  • Unique and interesting idle game concept where you gain stats and abilities from enemies, providing satisfying progression.
  • Good for casual play or as an idle background game with a simple yet captivating gameplay loop and some strategic choices.
  • Developer is active and responsive with plans and a roadmap for adding more content and improving the game.
  • Lack of substantial content and depth, with gameplay becoming repetitive after a few hours and limited replayability.
  • Progression system and skill tree feel underdeveloped or broken, reducing motivation to continue after prestiging.
  • UI and art quality could use improvements, and the game lacks variety in achievements and active gameplay elements.

  • gameplay

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    33% positive mentions, 17% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The gameplay is simple, captivating, and features unique mechanics like the absorbers and a skill tree, though the skill tree is considered unusable by some. The gameplay loop is automatic and satisfying, with a moderate difficulty level, but the prestige mechanic lacks a meaningful impact. Overall, mechanics add depth but some features could be better implemented.

    • “The mechanics are good, and the gameplay loop is very automatic.”
    • “Not extremely difficult but very satisfying, and I haven't yet unlocked all the mechanics after 10 hours of play.”
    • “The skill tree mechanic is completely unusable.”
    • “My only problem is that it doesn't feel like doing the 'prestige' mechanic really does much.”
    • “I've never played another game with mechanics like absorber.”

  • graphics

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    75% positive mentions, 25% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Users appreciate the game's updated and appealing artwork, noting that the new graphics enhance the experience and reflect the creator's increased effort. The art style is well-received and complements the simple yet engaging gameplay.

    • “This is the same Absorber you may have played before on Kong, but with new artwork.”
    • “I really enjoyed the game's art style.”
    • “The gameplay is simple yet captivating, and the graphics are appealing.”

  • music

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    25% positive mentions, 50% neutral mentions, 25% negative mentions

    Users appreciate the addition of new music alongside updated art, but many feel the game still lacks sufficient sound effects and music, suggesting that 8-bit style tracks would better complement the visual style and make the experience feel more lively.

    • “The new art and added music are nice addons on top of the new progression layer.”
    • “The game feels kind of empty without music or sound effects. Some 8-bit music would vibe well with the visual style and there should be some stock music available to make the game feel more alive.”

  • replayability

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game offers limited replayability once completed, but its low price makes it a worthwhile short-term distraction.

    • “Doesn't have a lot of replayability after getting through the game, but it was inexpensive enough that this was a neat time-killer.”

  • story

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 100% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Users feel the story could be enhanced with the addition of a mission system and/or a skill tree, suggesting a desire for more structured progression and character development.

  • monetization

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Users feel that the monetization is justified and not simply a cash grab, indicating an understanding of the developer's reasons for releasing the game on Steam.
