Champions of Breakfast Reviews

The game sucks after 2 minutes dont even bother buying it

Boring. I purchased this a while ago, tried it, found it bland, moved on and then forgot I even had it in my library. Before I start ranting let me apologize for any spelling mistakes and the like, I'm not a native speaker and I'm currently dealing with an affectionate dog. I know, what a terrible struggle lol. Anyway, the game is fine but nothing that I think makes it worth it over other games. Graphics wise, it's quite simple, there's nothing bad with it but also nothing outstanding. The UI does get a bit ugly after a while, the background and font makes it look like a generic mobile game. The enemy design isn't interesting either, it's quite literally unanimated drawings of objects. They rotate around, I guess, but that's, again, not interesting. Difficulty wise, I found it fine but due to the lack of creativity in gameplay, it became more of a chore than anything. Talking about gameplay: there's plenty of bullet hell games where the enemies have multiple phases that are distinct to each other making new gameplay elements being more relevant (like having to dodge an unavoidable attack, for instance). This is not the case for this game as far as I've seen. The good thing about this game is that it's cheap, but you are indeed getting what you paid for. As a reference, I'd recommend games like "Just Shapes & Beats", "Enter the Gungeon", "Ikaruga" and "Tiny Rogues" (that one is in early access, though). I think those games take the bullet hell genre and mix it up enough to make them stand out and be interesting. Either way, if you just want to shoot things and unlock achievements, this is fine. I personally think it's an example of a game that technically works. But I don't play games to play them, I play them to have fun and be inspired creativily, be emotionally invested, etc. So from my perspective, I cannot honestly recommend a game (or a piece of entertainment) under the basis of "It's not that bad", especially when you are paying for it. TLDR: The game is not interesting enough for me to want to continue playing it and I'd feel weird recommending it. Thanks for reading that monologue. Have a nice day! :D

I bought this in Dec 2023, played for 10 minutes, didn't have fun, and uninstalled. Not my type of game, and on top of that, the "drm" the developer brags about is stupid which led me to write this review lol.

It's a cheap game but still not worth the price. The game is a top-down twin-stick shooter that isn't particularly challenging or fun. It looks like a flash game you'd have played on Newgrounds or Armor Games in 2009 but without the addictive staying power of many of the classic games on those sites. Spend the extra $7 and buy Ikaruga or spend the extra $2 and buy Vampire Survivors. This game isn't worth playing for more than 15 mins.

I cannot believe they are charging money for this game. I know its only 3$, but I have played flash games more fun and engaging than this dumpster fire of a video game. Its so boring, predictable, and looks atrocious. The way obstacles fly at you is just overly predictable and lazy. I don't know how this is a 'company'. This looks like a video game that a university student would make for an assignment, not a game that you would charge money for on steam. I didn't want to refund this, but I have to on good conscience. Do not buy this game! You are wasting your time, money and effort. Literally, there are a plethora of free games offering infinitely more value than this poor excuse of a 'game'.

Its replay-ability is not great... no updates in years, obviously developer intended this game to have a quick end of life to make money off other games

I'm not going to mention any PirateSoftware's recent drama, but I am writing this review because of it. I haven't played this game in a while, so if I get anything wrong, then it's just my memory. The game isn't horrible, but it isn't worth spending money on. The controls are great, but there's VERY little progression in the game--as far as I can remember, the only real progression is unlocking new kitchen appliances to play as. I get that it's a roguelike, but come on! The game also gets boring after a while, not just because of the lack of progression, but also since none of the bosses nor enemies seem original in the slightest. They're all just different objects with easy-to-dodge attacks. There's also only one song in the game, which plays constantly and gets tiring.

I haven't played this in like months... and just revisited a bit ago. So take this with a grain of salt, perfect for your eggs. Bought this game for full price ~2 years ago (3 dubloons!), and even looking back, it's kinda... not great. It's simple, which isn't bad, but it doesn't do anything that makes it worth your time. It's okay if you like bullet-hell games, I guess? The artstyle is pretty nice, yeah. The OST isn't even a banger though... zero memorable tracks, they're all mid. It's difficult, for me at least. I remember getting tilted (skill issue)... but I attribute that to it being a bullet-hell, my 3rd least favorite genre of game. Genuinely, 3/10. Charming premise, Mid execution, Iffy Ost, and no point to playing except achievements. Not that it changes my score, but I have to add that the creator blatantly lies and spreads misinformation about a (morally correct) cause, all because he didn't fully get it... So that's something to consider. I'd usually say "Seperate the art from the artist!"... But if art is Mid, why bother?

the trailer shows all of the content in the game. it loops roughly 10 minutes worth of gameplay, and it just gets a little faster when you're 30 minutes into a run. i am not grinding through all of those auto-scrollers again to get to the part that is mildly entertaining. the game performs fairly poorly, with high input lag on a 3000$ pc and 500$ monitor. it also crashed on me once. i think the framerate is also capped at 60 the game has a difficult tag, but it's pretty easy, even with all spices on. the hard part is not looking away because you're bored. if you are brand new to the genre, maybe you could enjoy it, but i don't. most of my deaths are because i'm so bored while playing that i'm looking at my other monitor. there's very little content to begin with, and HALF of the content is an auto scroller or a filler wave that you can't take damage on. the game explains nothing to you, and even after repeating the same content for the 10th time, i still don't know what most things do. i tried to have fun with it by speedrunning it, but the game is mostly just an auto scroller so the time difference primarily comes down to rng. if you think high score would be good, well the leaderboards are obviously hacked so who knows what the real records are, and who knows if it's easily cheatable with cheatengine. oh wait, you can just pause buffer so who needs cheat engine is it worth 3$? no. 49 cents? yeah sure, but the lowest it goes is 1.50 so gg. not a scam but not recommended

Even for $3 this is a waste of money. The developer claims to have "20 years in the industry" yet this looks like something a high school student being taught intro to game making would throw together for a final project Dev has been embroiled in multiple controversies, spreads lies and misinformation about Stop Killing Games initiative, and when refuted refuses to apologize or correct his statements. Save your $3 and avoid any other current or future projects from this "dev"
