UltraGoodness 2

I'm not charmed by this game, nor am I compelled by the lackluster gameplay. I'm not sure if this is the case, but it FEELS like it was dashed together without a lot of care being put into crafting mechanically-rich gameplay. You just sit there in "time slowdown" mode, then pick off the enemies as they face-rush you. After you beat 99% of a map, you have to traverse the entire thing again to find the one or two foes that are hiding behind trees that you can't see. It is neither challenging nor fun. I grew bored within the first 10 minutes but decided to put another 1/2 hour of play in, just to make sure I wasn't being unfair before I wrote my review. Beat the 1st boss, made it to the 2nd area and it's just more of the same. I just don't like this game, and it's really not fun. The graphics are perfunctory, the maps are too large and boring, the repetitive music is annoying AF after the first couple minutes, nothing makes me want to play again. It seems to be competently made to a degree, but I just can't say to others that they should get this. Even on sale, there's not a lot of fun to be had for the purchase price. I wanted to like it, but I just find it stale and derivative. …

UltraGoodness 2 is basically a lazy cash grab, it's a pointless 2D retro top down shooter slapped together with Construct, the "game construction kit" designed for children... there's no need to do any code in Construct, it's a drag and drop construction kit. And these guys wanted a whopping $5 for it, as if it was a real game. Taking this garbage seriously, it's an incredibly crap top down twin stick shooter with one simple gimmick, time goes a bit slow when you aren't moving... this is basically ripping off the concept of Superhot, only laughably bad. But the humour dries up when you remember these guys are trying to get paid for this garbage, it's their business model. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks. There's no way to ensure this is running at the native resolution of your display. There's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. The game features somewhat lazy, simplistic "retro" looking 2D graphics, of the type you normally expect to see in low effort Flas…

[h1] A Cheap Game and a Great Time [/h1] Would you rather watch than read? Me too. Check out the highlights of the gameplay here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APQeKt2WyqE UltraGoodness 2 is an easy game to take a look at. It's fast-paced, has tight controls and will provide hours of entertainment for a very small cost. It's basically everything that you want in an indie game. Basically you just move around the stages as quickly as possible and shoot everything in your path that moves... and some stuff that doesn't. Collect the coins to upgrade or change your shot type (everything from a double shot, to a shot + rocket to a full o laser) and leave no one standing. In the time that I played it I only had one complaint that kept coming up, and it's fairly minor. I just don't see the need to always have to pick up your coins. It seems like it was added just to force the player to spend more time in each level for no good reason. The coins don't expire or otherwise disappear, so why do we have to run back through and collect them? It's really just a time waster. Lastly I would just recommend that your first upgrade be the shot that explodes enemies. I started having MUCH more fu…

UltraGoodness 2 is a frantic top-down action shooter that embraces chaos, color, and cartoon violence with an unapologetically over-the-top attitude. Developed and published by Rasul Mono, the game follows a simple but exaggerated premise: an embodiment of “Good” battles the forces of “Evil” across demon-infested lands, accompanied at all times by a loyal white cat capable of unleashing its own brand of destruction. There is no attempt at subtlety or elaborate worldbuilding here—the game knows exactly what it wants to be. It delivers fast-paced shooting, waves of enemies, and bite-sized levels designed to keep players engaged without overthinking the experience. Its tongue-in-cheek tone helps define its identity, giving it a personality that leans more toward arcade absurdity than serious storytelling. At its core, the gameplay revolves around twin-stick shooter mechanics supplemented by a time-manipulation twist: time only moves when you move or shoot. In theory, this mechanic should add tactical depth, allowing players to pause mid-chaos and plan their next move. In practice, however, the game’s design encourages near-constant movement, making the time manipulation feel more lik…

Good game that continues the original but with better graphics and design. Sucks that my achievements bugged half ways.

Yes - but only at discount. My time played reflects how long it took to complete the game. It's a top-down "bullet-time" 2d shooter. Not overly complex, you can open it up, play a few levels, and put it down - without needing to remember where you are or what you were doing. Shooters like this are fun if this is your type of game. For a 1-man dev. team, absolutely fine for what it is and if priced lower or on discount. It is definitely a quick hit game, with no real replay value (unless achievement hunting - maybe if you just want to zap things).
