Hello Pollution!

I got this game apart of a yogscast jingle jam bundle. It is fine. Is it worth $5? No. It is more like a coolmathgames game or a free game on itch.io you'd play for 5 minutes and get bored. Don't buy.

Honestly, I don't think it's worth $5. It's worth wasting a few minutes for free, but it's a bit boring and very touchy.

An entertaining little puzzle game, but it gets too long and repetitive. I experienced a visual bug which would make the game switch between fullscreen and windowed between levels and I had no way to change it except by going to the menu and restarting the level to swap whether I was in full or half screen (which would cut off part of the game so hopefully you didn't get any items stuck outside the window!).

Hello Pollution is a casual simulation with an interesting environmental theme that’s easy to pick up and play, but it never really sticks with you after the session ends. The mechanics are straightforward and it can be mildly enjoyable in short bursts, but there’s nothing particularly memorable or standout about the gameplay loop or presentation. It scratches that idle/simulation itch briefly, yet it doesn’t innovate or deepen enough to make a strong case for paying full price. If you’re curious and it’s very cheap or free, it’s worth a quick try — otherwise, I wouldn’t recommend picking it up at regular price.

Glitchy, super short. maybe 45 min for run

If this is the developer's first game, then I'd say it's not bad for a first attempt, but man, is it just not a good game. From the technical side, the game kept moving slightly off-screen randomly when in full screen mode. Sometimes the screen would glitch out during the levels and you couldn't see the whole underground layout, which is a big part of the game. As for the gameplay itself, it was pretty lacking. I had a lot of issues with hit detection where the barrels in the game would seemingly randomly explode when barely touching things, while other times I could bump them around a bit just fine. Sometimes you're just jamming things against each other until everything fits. Another big issue is that, despite the above issues, I didn't fail a single level. The game was just way to easy. It never felt challenging and at most just had some levels that were annoying. The story was decent, but I feel like it would've benefited from the different characters overlapping a bit more. Also the text from the characters really needed to be skippable because I could usually read everything and would be stuck just waiting for the next line of dialogue to appear. All this to say, no I wo…
