-Build your skill against challenging NPC waves.

-Take on the horde, alone or with friends.

-Win exponentially with gun-game, or handicap yourself with reverse-gun-game.

-Pepper-spray a zombie.

"Bad Mineral" is certainly in the running for one of the worst games on Steam, and with over 120,000 games on the platform, that's a major achievement. This is a laughably bad tech demo, a 2D retro/MS-paint single screen PvP platformer shooter that's so bad the developer couldn't even work out how to do online gameplay so it's local only. What a joke. There is, however, a small silver lining, something that will give gamers at least a chuckle... the developer tried to charge money for this. It's true! In terms of visuals, this features really godawful MS-Paint tier "art" instead of real graphics. It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to do the job of creating 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter. What matters is that this looks much worse than most other games because of that decision, and that's a major deterrent to gamers. The deplorably bad visuals here come across as an insult to gamers. Insultingly, the developer insists that you should play this with a console peasant children's toy gamepad instead of KB+M. Developers should try to be aware which platform they're designing games for. …

Prepare to descend into the depths of disappointment with Bad Mineral, a game that fails to unearth any semblance of fun or engagement. From its lackluster gameplay to its uninspired visuals, this title feels like a missed opportunity at every turn. Right from the start, it's clear that Bad Mineral is burdened with fundamental flaws. The gameplay mechanics are clunky and unresponsive, making even the simplest actions feel like a chore. Whether you're navigating the poorly designed levels or attempting to interact with the environment, frustration quickly sets in. Adding insult to injury, the game's presentation is equally underwhelming. Character models lack detail, environments lack variety, and animations are stiff and lifeless. It's as if the developers were content to settle for mediocrity rather than striving for excellence. But perhaps the most egregious sin of Bad Mineral is its lack of originality. From its generic storyline to its predictable gameplay mechanics, there's nothing here that hasn't been done better in countless other titles. It's a shame to see such potential squandered on a game that feels like a pale imitation of its peers. Even the most dedicated player…
