So far the gameplay is polished, the puzzles are smooth sailing with a few challenges, the graphics are good, the voice acting is... mercifully limited to the intro cinematic, the controls are serviceable, and the characters are cute.

But the music. The music. The music is fantastic. And by that I don't mean that the game happens to have some nice MP3s playing in the background. The music IS the game. It's like everything on screen contributes to the symphony, making it unique after every level. This game raises the bar for sound design, and because (a) the music and sound design are great, and (b) the sound design is so tightly wound with the game itself, that results in (c) the whole game being lifted to greatness. Conducting a solved puzzle in Tempopo is a downright joyful experience, I cannot recommend it enough.

This game has a "privacy" tab in the settings. It informs you that data collection is ON by default. Including data about your PC and what's on it.

There is no option in-game to turn it off.

There is a link that is supposed to open a browser window where you can supposedly review and opt-out of the data collection. The link does not work, even when I disable my browser's pop-up blocker function. Nothing happens when you click it.

I'm enjoying the game so far, and the dev seems attentive at addressing bugs, so I supported him on Ko-fi.

I bought this because I wanted to play women's soccer, this game prominently features a woman on the cover, and I want to support games that have gender representation.

It turns out that in this game, all the teams, in all the tournaments and all the cups, are all men's teams. All the national teams, all the city clubs, every last one.

So if you want to play women's soccer, it looks like you have to go through and manually create eleven new avatars for every team, one by one. Even then, this game does not include several nations traditionally strong in women's soccer, including Canada, Australia, and the United States (!!!).

I don't understand. The developer already did the hard part of creating a bunch of character models and assets for women. Why not include at least a couple women's teams?

I found out the hard way that it does not support controller navigation. Awful experience, refunded.

Crestfallen, I was really looking forward to playing.

This game forces you to externally back up and load program files if you want to actually save your progress.

This game overwrites your save file when you die.

I have no idea what a Hololive is, but even so this is arguably the best survivorlike on Steam. Awesome that it's freeware, major kudos to the developer for sharing this project with everyone.

This game is now available on mobile, except that version has a ton of in-app purchases for gems. The developer says that this is fine because "the game balance is exactly the same" for both versions.

I bought this game ages ago because I wanted to support quality incrementals with no IAPs. And here all this time I thought the awful, excruciatingly slow pacing was because this is a new developer still figuring out the design.

An evolution of Nuclear Throne and Enter the Gungeon, eclipsing both as the best game in the genre.
