Death Noodle Delivery

Terrible gameplay. Take paperboy but force the controls to always drift a bit to the right, then tell the player that they're ♥♥♥♥ for not being good at it. That's the game. Forget the fun visuals and the cyberpunk atmosphere. This could have been an atmospheric 2d game about dealing with a society that wants you to drop off Uber Eats right before it kills you but it's ruined by one of the worst minigames I've ever played. I've just about beaten it all after 90 minutes and I'm refunding it rather than put in any more time to finish it

Death Noodle Delivery, developed by Stupidi Pixel and Tiny Pixel and published by Troglobytes Games, is an eccentric yet thought-provoking blend of arcade action and dystopian storytelling. At first glance, it looks like a stylish, neon-drenched delivery simulator, but beneath the fluorescent surface lies a biting commentary on modern life, late capitalism, and the suffocating repetition of existence. The player steps into the role of a weary courier in a crumbling cyberpunk city, tasked with delivering noodles on a hoverboard for a faceless corporation that treats human beings as expendable assets. It’s a premise that feels both absurd and disturbingly familiar, combining the humor and energy of a retro arcade game with the bleak introspection of a dystopian narrative. The gameplay is deceptively simple. You zip through traffic, dodge drones, and make rapid deliveries while your shift clock ticks down, all while trying to avoid being flattened by the chaos around you. The mechanics recall the frantic energy of old-school titles like *Paperboy* or *Crazy Taxi*, but Death Noodle Delivery filters that arcade sensibility through a cyberpunk lens. Every ride is fast, kinetic, and dren…

Sono rimasto AFFASCINATO dai dialoghi di questo gioco, sono GENIALI, unica cosa, spero di vedere in futuro un gioco sempre con questo stile cyberpunk ma in 3D, se fosse in 3D sarebbe uno dei best buy di steam, tutto sommato ci sta!

I hate this game. It's like an abusive ex you just can't stop going back to. The game is borderline impossible. Enemies everywhere throwing bombs, rushing up at you, appearing in front of you, flamethrowers, drones, the environment itself gets in the way and there's crap everywhere in front of the screen, and all the while you've got to have mathematical pinpoint accuracy throwing food at random targets. This game hates me as much as I hate it. It is so impossibly difficult that eventually you feel like a speedrunner on your 2,000th try starting over, you think you know where every flamethrower guy is, where every foot soldier rushes you from, where every drone is about to throw bombs, where every vehicle is about to fly out at you, and you get 0.01% farther only to realize you're now in the unexplored and you die. Wash this process, rinse this process, repeat this process. Why the positive review? Well, every other aspect of the game is very enjoyable! It's humorous and cool looking, it's just the main gameplay itself that hates you as much as you hate it.

Like Paperboy but worse.
