Deflect Boy Reviews

Nice mechanic and deflecting feel goods, some upgrades still need some gameplay changing stuff soon or it can be stagnant soon, but the potential is definitely there, looking forward for more updates !

So juicy and satisfying! It feels good when playing this game, especially with all the effects. Love the retro visuals as well. One thing that's really good is the auto-aim when we deflect the ball. It makes us focus on deflecting the ball.

Nice bite size game. It's a roguelike, arcade game where you will choose an upgrade after finishing each level. It has only 15 levels, so it's pretty short if you finish it in one go. The effects is pretty juicy and satisfying to watch. The level of polish is really good :D. It's kinda addictive, but unfortunately it finish pretty early before we get to really OP with all the boons.

SO SATISFYING, point blank deflect is kinda cheating, but who cares, as long as u can blow up some triangles!

Simple, cheap, easy fun. Picked up and played for a couple of runs cause I was bored. But for the love of god please fix the SFX slider

This is a really fun game, and I think the price is fair! The feedback of bouncing bullets back is satisfying, and the music is catchy. The core gameplay loop is solid overall. I do have some (extremely minor) critiques. The enemies would often be pushed out of screen but deflected bullets disappear off screen so you'd have no way to fight back at that point. Also upgrades can appear between stages that are already maxed out, but the game doesn't tell you that. I grabbed maybe 5 or 6 max damage upgrades before realizing it stopped doing anything after the 3rd one. I'd prefer if they stopped showing up altogether, but even if there was just something that said maxed out, or it being grayed out or something would be nice. Like I said though these are minor critiques, the game is cute, fun, and I'm definitely glad I grabbed it.

A pretty short game like finish completely in a half hour sitting kind of short. The game is fun in the sense that just having a shield and playing defensively is a novel concept. The game needs to either have an infinite mode or do something to shake things up a little bit but how much can you really ask for with a game this low in cost running $2 at full price. Games like this remind me of how much was loss with the death of flash game websites because it would have been right at home in those spaces.

Other guys have noted that when enemies are off-screen you can't hit them. The thing is, if they are there for too long or if they're stuck I'm not sure, they are moved back on the screen, and you get hit by their body if you're in the way. It should be better if you or the enemies can come out from the opposite side of whichever border they go into, would be more challenging as well

this game simply has not enough content for the price, in 25min you have round trough the entire game and that was it. no metaprogression, difficulty increase, anything. the problem is i have seen demo's with more replay value then this game and it's a real shame for the idea is solid but the execution is severly lacking.

One of the easiest, and also the most boring, games I have ever played. Stand in front of bullets, have mouse pointer vaguely towards enemies, wait, win. The game is literally just waiting for enemies to shoot so they kill themselves. The amount of bullets on screen did not present me with a challenge. I never came close to dying. Every level is the same. Sometimes enemies start or go off screen, making it harder to hit them. The biggest enemy is the wave counter, because this stretches levels on artificially long.
