  • gameplay
    58 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Gameplay reviews are mixed, with some players praising the engaging mechanics and art style, while others criticize the repetitive nature and lack of depth. Many find the beard trimming mechanics frustrating and poorly explained, leading to a tedious experience. Overall, the game offers a simple premise that may appeal to those who enjoy casual play, but it struggles to maintain long-term interest due to its one-dimensional gameplay.

    • “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.”
    • “This game is a time trial pixel art tycoon, and it's hilariously more fun than you would expect as - together - 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.”
    • “The gameplay for this is outstanding and everything the devs promised has been implemented in the game.”
    • “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.”
    • “Secondly, the gameplay is impossible to get the color right, the way the money is calculated makes no sense, and the gameplay itself, where you shave beards to make them look a certain way, is really tedious and no fun.”
  • music
    48 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “This is a good game in its simplicity, and the music keeps a fun mood.”
    • “It's not very good; it's impossible to get a perfect beard. Also, it's 8-bit. I hate 8-bit, the soundtrack sucks.”
    • “What is this music!?”
    • “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.”
  • graphics
    24 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is widely praised for its randomness and comedic elements, particularly in the context of messing with customers' beards and the intentionally clumsy controls that lead to amusing accidents.

Overall, the game is described as simple, fun, and unexpectedly entertaining.

    • “If you want a one-shot free game, feel welcome to mess with the customers' beards :) It's really funny since the controls are bad (probably on purpose) for precision cutting, and it's fun to improvise accidents.”
    • “This game is a time trial pixel art tycoon, and it's hilariously more fun than you would expect. The simple mechanics of erasing, re-coloring, and shop upgrading start off excitingly and manage to keep the pace of adrenaline as you try to pay your rent and see how far you can get.”
    • “I really like this game as it is an awesome idea and is so random and funny!”
  • story
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The reviews indicate that while the game features impressive graphics and engaging multiplayer elements, there is a notable absence of a dedicated story mode. Players express a desire for a narrative component that would allow for a more forgiving gameplay experience, particularly regarding financial setbacks.

    • “But for a future update, add a story mode where when you run out of money, you don't lose everything, and you're just -$245 or whatever.”
  • replayability
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players highlight the strong replayability of the game, noting that the random generation of elements ensures a unique experience with each playthrough, particularly with the diverse interactions from different customers. This variability contributes significantly to the game's lasting appeal.

    • “All of it is randomly generated, so there is a new experience with every customer that walks in. The replay value is definitely there.”

    • “Was funny for the first 5 minutes or so, then it became quite boring and tedious.”
    • “Secondly, there is the gameplay: it's impossible to get the color right, the way the money is calculated makes no sense, and the gameplay itself where you shave beards to make them look a certain way is really tedious and no fun.”
