Pressured Reviews

I love numbers and to train my brain and this game is perfect for those purposes; increase your stress immunity, become better at math (or summing numbers), increase your reaction time/alertness and maybe your creativity (in getting the target sum)? There's also some sort of story related to 14 unlockables, each with a requirement. F.e. you have to unlock 'Normal' mode to unlock a part of a story or gain a certain score = motivating :) This really makes the game and for its current price, only €0,74, I'm thinking of just storing some copies in my library...really!

This game is interesting in a puzzle sense, but it is not remotely aesthetically pleasing or even polished. A better version of this game could be programmed in your browser, look better, and not cost any money. You click cards to total to a predefined sum, gaining points by reaching that sum and not going over. It is not uncommon, however, for the game simply to not give you that card you need to reach the sum. For example, if the sum is 10, and you currently have 9 points, there will be no 1-point cards. It's a neat concept for a game, but you're better off buying pretty much any other puzzle game. If you're going to spend money on a Steam puzzler, get one with decent graphics that doesn't look like it was made in some high school intro-to-programming class.

An interesting game with an interesting concept.. Trying to keep a track of score while number fields shift about. I wouldn't be as negative as some people here have been. Sure, the UI could do with a bit of attention, but if you're just here to play the maths game, it's okay. The game itself is highly repetitive, and like most score-chasers, the aim of the game is just to stay "alive" as long as you can before you inevitably fail. It does feel interesting doing maths in your head as a game, and playing it does have a sense of purity. However, it's a "five minute" score chaser game that you'll fire up when you're bored and just want to do something different. If I could give it a "meh", then I would. It's not bad, but it's not great. It does what it sets out to, nothing more, nothing less. It's basically minesweeper with a maths element.

For this price, I cannot complain much when the idea of the game has been satisfactorily presented. And this game is fine. The font is a bit odd as well as the theme color. but it's still tolerable. One flaw concerning the gameplay is that when you add up to just 1 less than the target with your sum (e.g. target is 45, you have already 44), there is nearly NO number 1 appearing (I have to say 'nearly' coz I've not been playing long). As the clock ticking, considering the fact that redoing the whole adding up would cause even more time, I normally decide to wait. And the 1 NEVER shows up!

This is one of the most frustrating puzzle games I have ever played. The numbers you need to select to sum up to reach a given amount move so fast that, even on easy, you'll find some hell of a challenge. For 90% off, it was not a big deal, as the game has cards that, once sold, pratically paid the game. I had to turn off the in-game music after a couple of seconds (very annoying), and got tired of it fast, so I uninstalled it after getting the 3 cards. Buy only if you want a real challenge, don't mind the lack of polish, and don't expect a lot.

It doesn't lie about what the game is about, but I wouldn't recommend it at all. You essentially click the numbers and add them up to another number within a time limit. I'd rather play with a calculater.

The premise of Pressured is simple but relatively hard to master. In each level, you are assigned a target number. Your goal is to click on numbers that add up to that target number before the pressure meter fills up. As you click on numbers, your current sum is shown on the top of the screen so that you can keep track of how far off from the target number you are. On the bottom of the screen, you'll be advised as to how many times you need to reach your target number before advancing to the next level. Each time you successful reach the target, some pressure is relieved, in essence, adding more time to complete the level. Easy peasy, right? NOPE! The grid where the numbers are located is constantly shifting. Numbers flash on the screen for no more than a second before new numbers appear, bombs randomly appear (resetting your sum to 0) , and a "2X" symbol occasionally pops up (doubling your current sum). Points are earned for each correct target hit and points are lost for hitting bombs or going over the target number. You will need to stay sharp or you will fall to the pressure! It's insanely addicting and an intruiging game. The game is meant to a quick burst of action but you will find yourself trying to best your score after every game. And for under $3 USD, you can't go wrong!

Pressured is a "game" that you will see in your nightmares. One of the worst logic games i've ever played. The music is annoying, the fullscreen resolution is horrible and the meat of the game - its 'puzzles' are meant to be played by a five-year-old, but not by a grown-up. I felt despair and anger when i tried to click those numbers to make a certain sum, because on hard levels it becomes a simple button mashing without any sense. Do not ever buy this thing, even for steam cards

I was hoping for a math-related puzzle game. I got an extremely fast-paced arithmetic exercise that would not have been out of place in my second-grade math class. While I suppose this does technically fit the above criteria, it was certainly not what I was looking for.

Game sucks. Bad music. Bad choice of lettering and poorly filled in letters and numbers to boot. Crappy background. Plot is unintelligable at the start and good luck getting to any more of it. So the over all feel of the game is. Anoyed by music, squinting at numbers you can't quite see; all while the game quickly pressures you out of time. It's the opposite of fun.
