"The Cup" is an incredibly uninspired 3D rendered 2D top down "roguelike" wave survival shooter where you shoot endless waves of what look a lot like asset flipped enemies. Why? Nobody knows. What do you do in the game? Very poorly implemented procedurally generated wave survival shooting. It's a clunky yawnfest. The game lacks polish, the control handling is incredibly janky, so even if there was any reason to play this, it's not even a pleasant experience. I'm not sure if this is an asset flip, but it's one of those cases where the assets just look much better than the rest of the quality of the game... a glaring inconsistency.  There's no evidence, but as always, the biggest problem with asset flips besides the plagiarism is the deplorably low quality of the other aspects of the game, and even if the game assets are genuinely created for the game, the quality of the rest of the game is indistinguishable from that of asset flips. The developer chose not to do the job of a real game developer and create meaningful bespoke levels, narrative based gameplay progression and so on. Instead, they decided that "Procgen IS content!" and lazily tried to use procgen algorithms to …

Игра 'The Cup' – это настоящий подарок для любителей запутанных головоломок и неожиданных сюжетных поворотов. С первых минут она погружает в атмосферу таинственности, где каждая деталь имеет значение. Визуальное оформление радует глаз своей стилистикой, а музыкальное сопровождение идеально подчеркивает настроение игры, то напряженное, то меланхоличное. Что действительно выделяет 'The Cup', так это глубина загадок. Они не просто сложны, они заставляют думать нестандартно, применять логику и интуицию. Порой решение кажется очевидным, но именно в этой кажущейся простоте и кроется подвох. История развивается плавно, но непредсказуемо, удерживая интерес до самого финала. Каждый пройденный этап вызывает чувство удовлетворения, а каждая разгаданная тайна – азарт. Рекомендую всем, кто ценит качественные интеллектуальные развлечения и готов к настоящему испытанию для своего ума.

This game is literally impossible to play. Want to move? You're already asking too much. Obstacles in the way? Don't worry.....you will get stuck on them because you can only move in one direction and never be able to change direction. How? Why? Try again.

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.
