  • Whip! Whip! offers a fun and engaging arcade experience reminiscent of classic games like Bubble Bobble, with simple yet enjoyable gameplay mechanics.
  • The game features a charming aesthetic and cute characters, making it appealing to fans of arcade-style games.
  • Co-op mode and challenge mode enhance replayability, allowing players to enjoy the game with friends and tackle tougher challenges.
  • The game suffers from technical issues, including crashes when accessing the options menu and a requirement for a controller, which limits accessibility.
  • Many players find the game too simplistic and short, with the main story mode taking only about an hour to complete, leading to concerns about its value.
  • Graphical glitches and a lack of customizable controls detract from the overall user experience, leaving room for improvement.
  • story
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is charming and simplistic, featuring a cute main character and engaging cutscenes, with a co-op mode offering an alternate ending. While the story mode can be completed in about an hour and allows for relaxed gameplay, the challenge mode presents a more difficult experience without the option to continue. Overall, the narrative is enjoyable but brief, leading some players to question its value relative to its price.

    • “The main character is very cute, and the story is charming.”
    • “So in summary; very cute and simplistic arcade-style game with a fun story, probably a lot more entertaining with a friend.”
    • “The story is simple, but it does include cutscenes that I personally find very cute, apparently with a different ending if you do co-op (for reasons that make sense once you've done the story alone).”
    • “The entire main game will take you about an hour and a half to finish, which unlocks a 'challenge mode' that is just the same game all over again where you play until you lose (in the story mode, you can go back and continue from whatever level you lost at, which makes it a bit more relaxing).”
    • “The game itself isn't long at all and can be finished within an hour or so casually playing through it for the first time, but this game offers a challenge mode after finishing the story which is the real deal no holds barred difficult achievement of the game to go for.”
  • gameplay
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is engaging and reminiscent of classic titles like Bubble Bobble, featuring unique glove mechanics that enhance movement and combat. Players enjoy the challenge of clearing stages with a variety of power-ups, but the overall experience may feel limited, as the challenge mode does not introduce new elements, potentially leading to a quick sense of completion. Despite its well-executed mechanics, some reviewers feel the game's value may not justify its price after a short playtime.

    • “The glove grabbing mechanics make moving around fun and interesting.”
    • “The movement mechanics and the power-ups keep me coming back, trying to beat it faster and faster.”
    • “Because the challenge mode doesn't offer anything new in terms of gameplay, I would say that you've basically seen the entire game after an hour and a half of playing, which, again, does not warrant the current price upon release.”
    • “The game itself and the mechanics are very well-done and competently executed, which is why I have to recommend it.”
    • “You clear stages (or 'recipes') by defeating all the enemies in each level, with a unique mechanic of shooting a ranged glove onto them.”
  • graphics
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's graphics feature a charming, simplistic style with an appealing food aesthetic and adorable characters, but players express disappointment over the absence of retro CRT filters. While the arcade aesthetic and soundtrack are praised, the game suffers from graphical glitches like flickering and crashes in the options menu, and it requires a controller for play.

    • “The characters are adorable, and the game has this big food aesthetic.”
    • “+ nice arcade aesthetic and soundtrack”
    • “The graphics are very simple, but the main complaint here is the lack of old-school CRT filters to make the game feel retro.”
    • “As for the negative, this game suffers from a few graphical glitches such as flickering, and the options screen currently crashes the game.”
  • music
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game features an upbeat, arcade-like tone with several catchy tracks that enhance the overall experience, appealing particularly to fans of classic arcade aesthetics. Reviewers appreciate the cute and colorful soundscapes, which contribute to the game's engaging atmosphere and encourage continued play.

    • “There are a few different music tracks, and honestly they are all pretty much boppin and what drove me to keep playing.”
    • “+ nice arcade aesthetic and soundtrack”
    • “So all in all, I think it's a safe bet for fans of classic, simplistic arcade games who appreciate cute and colorful music, atmospheres, and characters.”
    • “The music has an arcade-like tone and sounds, but it's nothing special.”
    • “There are a few different music tracks, but they all feel repetitive and lack variety.”
    • “While the music is cute and colorful, it ultimately feels simplistic and doesn't enhance the overall experience.”
  • replayability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's replayability is considered low, though it is slightly enhanced by the inclusion of co-op and challenge modes.

    • “Co-op and challenge mode increase the game's replayability significantly.”
    • “Co-op and challenge mode increase the game's replayability a bit.”
    • “Low replayability.”
  • stability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game experiences notable stability issues, including graphical glitches like flickering, a requirement for controller use, and crashes occurring when accessing the options screen.

    • “This game suffers from several graphical glitches, including flickering, and it crashes when accessing the options screen. Additionally, there is no way to play without a controller.”
    • “The stability issues are frustrating; the game frequently crashes and has persistent graphical glitches that detract from the experience.”
    • “I encountered multiple stability problems, such as the game crashing unexpectedly and graphical issues like flickering that make it hard to enjoy.”
  • atmosphere
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere of the game is characterized by a charming and colorful aesthetic, appealing to fans of classic arcade games with its cute visuals and engaging music.

    • “Overall, I think it's a safe bet for fans of classic, simplistic arcade games who appreciate cute and colorful music, atmospheres, and characters.”
