  • gameplay
    246 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay in "Biped" is characterized by its unique movement mechanics, where players control each robot's legs individually, creating a fun and often chaotic cooperative experience. Each level introduces new mechanics and puzzles, keeping the gameplay fresh and engaging, although some players find the puzzles too easy and the overall campaign short. While the game is praised for its charming visuals and cooperative elements, it can be frustrating at times, particularly for those using mouse controls instead of a controller.

    • “The various environments for each level add a pleasant variety, but they each hold their own gameplay mechanics too.”
    • “The game’s standout mechanic is its unique movement system, where each leg is controlled individually, adding an extra layer of challenge and hilarity as you wobble around.”
    • “Each level introduces a new conceit so gameplay is fresh all the way through.”
    • “The gameplay is bad.”
    • “This is a terrible idea, it results in a janky gameplay experience.”
    • “The single-player gameplay itself is awful, not well explained, and not PC friendly (I luckily had an Xbox controller, but god forbid those who don't).”
  • humor
    136 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in this game is a standout feature, with players frequently describing it as hilarious and chaotic, especially in co-op mode.

    • “The teamwork required in the co-op campaign is incredibly fun, requires a fair amount of coordinated teamwork/communication, and never fails to leave me laughing like an idiot.”
  • story
    124 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in "Biped" is generally described as simple and short, focusing on themes of friendship and cooperation, but lacking depth and complexity. Players can complete the main story in about 3-4 hours, with some noting that the narrative serves more as a backdrop to the gameplay rather than a central element. While the missions are enjoyable and the art style is cute, many reviewers express a desire for a more substantial story and longer campaign.

    • “It's a simple but sweet story that highlights the importance of friendship and cooperation.”
    • “The characters, story, music... everything is sooo cute!!”
    • “Pleasant character and level designs, simplistic story, good core mechanics to make it stand out from similar games.”
    • “The story doesn't really make sense; you are supposed to light up some beacons to 'light the earth' and help galaxy travelers.”
    • “Finishing the main story took under 4 hours, and other than the boring solo campaign, there isn't much to do.”
    • “The story is lacking, especially considering that nothing much happens when finishing puzzles, including the last one.”
  • graphics
    106 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are consistently praised for their cute, colorful, and minimalist aesthetic, which enhances the overall charm and enjoyment of the gameplay.

While some mention the simplicity of the graphics, they are generally seen as fitting well with the game's cooperative and puzzle-solving mechanics, creating an immersive and delightful atmosphere.

    • “Visually, the game’s colorful, minimalist aesthetic adds to its charm, and the lighthearted soundtrack complements the cheerful vibe.”
    • “The graphics are beautiful and elegant in their simplicity, shining with a joyful palette.”
    • “Runs slow on my computer, and seems like more of the budget for creating the game was on graphics instead of story design/ease of gameplay.”
    • “It's a fact that further textures are not looking detailed at all, but the graphics in general fit the game.”
    • “Do not be fooled by the cutesy graphics.”
  • music
    56 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally praised for its charm and ability to complement the visuals, creating a relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere. However, many players express frustration over the lack of separate volume controls for music and sound effects, which limits their ability to customize their audio experience. Overall, while the soundtrack is described as cute and fitting, some players find it repetitive or annoying, suggesting a desire for more control over the audio settings.

    • “The soundtrack perfectly complements the picture — relaxing music and funny sound effects add charm to the game.”
    • “The calm, colorful graphics and pleasant music make it a relaxing experience while still offering a good challenge in some levels.”
    • “The animation, sounds, and soundtrack are perfect for this little robot world!”
    • “As if that wasn't enough, there is only 1 volume control for everything, so you can't mute the childish music.”
    • “My only gripe is, why is there only 1 volume for both music and sound effects?”
    • “I want to turn the (in my opinion) terrible music off but keep hearing the rest.”
  • replayability
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's replayability is a mixed bag; while some players appreciate the potential for skill improvement and the inclusion of various modes and achievements that encourage replay, many feel that the main game is too short (around 3-4 hours) and lacks substantial content for repeated playthroughs. The addition of a workshop offers some extra replay value, but overall, players express a desire for more content to enhance the experience.

    • “Because there's plenty of room here for improving your skill, and the various modes would probably give you a fair bit of replayability.”
    • “There's definitely replayability with medals for speed and no deaths, and also some bonus technical levels, so the amount of content is there too if you're into those things.”
    • “There are multiple different achievements to try and get through each level for replayability.”
    • “The downside is that the game does not seem that long, and does not seem to have a lot of replay value.”
    • “Zero replayability; the main game and all the challenge levels can be beaten in about 3 or 4 hours, but to 100% the achievements you have to grind out levels, beyond just finding all the stars you have to do the same few levels over and over to get enough coins to unlock all the outfits to get the last achievement.”
    • “Nice game for a chill co-op session, but due to the nature of the game, it is pretty short and has pretty limited replayability.”
  • grinding
    17 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The reviews indicate that grinding in the game can be exceptionally tedious, with some players feeling it requires an excessive time commitment, likening it to needing "a second life." While some achievements and customization options necessitate minimal grinding, others find the process frustrating and repetitive, particularly when it involves replaying levels multiple times to collect coins. Overall, the grinding aspect is seen as a significant drawback, impacting the enjoyment of the game.

    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • “Exceptionally tedious.”
    • “Unfortunately, it can get a bit tedious and frustrating.”
    • “It took us 11 hours to 100% the game with the pro co-op levels and about an hour of grinding coins to buy everything in the store.”
  • emotional
    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game evokes a strong emotional response, blending charm and humor with moments of frustration that can lead to tears, both of joy and pain. Players appreciate its wholesome art style and the heartwarming themes of teamwork, especially in co-op play, which enhances the emotional experience. Overall, it is described as a fun and touching game that resonates deeply with players, making them laugh and cry throughout their journey.

    • “Co-op had headpats, gameplay so cute I cried, and robots are adorable.”
    • “It almost made me cry.”
    • “Overall, it is a truly fun and heartwarming game.”
  • stability
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is mixed, with users reporting various bugs, particularly in the level editor and co-op mode, which can sometimes be resolved by restarting. Some players experience significant issues, such as complete system freezes and crashes, while others report a generally smooth experience with minimal glitches. Overall, while the game is enjoyable, it suffers from stability problems that need addressing.

    • “9/10: It feels a little short as a co-op title (3-4 hours for the main game, plus an additional 6 to 8 for the challenges), but other than that, it is adorable, bug-free, and plenty of fun by yourself or with someone else. Just be careful your fingers don't get tired as you waddle your little robutt around!”
    • “No bugs, no glitches, no lag.”
    • “The game freezes my whole PC and then crashes.”
    • “I have checked my internet connection and run various troubleshooting steps on my end just to make sure, but it is definitely the game.”
    • “Overall it's very nice, but please fix the editor; it has so many save glitches and you can't really place your own terrain, it's just the models from the already existing ones.”
  • atmosphere
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Biped is praised for its charming and cozy atmosphere, characterized by bright colors, pleasant animations, and detailed, varied levels that evoke positive emotions. The game's friendly and relaxing vibe makes even challenging moments enjoyable, while the cute, clumsy characters enhance the overall experience.

    • “Biped is an amazingly atmospheric and soulful cooperative game that leaves behind a lot of positive emotions.”
    • “Bright colors, pleasant animations, and detailed levels create a cozy atmosphere.”
    • “The levels in Biped are colorful and varied with a friendly atmosphere.”
    • “Also, the animations are cute and clumsy; the overall atmosphere is relaxing, so even falling to your death does not frustrate at all.”
    • “That being said, the game does a good job at capturing the spirit of the area you are playing in and tries to implement that atmosphere into the gameplay itself.”
  • optimization
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization has received mixed feedback, with some players noting performance issues even on capable hardware, such as the RTX 2060 Super and Ryzen 3600. While local co-op runs smoothly, online server performance is lacking, and players have suggested that minor tweaks could enhance the overall experience. Additionally, the game's short length and finicky mechanics detract from enjoyment.

    • “Optimized for the game from 4 to 6 hours to complete!”
    • “No major issues encountered when playing local co-op and everything runs smoothly.”
    • “Some very simple tweaks would make it much more enjoyable, and I had performance problems (RTX 2060 Super and Ryzen 3600), but I spent lots of time to make it match the refresh rate of my screen and run smoothly.”
    • “The game is optimized to be completed in just 4 to 6 hours!”
    • “Disadvantages: In terms of online optimization, the server performance is lacking; the gameplay feels a bit repetitive.”
    • “Graphics and performance issues are prevalent.”
  • monetization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game is mixed; while some players appreciate the absence of microtransactions and the ability to earn cosmetic items through gameplay, others criticize the developers for perceived cash grab tactics and technical issues that hinder the experience, leading to requests for refunds.

    • “No microtransactions, just play the game and grind coins to get good-looking skins.”
    • “The monetization model is fair; you can earn everything through gameplay without spending real money.”
    • “I appreciate that the game offers cosmetic items that can be unlocked through effort rather than purchases.”
    • “Super sketchy move by the devs and it reeks of them trying to make a cash grab in whatever new asset flip they're shilling.”
    • “Biped feels like a total cash grab; it took my friend and I 40 minutes to join each other, and it erased all my data. If the devs read this, Alrisian and I would like a refund.”
  • character development
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Character development is highlighted by unique and appealing character designs that enhance the overall aesthetic experience, complemented by engaging sound elements. The balance of difficulty also contributes positively to players' connection with the characters.

    • “The character design and sounds were very pleasing to the senses.”
    • “Great character design.”
