Wax Heads

“This game has so much passion and care put into it; the art style is fantastic, I love all the character designs so much, the story is really sweet and grabbed my attention the entire time, the writing was incredible and did the same.”

“An amazing story about community, relationships with others and art, and complex feelings surrounding creation through the prism of indie music that will resonate with anyone with any kind of artistic fiber.”

“The story was fantastic and reading through all the text gave so much extra.”

“Loved it, loved the mechanics of finding out what people want through reading about the music, loved the music itself, loved the puzzle games, loved the forefront of the story of complexities of sibling relationships and the added lovely bigger story of community and queer and POC voices and all of it feeling organic and not a marketing ploy like it often does in other games. It all just felt real and like it was made from a place of care and also I just loved selling vinyls lol. Happy to have found this game when it was just a demo and now it's even more fun as a full game.”

“Hunting through the store to find the record a customer wants is damn fine puzzle gameplay; it gives you reason to explore, reason to read, and a wonderful 'aha!' feeling if you can recognize a request as soon as a customer makes it.”

“Wax Heads boasts casual but very engaging gameplay that blends seamlessly with its narrative. This results in a varying level of challenge that helps keep the gameplay engaging without becoming overwhelming or frustrating. Wax Heads also offers up a selection of mini games that are very enjoyable and provide a nice bit of variety and break up the main gameplay a little.”

“Wax Heads uses a colorful hand-drawn cartoon art style with a vibrant palette and bold lines.”

“The art style is colorful and lovely to look at, making it a delight to walk around the shop and take everything in as more areas open up to you.”

“The characters are all really unique, the artstyle is original and fresh and I really love all the little details that went into this game, like for example all the vinyls and their cover art that were created for this game alone or the zines you can flip through and really feel all the love and authenticity that was poured into this work of art.”

“The game's heartfelt narrative adeptly weaves in themes about community, family, sticking together during hard times, and never giving up the good fight.”

“The story isn't the most groundbreaking thing ever, but the themes being discussed and the way they're handled in such a human manner really makes for a touching experience that I don't often get from a piece of media, especially a puzzle game like this.”

“The artwork, music, story writing, animation—each and every single person who contributed to this game deserves a warm hug as it made me cry at the end and I rarely cry at games.”

“A charming, funny game that deserves all its flowers!”

“The writing is good, and some interactions and returning customers are hilarious.”

“The conversational and personalized dialogue each character has makes this game even more enjoyable because I could not stop gushing, laughing, or almost crying at several instances while playing because it would not stop hitting me in the feels.”

“This game has so much passion and care put into it; the art style is fantastic, I love all the character designs so much, the story is really sweet and grabbed my attention the entire time, the writing was incredible and did the same, and the music, oh man, it's crazy how a game can make this much original music that spans so many different genres and make them all sound great.”

“I love figuring out which record best suits the customer, the art, the message, and character design!”

“Very cute game with tons of inclusivity not only in character design but in music taste as well.”

“The graphics are gorgeous, full of personality and atmosphere, and I especially loved seeing the team members and their music recommendations at the end.”

“I love all the little references and the atmosphere is just perfect.”

“The easter eggs, minigames, characters, and general atmosphere make this a constantly enjoyable experience.”
