gourds up is a really good game for replayability and content, the music and gameplay are smooth and i found it quite fun to play3 found this helpful
Gourds Up, developed and published by Bagel Bits Bakery, is a compact roguelike twin-stick shooter that mixes fast-paced combat with light strategic decision-making, all wrapped in a quirky, vegetable-themed aesthetic. It doesn’t aim to redefine the genre, but instead focuses on delivering a streamlined experience built around short runs, randomized progression, and experimentation with different builds. From the outset, the game establishes a playful tone, placing you in control of Cinnamon the Pumpkin and other unlockable characters as you fight through waves of enemies in a structure that blends action with simple but meaningful choices. The core loop is driven by a card-based progression system that determines the sequence of encounters you face. Instead of moving through a fixed set of levels, you select from a range of room options, each representing a different challenge. This adds a layer of strategy to the experience, as players must decide which paths to take based on their current resources, health, and confidence. The system introduces a sense of control within the randomness typical of roguelikes, encouraging players to think ahead rather than simply react to whatever…1 found this helpful
If I must give you one single piece of advice, it would be to never overestimate the length of the dash ;-;1 found this helpful
+Decent audio +Some player choice -Super messy visuals; hinders gameplay -Floaty physics -Gamepad isn't ideal for playing, but you cannot change to mouse midrun =Neutral review, but since I wouldn't recommend such to myself, I wouldn't do it to you either.
