    24 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game evoke a nostalgic retro aesthetic, reminiscent of classic arcade and NES titles, with many players appreciating the pixelated style. However, opinions are divided; while some find the visuals charming and fitting for the genre, others criticize them as outdated and poorly executed, detracting from the overall experience. The fixed resolution and lack of modern 3D graphics make it accessible on lower-end hardware, but this choice has led to mixed feelings about the game's artistic direction.

    • “I love the classic pixelated graphics and honestly the novelty of it is simply breathtaking.”
    • “Combine that with beautifully designed graphics and a great soundtrack that both harken back to the 8-bit era, and you end up with a very charming game.”
    • “The aesthetic is cool, feels like an old style arcade or NES type game.”
    • “Bad camera angle, graphics look like they are from the mid 90's.”
    • “The developer here does not understand this, and because of a sharp deficiency in basic game development capability, chose hideous retro pixel graphics, defeating the purpose of the entire exercise.”
    • “On top of the ugly retro graphics, we have fixed resolution, terrible art, completely nonsensical steampunk theme (who asked for that?).”
  • music
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is widely praised for its joyful 8-bit chiptune tracks that complement the steampunk theme, evoking nostalgia for classic gaming. While some reviewers noted occasional jarring breaks from the 8-bit style, the overall soundtrack is considered a strong fit for the gameplay, enhancing the experience with its charm and thematic consistency. Players appreciate the combination of good music, detailed graphics, and engaging gameplay, making it appealing to both old-school gamers and fans of pinball and pixel art.

    • “All the parts move and whirl, secrets to find, fun soundtracks; everything you'd want from a pinball game.”
    • “Combine that with beautifully designed graphics and a great soundtrack that both harken back to the 8-bit era, and you end up with a very charming game.”
    • “As far as the special effects and music, they work just fine, though the breaks from the 8-bit convention are pretty jarring.”
    • “Music and sounds are joyful 8-bit tracks fitting the steampunk theme, and the art is detailed but clear and not distracting.”
  • gameplay

  • story
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is centered around a ball's journey to defy gravity, serving as a metaphor for the universe's entropic decay. However, many users criticize the lack of missions or goals, leading to a perception of insufficient depth and narrative engagement, ultimately questioning the value of the experience.

    • “Witness one ball's quest to defy gravity in this action-packed metaphor for the inevitable entropic decay of the universe.”
    • “A lack of missions/goals during play further reduces the depth offered to players.”
    • “There are no missions, there is no story, it's just not enough to pay money for.”
  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is highlighted by its self-referential jokes, particularly the amusing situation of a broken achievement, which adds a layer of irony to the gameplay experience.

    • “Also, hilariously, one of the achievements is broken.”
  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players note that collecting all the stickers awarded in the bonus rounds can become quite grindy, requiring significant time and effort to achieve completion.

    • “Stickers are awarded for the bonus round, so collecting them all can get a bit grindy.”
