  • gameplay
    48 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of this mobile ported physics puzzle game is heavily criticized for its simplicity and repetitiveness, often compared unfavorably to "Angry Birds." While it features some interesting mechanics like moving obstacles and boss fights, many players find the overall experience tedious and lacking in depth, with numerous bugs and poor level design detracting from enjoyment. Despite its casual appeal, the game fails to deliver a satisfying challenge or engaging gameplay, leaving it feeling more like a low-quality mobile app than a polished PC title.

    • “Gameplay-wise, it's very simplistic, pick up and play.”
    • “The mechanics are simple and solid, and you can simply skip levels if you can't get past them.”
    • “Gameplay is simple but with a ton of levels (140) and the 'puzzles' getting progressively harder, you will soon start scratching your head a little for those perfect scores.”
    • “Apart from the very lame mobile-tier gameplay (yawn), once more we see greedy mobile devs trying to screw over PC gamers.”
    • “It's riddled with questionable game design choices, graphical glitches, and gameplay bugs, making the overall experience playing it lacking at best.”
    • “The physics are... questionable at best, the story is sub-moronic, and the gameplay is repetitive and poorly thought-out.”
  • music
    32 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players finding it relaxing and fitting for the game's themes, while others criticize it for being repetitive and lacking variety. Many noted that the soundtrack loops too quickly and can become annoying over time, especially in the absence of adjustable audio settings.

    • “Music is good and fitting for the setting of space flight.”
    • “Couple this with an amazing soundtrack and awesome graphics; this really makes Gravity Badgers a quality game that you’ll keep coming back to.”
    • “The title screen music is a few seconds long and doesn't loop nicely.”
    • “Even worse, the game's droning, repetitive music absolutely dwarfs the sound effects, and there is no way to adjust the in-game volume or use individual audio sliders.”
    • “The worst thing about the game is the music though, for each of the 24 normal levels the music doesn't change, it's a droning ambient 'spacey' track that goes on, and on, and on.”
  • graphics
    30 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

  • story
    19 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is a mixed bag, with some players appreciating its moral lessons and emotional depth, while others criticize it as simplistic, poorly implemented, and lacking in substance. While the artwork and cutscenes attempt to enhance the narrative experience, many reviewers feel that the story detracts from the overall gameplay, describing it as childish or unengaging. Overall, the narrative seems to be overshadowed by gameplay and graphics, leading to a generally lukewarm reception.

    • “A brilliant blend of action and story.”
    • “The game isn't extremely long and can be completed in a few hours; the plot cutscenes try to be funny and lighten the mood successfully.”
    • “The game has a decent electronica-based soundtrack, and while there is no voiced dialogue, the story is driven along via lovely artwork done in a comic book style.”
    • “As is standard procedure for smartphone puzzle games, there is barely any story here.”
    • “The 'story' and writing is worthy of being removed from the game, as it does nothing but hinder the experience.”
    • “The story is very childish and not worth reading.”
  • humor
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's humor is a notable highlight, with successful attempts to lighten the mood through plot cutscenes and a humorous tutorial. While some players find the in-game visuals underwhelming, the comedic elements, including a funny theme tune and amusing cinema scenes, contribute to an overall entertaining experience. However, opinions vary on whether the humor justifies the game's value.

    • “The game isn't extremely long and can be completed in a few hours; the plot cutscenes try to be funny and lighten the mood successfully.”
    • “The tutorial is crystal clear in how to play and even has brief moments of humor.”

  • stability
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is notably poor, with numerous bugs and glitches affecting gameplay, particularly during critical moments like boss battles. Players report broken physics and graphical issues that detract from the overall experience, making it frustrating for those sensitive to such problems. While some may adapt to these flaws, the game is generally not recommended for players who are easily irritated by instability.

    • “Partially yes, but you'll soon catch up with the bugs and glitches in the game. If you are a fickle and easily irritated player, avoid this game at all costs.”
    • “It's riddled with questionable game design choices, graphical glitches, and gameplay bugs, making the overall experience playing it lacking at best.”
    • “In regards to the graphical glitches and bugs, you'll sometimes think you're aiming one way at a certain acceleration, but once you let your badger fly, he'll go in a completely different direction or at a different speed.”
  • grinding
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and lacking in enjoyment, particularly when it involves repetitive trial and error to achieve optimal results. While some mechanics are decent, the process often devolves into mindless memorization rather than strategic gameplay, with lengthy tutorials and cutscenes adding to the frustration.

    • “Tedious, not very fun.”
    • “When levels aren't stupifyingly simple (aim at the nearest star at max power and instantly win with 3 stars), it's mindlessly tedious. You know what to do to win, but trying to find the perfect sweet spot to get 3 stars on the first try takes no thought or strategy and is mostly just memorizing your last move and using trial and error at its most pointless.”
    • “It's a decent mechanic, I suppose, but once you see how to solve a level, it becomes a tedious process of guessing just which angle and how much force you need to launch yourself with.”
  • emotional
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The emotional aspect of the game is mixed; while some players find the theme song catchy, it suggests a lack of deeper emotional engagement, leading them to step away from the game entirely.

  • replayability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users feel that the game's design significantly hampers replayability, turning it into a guessing chore rather than an engaging experience.

    • “This kills replayability and makes the game more of a guessing chore and less of a game.”
