✦ AI summary
Players praise the developer's clear passion and care for the game, highlighting the accessible yet satisfying movement mechanics and the appealing low-poly art style that complements the fast-paced arcade gameplay. The roguelite design with strategy-focused mechanics, customization systems, and automatic targeting that emphasizes decision-making over reflexes resonates well with those seeking something unique and fun to play. Minor complaints mention occasional issues with forest level design and object clipping, but these don't significantly detract from the overall positive reception of an
The developer cares about this game and it shows, a lot of work has gone into it. This is a labour of love. Still trying to get the hang of the movement but it's not as if the buttons themselves are confusing. Dash is bound to jump by default after all! I bounced off Cloudbuilt because it felt like there was way too much to remember but the basics of movement in this game are simple. The low poly art style honestly works in favour of the game so don't let that put you off! Details don't matter when you're flying through the air trying to avoid being murdered by spiders. About the only negative I can give is that some of the forest-type maps are a bit awkward and it's easy to get lost inside objects (you can clip through objects but only for a limited time). Could also use an extended tutorial of sorts, like an obstacle course or something.6 found this helpful
This game has a lot of potential. I actually like the low polygon artstyle. The movement in combat is extremely fun and kind of gives me Saints Row IV vibes. The main aspect that got me in to begin with was the customization system which is significantly better than Cyberpunk 2077's half-baked system.6 found this helpful
Speed, strategy, spiders. Kill spiders, get loot, die, keep loot and start again, become god eventually (i guess whatever).3 found this helpful
TL DR: A Cool Arcade-style pseudo roguelite. That description does do this game an injustice though, the game is unique, in that the only real skill you need is strategy, in a sense that most of the game is kind of automatic, the control you get is how fast it goes. For example: you don't control the aim itself, since it has an automatic targeting system, instead you control how fast you shoot, and what properties it is (e.g. Fire/Ice), the rnge, and also have decoys, time warpers and general boosts to health, score (yeah score is a big part) and damage, both round specific, or semi permanent, in that if you "reset"(sleep), you lose them. This game does require some brain, but for the most part, pretty acessible. In general, extremely fun to play, and fun to watch too, something many can't claim. There are always some nitpicks with it, but they don't deter me, and i guess none of the ppl that play regularly 9/102 found this helpful
Nice and original concept, don't let yourself stop by the graphics and try the demo !2 found this helpful
I'm not any good at this game, but I really enjoy it. I played a couple hours of the demo, and intend to get more into the full game as well.1 found this helpful
