  • Gameplay can become repetitive and tedious, with many mini-games being too short and lacking depth or engaging objectives.
  • The game suffers from numerous bugs and glitches that can hinder the experience, making some games unplayable or frustrating.
  • The story and overall progression feel disjointed and unsatisfying, often leaving players with a lack of closure or resolution.
  • story
    21 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is a mixed bag, featuring an intriguing premise that is often undermined by poor user interface and bugs, leading to a frustrating experience for players. While some appreciate the unique backstories and the randomness of missions, many feel that the narrative lacks depth and coherence, making it feel tedious and disconnected. Overall, the potential for a compelling story exists, but it is hampered by technical issues and a reliance on RNG mechanics for progression.

    • “Ignoring the tedium and bugginess I seemed to face, the story itself was actually interesting.”
    • “I've played it for a few hours and the story has me coming back for more!”
    • “A simple-looking indie game that lets you combine two different game genres to create something unique, Supermash manages to have its own little storyline running through the whole process.”
    • “A really cool idea marred by a really terrible UI and lackluster story.”
    • “The game is generally a big waste of time as you slowly, laboriously load one mash after another, essentially, arbitrarily grinding your way through a story that goes nowhere.”
    • “Lastly, and unfortunately, the biggest problem for me was the story itself.”
  • gameplay
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Gameplay reviews highlight a mix of innovative mechanics and frustrating elements. While the concept of merging retro genres offers unique and entertaining experiences, many players find the gameplay repetitive, short, and plagued by bugs and glitches that detract from overall enjoyment. Despite some fun moments and interesting challenges, the lack of depth and narrative coherence leaves a sense of tedium for many users.

    • “This game has a really fun mechanic where you take retro genres and 'smash' them together to make a new genre.”
    • “Mixing one genre with another gave a variety of results; some seemed plain and simple with simple machines, such as a turn-based shooter, while others were totally whacked, with unusual layouts, weird gameplay machines, no story, simulated bugs and glitches, no progression, etc.”
    • “It was challenging, but totally playable and had an interesting mechanical twist.”
    • “The gameplay is repetitive and boring after you've tried all the genres.”
    • “There are difficulty controls, but everything is timed, and it always feels like I'm being rushed through, so I don't know how tedious the gameplay is.”
    • “What we have here is an awesome concept that unfortunately gets undone by tedious gameplay.”
  • stability
    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is a mixed bag, with users reporting a range of glitches that can significantly impact gameplay, making some experiences frustrating or even unplayable. While some glitches are intended as features that add variety and creativity, many players find the overall bug presence detracts from the experience, leading to a lack of progression and consistency. Despite these issues, the game's unique mechanics and randomization elements provide a casual, entertaining experience for those willing to overlook the stability problems.

    • “Plus, there is a fundamental problem of glitches making games unbeatable 100% of the time they show up.”
    • “Update: after giving it a fair shake, it's also tremendously buggy and has too few game types.”
    • “Things like facing bugs, glitches, and/or a totally unplayable game full of issues and no way to progress!”
