no offense to the developer. you made a culturally relevant runner with a degree of quality. I appreciate that when you alt tab the game it will stop rendering frames while I'm waiting to write the negative review FOR the ultimate crime of writing the entirety of your store presence in english and then only support kazakh and russian in game languages. what is the point of this moronic practice. I see it all the time. I get that english is a universal language, so why stop at supporting it in the game? why not write the store presence in kazakh or russian? why not include all available languages in the store description and even title like a lot of other better developers practice? this stuff pisses me off to no end and I can only hope 0 russian or kazakh people find your game and if they do they see its entirely in english being described to them and then bounce off it before realizing the entire game is actually in their mother tongue. hopefully there is some other language version of the page that presents itself when detected that your region or set language is not that of english or an english region. otherwise congrats on f'ing yourself before I could even call for it. russi…

Kazakhstan taxpayers has spent almost $500 000 on development of this game. In my personal opinion this game development would worth from $3000 to $10 000 at very most. It was supposed to be RPG but it is just simple runner. There is decent looking intro trailer. But it is just AI generated. As AI-generated capsule art. In-game graphics is plain, mobile-like and has no much cohesion or art-direction. Controls feel ok but not amazing. When you pick up right letter, next one does not appear for 2-4 rows of letters. And it can clearly seen that its not due to game design but developer being too lazy to regenerate letters after pick up. Those 2-4 rows consistently have previous letter which player just picked up. It worsens game feel and slows down progress for no reason. There is bug when new opened words don't appear in dictionary right away. There is obvious cheater in top of leaderboard and nothing is being done about it. Sound effects are very basic and cheap and some of them literally hurt - sfx files volume was not adjusted. Music is AI-generated and very basic. It has no ethnic motives or Kazakh instrument playing as you would expect from such game. Not supporting Engl…

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.
