Champions of Breakfast

pirate slopware made it

Even for $3 this is a waste of money. The developer claims to have "20 years in the industry" yet this looks like something a high school student being taught intro to game making would throw together for a final project Dev has been embroiled in multiple controversies, spreads lies and misinformation about Stop Killing Games initiative, and when refuted refuses to apologize or correct his statements. Save your $3 and avoid any other current or future projects from this "dev"

This dev killed his own game. Spend your money on something better than this, like a soda or a bag of popcorn.

the dev is a nepobaby and a corpo shill

The developer of this game has gotten himself into some controversy, recently, but I made my purchase and played for around half an hour without knowledge of this. I'd had my eye on this game for a bit, being a cheap game with Steam Trading Cards, but I was totally unaware of this until I'd put the game down. Figured I wanted to get ahead of that before I actually got to the review, because my negative review isn't really affected by that. It's a cute, easy little SHMUP that can be played on the Steam Deck. Levels are repetitive, there's only a handful of enemy patterns, and the progression system isn't really explained at all in-game. There's no manual, nothin'. At the end of every stage, after beating the boss, you're presented with 3 choices for a permanent upgrade. What do they do? Doesn't tell you. You can't hover over the item for a description, so what I /imagine/ is intended be a strategic choice is you looking at 3 food items whose appearances may not correlate with effect, and either look at a user guide or just fumble blindly. Apparently there's some fancy 'trick' the developer thought was kinda cutesy by tying game progression to achievements. For several reasons, this is kind of a silly idea, but it does raise a barrier for any players who may want to reset their progress for one reason or another. It's 3 bucks, so it's not like you're wasting a whole bunch of money, but what you're getting is pretty feature-bare with some questionable design decisions.

Its replay-ability is not great... no updates in years, obviously developer intended this game to have a quick end of life to make money off other games

tldr the game is kind of basic, and the dev is bad i received this game for free by watching the dude who made it. I already had some personal grievances with him and i wont support the game of a person who treats others badly, and after all that has happened, i even more so, dont support this game, i wont fill the pockets of a guy who mistreated his coworkers, spread misinformation, and refuses to accept criticism. sadly he must learn the hard way that what hes doing is wrong, and that he must grow past this childishness.
