  • gameplay
    50 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of "Gravity Badgers" is largely criticized for being a simplistic and repetitive clone of "Angry Birds," featuring inconsistent physics and frustrating mechanics. While some players appreciate the basic mechanics and the variety of levels, many find the overall experience lacking due to poor design choices, bugs, and a lack of engaging content. The game is described as a casual, pick-up-and-play experience that ultimately fails to deliver depth or excitement, making it feel more like a low-quality mobile port 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.”
    • “A lifeless, broken clone of Angry Birds, featuring inconsistent physics and punishing gameplay.”
    • “This game is not worth it; the extremely basic game mechanics and the overall lack of interesting and fun moments make this game a very poor mobile app rip-off.”
    • “It's riddled with questionable game design choices, graphical glitches, and gameplay bugs, making the overall experience of playing it lacking at best.”
  • graphics
    33 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of "Gravity Badgers" receive mixed reviews, with many players finding them dull and reminiscent of flash games, lacking in detail and animation. While some appreciate the unique art style and comic book visuals, others criticize the static character designs and graphical glitches that detract from the overall experience. Overall, the visuals are seen as simplistic and underwhelming, failing to elevate the gameplay.

    • “The graphic is easy on the eye without trying to be anyhow amazing; the game is generally pleasant to look at.”
    • “Graphics: 9/10, unique art style.”
    • “Throw yourself into the planets' gravity, dodge asteroids and unyielding deadly bosses in over a hundred levels of vacuum-filled adventure and danger, all united under a stunning art style reminiscent of all your favorite 80's cartoons complete with a thumping mullet rock soundtrack!”
    • “Gravity Badgers' graphics are generally dull, even by the standards of the vacuum of space.”
    • “The graphics are ugly, the story is boring, the music is terrible...”
    • “There is some nice art in the game that they use to move the story as you progress through the zones, but the in-game visuals are just hilariously underwhelming.”
  • 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 atmosphere, while others criticize it for being repetitive and lacking variety. Many noted that the soundtrack loops too quickly and can become annoying over time, particularly in the absence of adjustable audio settings. Overall, while some tracks are appreciated for their nostalgic and thematic qualities, the general consensus leans towards disappointment due to the limited and monotonous nature of the music.

    • “Nice relaxing music.”
    • “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.”
  • story
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is generally viewed as weak and poorly implemented, with many reviewers noting its lack of depth and engaging content. While some appreciate the cute concept and artwork, the overall narrative is often described as childish, boring, and a hindrance to the gameplay experience. Despite attempts at humor and emotional impact, the story fails to resonate with most players, overshadowed by the game's focus on gameplay over narrative.

    • “Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
    • “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 clear, amusing tutorial. While some players find the humor engaging enough to warrant a purchase, others feel that the overall experience, including the visuals, falls short despite the comedic elements. The theme tune also adds to the lighthearted atmosphere, contributing to the game's charm.

    • “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.”
    • “It's been an hour, and the theme tune is still funny.”
  • stability
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The stability of the game 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. Overall, the game's stability is a significant drawback, leading to a lackluster experience.

    • “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 feels mindless, requiring players to memorize previous attempts rather than engage in strategic thinking. Additionally, lengthy tutorials and cutscenes contribute to the overall sense of monotony.

    • “Plus, on some levels, finding exactly the right vector needed to win can grow tedious.”
    • “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. Knowing 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.”
  • emotional
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The emotional aspect of the game is mixed, with some players feeling a disconnect that leads them to abandon it, though they acknowledge a catchy theme song that resonates positively.

  • replayability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviewers indicate that the game's design significantly hampers replayability, turning it into a tedious guessing exercise rather than an engaging experience.

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