  • gameplay29 mentions

    • “No other game has captivated my attention quite like this one; the mechanics, art style, and gameplay are all truly works of art among many games.”
    • “The gameplay is simple: shop upgrades stretch the gameplay along with your ability to keep paying your rent as you (1) hire beard barbers and train them, (2) buy furniture, and (3) expand your shop.”
    • “This game is a time trial pixel art tycoon, and it's hilariously more fun than you would expect as the simple mechanics of erasing, re-coloring, and shop upgrading start off excitingly and manage to keep the pace of adrenaline in wanting to pay your rent to see how far you can get.”
    • “Incredibly boring and repetitive; the shaving mechanics are horrendous.”
    • “The gameplay is really repetitive and doesn't do a good job of holding your interest.”

    • “I thought it was good, but when I started it, it stayed on a pink screen playing music. That's what happened to me, so I need help.”

Overall, the game successfully combines simple mechanics with a lighthearted tone, making it a fun experience for players.

    • “Funny when you see your masterpiece on people's beards.”
    • “I really like this game as it is an awesome idea and is so random and funny!”
  • story4 mentions

    Users have criticized the game's optimization, noting that despite its unimpressive graphics, it suffers from significant performance issues, including an uncapped framerate that detracts from the overall experience.

    • “When they are free, but this really is no fun... First of all: performance - you would think a game that looks this bad would not have performance issues, but the framerate is not capped and suffers for no reason other than the developers' oversight.”
    • “The optimization is a mess. I constantly experience stuttering and frame drops, which makes the gameplay frustrating.”
    • “It's disappointing to see such poor optimization in a game that has potential. The lag and inconsistent framerate ruin the experience.”
