I was really looking forward to this one. I'm a huge fan of the anomaly genre and adding a driving element seemed like such a cool idea. But, here I am, 7 minutes later, and I've already beaten it.

it's too easy and most of the anomalies are boring

This game is bugged. There are 2 achievements that don't unlock even after the developer said that they updated the game to make them functional. There hasn't been an update in nearly 2 years, so it probably won't ever be truly fixed. The game itself is okay as a concept and there are funny moments, but a game that's this broken shouldn't cost money. I can't recommend this at all until it actually gets fixed.

I got this on sale, but having finished it, would have happily paid full price. I'm actually considering waiting for it to go OFF sale and buy it for a few friends, to be honest! My wife, daughter, and I all really enjoy playing Anomaly Games. This one, especially for the price, was incredibly enjoyable for all of us. Really fun and interesting Anomalies (some obvious, some minor), the ability to replay through any Anomaly you've beat (to show off to a friend or re-live it), and a multi-tiered ending (you need to go through the loops multiple times to unlock the full story--if you can call it a 'story'). The translations are pretty bad, the voice-over is certainly no exception, but it is all quite understandable and actually quite charming in its own way. There is definitely some jank, but the only one that is really frustrating is when you reverse the vehicle (or hit into something) and it locks the car into a vertical angle, making you suppose that, "my tilted car is the anomaly." Note, IT IS NOT. Other than that, this has no more or less jank than other indie titles and the ones it has, certainly aren't game-breaking in any way. The 3 of us unanimously agree: Having played Ex…

Fun enough, my wife and i enjoyed it. which is on its own a plus, aside from that, i was on edge enough to make it feel fun. anomalies weren't too hard to spot, some translating issues, from korean? i'm guessing. didn't last me too long, but then it was a pound when i bought it, so .....can't complain. would play more from this developer in the future. getting all anomalies took me just over an hour, because i got stuck on one anomaly where you press spacebar rapidly. if i was scoring it, i'd give it a 3/5 for what it was, in its genre.

Fairly easy anomaly game compared to some I've played. Still decently entertaining to get all the different anomaly's. Made a great game to play on stream.
