Excellent FPS with a similarly designed gameplay loop to that of Doom Eternal, but with less arenas and more freeform and breadcrumb-y combat. Beautiful pixel art graphics, imaginative weapon and enemy designs. I don't really have anything bad to say outside perhaps the humor which is bound to be outdated in a few years (but that's just how humor is, really).

As for issues? I think the game does suffer a bit on the level design side. As there are secrets (which some of them are very difficult to find) it can be extremely frustrating to get locked out of an area that might've contained a secret. I'm used to in games like these for the player to have the ability to fully backtrack, or simply warp to the start of the map. I don't mind replaying the levels that much but missing on one secret with otherwise 100% because you can't get it at that point in the level sucks! Not all of the levels suffer from this; in fact, many of the levels are freeroaming enough that you can backtrack just fine, or some are just really well interconnected! So definitely a big thumbs up for those levels.

There are also some points where you can get stuck in terrain because of physics weirdness. Generally gaps that are too tight to fully fit through but you can fit in, a funnel of sorts, which basically puts you into an eternal surf state. It is expected given the elaborate geometry of the levels with the wonky cartoony walls and props, especially given this is a small team, so it's not really a dealbreaker. You can always quicksave if you're scared of such things happening.


Overall: I recommend! Especially if you liked Doom Eternal, as I think the combat can help that itch.

Great minesweeper style logic game with lots of gimmicks, such as hex tiles and different colors. The difference from regular minesweeper is that you never have to guess, hence why it's a logic puzzle game. Everything can be deduced with the information you're given: how many mines are in x color tiles, how many mines are in columns and/or rows, and so on.
It gets quite difficult as you go as it teaches you more complex solving logic.

For 2,35€ it is well worth it for people into minesweeper or logic puzzle games!

P.S. When starting up the game, I recommend checking out the options. I personally found the "Revealed tiles count down" and "Column hints count down" to be highly useful in keeping track of your progress. It might feel and look weird at first and lead to mistakes but I definitely prefer it in the long run.

Great OST.
However, the lack of artist fields and the rather small cover image makes it quite disappointing. For me, it's important that the metadata is accurate and also shows who made what song. If that can be fixed I'd wholeheartedly recommend buying it.

EDIT: After further investigation, it seems that the mastering is extremely screwed up on the OST compared to the game music itself. Here's a comparison from Spek:

If you don't really understand what these spectrograms mean, it means that the sound becomes rather flat and generally lacking any depth in sound, becoming a mess of noise. I really wish whoever mastered this would remaster it so it isn't a muffled mess.
