    • “The music is quite nice.”
    • “It seems like, around 15 minutes of music on loop, which can get tiring.”
    • “It's like hella similar to Geometry Dash but with much shittier music, respectfully.”
    • “Boring game, too expensive, it doesn't save your progress if you don't play this game for days, boring dubstep music.”
  • graphics21 mentions

    The game's graphics are generally described as decent but unremarkable, featuring a minimalist 2D art style that some players find lazy. While a few reviewers appreciate the unique aesthetic and smooth visuals, others criticize the graphics for being underwhelming and occasionally buggy, impacting gameplay. Overall, the visuals are considered acceptable for the genre, but they do not stand out significantly.

    • “Overall a fun game with a great soundtrack and smooth physics and graphics.”
    • “Graphics are great, the soundtrack is awesome, and gameplay is challenging yet fun, trying to beat each level.”
    • “Graphics are very lazy; at least they're not retro pixel, but minimalist 2D graphics are barely a step up.”
    • “The devs have a very abstract idea of what 'hitbox' means, and you'll find yourself dying over and over again from wonky visuals, controls, and physics.”
    • “Some graphics don't load, so be prepared to die to invisible stuff.”
  • gameplay17 mentions

    The gameplay is characterized by simple and engaging mechanics, but many players find it repetitive and lacking depth, leading to frustration rather than challenge. While the unique art style and music enhance the experience, the overall gameplay is considered basic and uninspired, with some mechanics underutilized or poorly implemented. Overall, it may be enjoyable for a short time but does not justify a higher price point due to its limited content.

    • “The game features a unique art style and simple yet engaging gameplay mechanics.”
    • “With the game's simple yet engaging gameplay mechanics, combined with its unique art style, it makes for a game worth checking out.”
    • “Graphics are great, the soundtrack is awesome, and gameplay is challenging yet fun, trying to beat each level.”
    • “Some game mechanics give frustration rather than challenge.”
    • “The mechanics are simple, but the game gets pretty repetitive in the end.”
    • “Gameplay is equally as bland and uninspired.”
  • grinding3 mentions

    The grinding aspect of the game is characterized by its tedious and repetitive nature, primarily appealing to players who enjoy achieving 100% completion. While the main game can be completed in about 2 hours, much of the playtime can be attributed to idle farming for cards, making it feel more like a chore than an engaging experience.

    • “You can beat it in 2 hours (I have 3 because I left the first hour idle farming the cards, haha), full 100% achievements.”
    • “Playtime is mostly from AFK card farming.”
    • “This is only for those few people who enjoy getting 100% achievements in a tedious and repetitive game.”
  • story2 mentions

    The game is noted for lacking a compelling story, with some players finding it easy and unengaging in that aspect, although the music received positive remarks.

    • “Otherwise, it's an easy game in terms of technology; there is no story. The music is a big plus for me!”
  • stability2 mentions

    The game's stability is marred by buggy controls and issues with screen push, which can lead to frustrating gameplay, especially in precision-demanding levels. While the graphics and overall fun factor are appreciated, many users feel that the control issues detract significantly from the experience, making it hard to recommend the game despite its interesting style.

    • “The controls are buggy, and the screen will push you sometimes, making it very frustrating, especially in parts where you have to be very precise. If you even twitch, you die, and the game just pushes you slightly to the right.”
    • “I wouldn't tell someone to buy it though; it's a waste of money even for how small it is. The game is 50 levels, and each level can be beaten in 2-5 minutes, but the controls could easily be fixed and made better.”
    • “The last level is filled with spam and is very unforgiving if you don't dodge every little thing. The controls could be improved, especially by allowing left click as a secondary fire option instead of left ctrl.”
  • humor1 mentions

    Hungry Flame is praised for its humor, effectively blending simplicity and entertainment in an indie game format. Reviewers find it interesting and casual, warranting a positive reception despite a modest rating of 6/10.

    • “Hungry Flame is a great example of how to take the Unity engine and create a simple, indie game that is interesting, funny, and entertaining.”
    • “The humor in this game is spot on, making even the simplest tasks enjoyable and filled with laughter.”
    • “I found myself chuckling at the witty dialogue and clever puns throughout the gameplay.”
