✦ AI summary

Cranky Cat is a bubble shooter with steampunk aesthetics that has retained a dedicated following over 15 years, though players have mixed feelings about its execution. The game can become addictive, particularly in modes like Hot Potato and Survival, but some find the core mechanics clunky and overly complicated for the genre, with occasional technical issues like audio glitches. Most players view it as a budget title worth experiencing if interested in the genre, though opinions vary on whether it justifies even a small purchase.

It's alright for a bubble shooter, but I feel it's almost overly complicated. While the game mechanic itself is easy, it's also a little clunky (which I guess kind of suits for a steampunk type game?). All in all not as fun as I thought it would be, and I'm glad I didn't waste much on it. The graphics are ok, but the game itself ... eh -shrug-

Interesting game I never played before. Some of the levels does require you to use the mouse and keyboard at the sametime for faster turning, sometimes the music may glitch out and play when you have it muted, and the way the bubbles are placed may not be what you expected, but can get addicting, especially the Hot Potato and Survival modes (although the difficulty does increase rather quick for those two). The game's story is okay, the pictures are humerous on their own, but it's there to have some context for the game nothing else. The music is okay, but can get rather annoying when it's constant fading, silence, then a new track. Reminds me a lot of Dumbo circus music in a way for some... ----- Check out more games I see that deserve more attention from my curator group: [url=http://steamcommunity.com/groups/BPUGL]BluePaw's Underrated Games List[/url] Join and/or follow if you wish.

This is one of the greatest games in the universe. I hope they will send it by a radio signal to the space. I've bought it just to check if my credit card was working properly. I like goat cheese.

Nice. Better than Boros and far better than the dreadful Raycatcher.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
