I wouldn't call this a game. Is just an irritating experience that claims to be a "joke" and a "critique" to show how bad the game industry is.
Truth is, is just a stupid and lazy attempt to do so. Absolute waste of time.
The restart doesn't do anything - just loads your savedata - which if you somehow have 3hp - good luck....

A great FPS and parody to modern game development.
Has a nice artstyle and despite parodying many annoying elements, it's actually fun to play!

5/10, barely a thumbs up. Skewers every 2018 gaming trend by implementing each one, badly. This reminds me of a SNL skit: 10 minutes of humorous ideas drawn out to over 2 hours of often frustrating gameplay that beat those ideas to absolute death. I did LOL once, but mostly it's mild (and occasional) chuckling under my breath, and thus it needs to be a decent game in addition to the humorous points they are trying to make. If it were easier to enjoy casually that might make up for it, but the game seriously limits ammo, turning what should be a fun little jaunt into a lot of running away while you pump enemies full of your weakest ammo. Seriously, 75% of this game is running backwards while you hold down the shoot button.
Also, bad controls. Wants to be KB + mouse only, but each WASD tap makes you take a mediumly sized step no matter how short the tap is. Although it doesn't support joysticks, as it turns out it has residual gamepad support left in that allows proper fine-grained movement with the left stick (no looking tho). A few clicks in Steam Input and you can enable mouse = right joystick and the game becomes playable. What a chore. Is that supposed to be part of the humor? or has humor become an excuse for laziness?
Why am I giving this a thumbs up, again? Oh right, because there's no MEH option. This game is 100% meh. get it if you really like SNL skits tho ;-)

A short and sweet little project some people made! The combat is not great and doesn't get better with damage upgrade's, but 2 to 3 hours of you're time, just keep in mind a couple of peeps had fun and you'll enjoy this a little more!

"This game is very intentionally wasting my time" -- someone on youtube long time ago
The game claims to be ironizing on the modern game trends, but in fact, it just concentrates everything bad in videogames of our age and calls this entertainment. The gameplay is simple and boring, I'd even say not challenging at all. The game does not attempt to mock any of it's mechanics, it just dumps it on the player, prolonging the game. At the very last levels, maybe, it makes a few O.K. attempts, but those two certainly don't make up for every other boring level. Levels, by the way, are small and, again, boring. Each is dedicated to a certain ill videogame trend, but, again, it's not used for humour reasons, it's just... there, for you to endure. I got all the acheivements pretty much in one run, 76 minutes, which is really short even for a game this cheap. Gladly, I can still refund this, probably the first time when it's not about the money, I just don't want to see this game in my library.
No offense, but I think this is just a bad joke, I would not recommend paying for it.

A few changes need to be made...before I can recommend people buying this game:
1. Autosaves are to few an between, you should have an autosave once every 3 to 5 minutes or imput a self-save feature, a svae after every quest is kinda lame if you go off and do a bunch of things of find new loot if you die you're stuck with loading previous save or restarting level. Dying gets old fast.
2. Monsters need to drop HP Globes more frequently, they should also drop small amounts of EXP maybe 10-15 per kill and money.
I waste all of my money on premium loot boxes, since they give 300-600 EXP, the green ones aren't to good.

A fun and quirky game that's very tongue in cheek. Well worth the price and definitely recommend the Stately Snail Bundle.
You won't be disappointed.
Just be warned this is a short game with little replay value.

A decent enough shooter picking jokes at microtransactions. It's not anything amazing and can be a bit frustrating towards the end if you don't conserve ammo well or get the luckiest of lootboxes. Not bad for the $4 usd launch price, but not great. I'm on the fence but honestly lean more toward a negative review for this one. The content is sometimes humorous but at times just comes off as stale and monotonous. I found myself running around grinding for boxes just to make sure i had enough ammo to progress. Maybe that's the point. I would honestly only recommend picking this up during a sale if you are on the fence about it.

Fun little game (took around 2 hours) with an interesting concept which worth its money.
The 4th level was a bit difficult for me, but the level with bugs turned out just fine :)
And pass without donating also was challenging
7.5 turning on/off waterfalls/10 :)
