out more or reduce the weapon lighting.

- No tutorial level, only tips menu.
- The skills are not as intuitive as some other games in the genre. It's not clear what some of the upgrades do such utility, grenade, and gun. This would be improved if they had more details about what a skill/upgrade does.
- The outside currency/shop for getting upgrades is extremely grindy. Amber currency takes multiple runs to accumulate and are farmed by killing eggs.


Conclusion: Overall, a promising Survivors game that could use some polish. Looking forward to playing the game when more content is released.

Auto battler card game that feels like a missed opportunity.

Pros:
- 5 classes to choose from.
- Speed up option.

Cons:
- Progression is slow. Each upgrade costs 1 skill point and you only get 1-2 skill points for a run. Some upgrades cost 2 points and do little to help such as more healing and boost to hiring recruits.
- Hiring recruits is good only if you get it early in the run. If they don't get leveled, they get killed easily since they have low HP. They randomly attack enemies and only the main battler can choose a target to attack.
- Repetitive game play. Same enemies and boss fights for each chapter.
- Moving on the hex map is tedious. Adding a node path like most card games makes sense, but the player is forced to click on empty hex fields to move diagonally up/down.
- Auto Save did not work properly. After re-loading, it shows boss fight was not beaten even when I progressed to next area.
- Third final boss needs to be reduced in difficulty. If you don't kill 750 health character in 1 turn, it spawns copies of itself and you are dead due to a battle of attrition.

This game could have been released in Early access. Its fine for a few runs, but it goes boring quick and does not offer engaging battles.

Fun shooter/2D Platformer game in a techno style.

Pros:
- Upgrades to weapons, damage, and other abilities
- Techno music on different levels
- Auto saves after each part of the level
- Enough healing to get through longer levels/fights
- Some jokes/comedy with the dialogue
- 3 difficulties

Neutral:
- Boss fights- memorize their fight patterns and get good. They do high amounts of damage and the only way to survive is dodge until they there is an opening.

Cons:
- Some levels are too long and it drags
- Later levels, you get swarmed with 5 or more enemies at a time
- Story is not that interesting with time travel theme

Mediocore card game.

If you want to play with waifus, play Genshin Impact.
If you want to play an interesting poker deckbuilder, play Aces and Adventures.

The best aspect of the game is the art.

Cons are below.

- Even with skip dialogue option, I wish there was a turn off dialogue. I don't play a card game to read the story.
- Music/sound effects do not add to the atmosphere of the game. Whirling and magic noises are the common sound effects.
- There is a 3 item limit in fights. You can't equip them for specific fights and can only use them in the order you got the item.
- Fights are similar and get repetitive. Each run feels similar because the enemies are the same and the main difference is the poker cards used to win.
- Only 3 different classes and strategy is limited. Warrior- Get armor and outlast. Rogue Evade and do combos and mage use spells.
- Progression is slow. Each run gets you 1 level or less for experience and you need to defeat 6 maps to reach the final boss.
- Based on the global achievements progress, about 2/5 players beat story scene 1. This game lacks the 1 more run feeling that the more popular deck builders have.

A hidden object game similar to Hidden Folks with London scenes.

Pros:
- Colored art
- Moving to next level is easier than Hidden Folks since many of the people/objects are in buildings
- Realistic sounds of city life
- Each level has a hidden bird and can be found for an extra achievement. No hints for the bird
- You can interact with trees, cars, and other objects

Neutral:
- Specify a city or location if the level is based a on a real location in London. About the game on steam page mentions London places, but the game does not specify city names for each map.
- In order to get 100% achievements, you need to find all objects/people.


Cons:
- Controls could be improved for moving map left to right. I want them to add arrow keys instead of only WASD.
- For levels with dragging items, its not 100% clear where to put the letters/flowers. I suggest adding arrows to the designated area so its more clear.

Overall, I enjoyed this game and liked the colorful art. My favorite map is the prisoner map since it displayed beatiful architecture of London and made you think about where a prisoner would hide. For several maps, I still need to find some people/objects and will revisit to see if more levels are added.

Find cats and people in backgrounds. Buy the game while its on sale.

Pros:
- Variety of backgrounds
- Art is nice and some characters have amusing poses
- Hints unlocked after finding people
- Different music for each level

Neutral/Suggestions:
- Add cat facts/trivia when finding the special cats.

Cons:
- Too short (only 2 hours needed to beat game)
- Normal and Advanced are basically the same level and one has less cats to find

A fun and relaxing puzzle game. On top of that, it is Free!

Provides a good way to test your visual skills to notice a gradual pattern of darker or lighter colors.

- Each level is sorting tiles by color to match the original color scheme.
- You are given 3 hints per level. If the tile is in correct location, a black square is added.
- You can retry level as many times as you want if you fail.
- Pro version of level does not allow hints.
- After completing a level, it tells you many moves used to complete it.

The only thing I wish is they add more hints for harder levels.

A missed opportunity. Mixes farming and Roguelike, but does neither of them well. I tried to enjoy the game, but it was not fun.

Each run can takes about 1 hour. 4 seasons and you need to survive several bosses.

Pros:
- Controller support
- Art is charming
- Each run will be different with bosses/bonuses you get

Cons:
- Progression is slow. You collect your crops, visit a mayor and unlock some currency and can be used to buy 1% upgrades.
- No saving in middle of run. If you exit, all progress is lost.
- Does not feel rewarding/fun to play.
- Locking useful upgrades with roses is somewhat unfair since they randomly drop in spawn points.
- The horse should be permanent. Walking around slowly to get seeds and move around the map is pointless.
- Later rounds, you get swarmed by multiple enemies and turrets/drones barely do damage. Guns cost too many cashews and you are stuck with dodging and shooting to survive.

3/5. Game is repetitive and not fun to retry.

All flash and no substance.

I tried one minigame 3 times- snip magazine and got the same fail even though I tried different combos. It should tell you how to win if you fail twice.

The story is odd. You receive random phone calls and help out an alligator. The ending does not give you a payoff and ends somewhat randomly.

It would be preferred on your second play through, if they just let you play the mini games without going through the story again. The only reason to play it more than once is to play all the mini games and get achievements. If you care about getting achievements, its much easier reading a steam guide or watching a video.

Conclusion:
Jazz music is top notch and each character is unique. If you don't mind a bare bones point and click story wise, check this one out. The detail to the art and music is exceptional, however the story and actual content is lacking.

Goose goose gacha.

Below is a list of reasons why you may not enjoy the game.

Adding level lmits to other modes, so only classic and draft modes are played.
Claw machines are slot machines and you only have 25% to get good cosmetics.
No mic or respond too slow= get kicked from lobby
Players are dumb or did not play tutorial. Have to explain game to them. Why is tutorial not required?

Compared to Among us, there are no visual tasks and some players say a player and give no actual reasons for voting. Since there are many roles, some players have no idea what they do.

Classic queue= 10 year olds screaming or not talking at all.
They make a sex joke and say it was their friend that said it on accident.

If you want to have a good experience, join discord with friends or join a lobby where you know the players.
Among Us mods is just as good as this game.
