About
BAR is a single player action game. It was developed by TechieMay and was released on June 29, 2025. It received mostly positive reviews from players.
"Bar" is an incremental game where the objective is to fill the bar using various widgets, such as buttons and levers. As you progress, filling the bar becomes more challenging, requiring upgrades and customizations to your widgets. Once you can no longer fill the bar, you can start a new run with enhanced abilities. The game encourages you to "cleanse the maroon," but the meaning behind this phrase is not clear without further context.
- Highly addictive and enjoyable, with a simple premise that allows for deep customization and strategy.
- The game features a variety of mechanics, widgets, and synergies that enhance gameplay and keep it engaging.
- Sound design is satisfying, and the game shows potential for growth with frequent updates and a vast collection of swatches.
- Lacks a pause feature, making it difficult for players with busy lives to manage gameplay sessions effectively.
- Many mechanics and widgets are poorly explained or bugged, leading to frustrating gameplay experiences.
- The game feels rough around the edges, with basic functionalities missing and a slow early game that may deter some players.

Gameplay is initially overwhelming due to its complex mechanics, but players quickly adapt to the core concepts, allowing for engaging customization and progression. While the game introduces new elements like widgets and colors to enhance variety, some mechanics feel underwhelming or ineffective. The early game may be slow, but the overall progression improves as players interact with the mechanics, despite a lack of clear explanations.
“Although the mechanics may seem overwhelming upon first glance, it doesn't take long to get a firm grasp on the core concepts.”
“Between widgets, swatches, colors, and a plethora of other upgrades and mechanics, you can customize each run into something that idly ticks away at the bar in the background to something you're constantly engaging with and managing to plow through rounds as fast as possible, with a pretty nice middle ground.”
“Though the game has a slow early game, the mechanics set in place allow the progression rate to increase over time.”
“The game also doesn't explain all too well how it works, although there is an official guide on Steam for it, and the game does incrementally introduce new mechanics and essentially (not so subtly) forces you to interact with them.”
“I will say in my experience, there are some widgets in the game that I feel don't have much impact or are strictly worse compared to a counterpart, along with a whole mechanic feeling weak and ineffective.”
“For the mechanic that feels completely weak and useless, it would be hold in all aspects.”
