  • music
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is fast-paced and thematically appropriate, but it suffers from a lack of variety, featuring only one song that can become repetitive during extended play. While some players appreciate the creepy atmosphere it creates, others find it annoying and suggest the option to mute it or play their own music. Overall, the soundtrack is seen as a significant flaw, detracting from the overall experience.

    • “Music is fast-paced and fits the theme of the game perfectly.”
    • “The song is creepy, has a nice progression, and fits the aesthetic; however, only having one song means that extended play sessions can be the equivalent of psychological warfare.”
    • “Music that just fits perfectly and isn’t too repetitive (you can mute it and put on your own music in a media player in the background if it annoys you).”
    • “The idea of collecting and changing heads that are, in fact, different perks is the main feature of the game, while the main flaw is the soundtrack consisting of dynamic and fitting music but only one theme, which is a bit annoying.”
    • “While the sound effects are certainly decent (I especially like the gross, sloppy slapping that wall-jumping makes), I found that the music consisted of only one song.”
    • “One thing the game could do with is better sound effects and music.”
  • graphics
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “Amazing Super Meat Boy style graphics, which always look stunning.”
    • “The graphics are pretty decent.”

    • “Graphics - 5/10”
  • replayability
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players highlight the strong replayability of the game, driven by competitive elements such as beating friends' scores, global leaderboards, and achievement hunting. This aspect is considered the game's strongest feature, earning a solid 8/10 rating for replayability.

    • “Lots of replayability; beating friends, global or even your own high scores and getting achievements makes this endlessly replayable.”
    • “This, combined with a global high-score table, makes replayability Abomination Tower’s strongest aspect.”
    • “Replayability: 8/10”
    • “This, combined with a global high-score table, makes the replayability of Abomination Tower its strongest aspect.”
    • “The lack of diverse gameplay options really limits the replayability; once you've played through it, there's little incentive to return.”
    • “While the game is fun initially, the repetitive mechanics quickly diminish its replayability.”
  • story
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is criticized for being underdeveloped, with a promising premise that fails to deliver a satisfying conclusion or engaging narrative progression. Players feel that the lack of meaningful events, such as boss fights or cinematic moments, detracts from the overall experience, leaving them unsatisfied with the storytelling.

    • “The story is lacking; the failed science experiment is a good start, but the ending could have been better and had a cinematic. I don't see the point in climbing up the tower only to jump off and die.”
    • “There is not really a story besides the opening scene of a scientist dumping a corpse in the trash.”
    • “Perhaps the story is resolved at some point, but I painstakingly worked my way up to level six without so much as a boss fight.”
  • gameplay
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is reminiscent of the popular game "Super Meat Boy," but it emphasizes vertical traversal over horizontal movement, offering a unique twist on the platforming experience.

    • “The gameplay is quite similar to a certain popular game, but the levels focus on traveling vertically rather than horizontally.”
  • atmosphere
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere of the game is reminiscent of "The Binding of Isaac," blending elements of tragedy, vulgarity, and dark humor to create a unique and compelling experience. This juxtaposition of despair and absurdity contributes to a distinctive visual style that enhances the overall mood.

    • “The visual style and the general atmosphere are reminiscent of 'The Binding of Isaac,' where tragedy meets vulgarity, humor, and desperation.”
  • humor
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game successfully incorporates a strong sense of humor, which is particularly impressive given its dark theme, providing a unique contrast that enhances the overall experience.

    • “Oh yeah, it has a great sense of humor too, which is a remarkable accomplishment for a game with such a dark theme.”
