Guano

As a bald loser myself, I approve of this masterpiece

I didn't expect this free random game to be such a fun flight-a-thon, but it's kind of a banger.

Game is badly optimized, and some achievements are bugged.

"Guano" is a somewhat mediocre student project with a distasteful theme (who on earth thought it would be okay to make this the student assignment)? Fly around, make a nuisance of yourself, this is a really so/so experience, but at least it's free. The graphics in this game are passable, but could be better. And while it's vital for any game to have impressive visuals (gaming is a visual medium, after all), there's more to a game than just the graphics. To be worth a gamers time, the game must match top tier visuals with top tier gameplay, and that's not happening here. Not every "free" game really is. There's often MTX, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, or any other number of things that could mislead gamers, but in this case I'm glad to say this really does appear to be a fully free game. Nothing demonstrates a developers belief in themselves and their work than giving it away without any remuneration. This is a service to themselves, and the gaming industry, and should be applauded. Of course, just because something is free, doesn't necessarily mean it's valuable. Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 12 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? This is a "maybe" experience... if you have a lot of free time on your hands and nothing else to do, why not? But for the purposes of a review, this isn't something I can say everyone must try. It's not quite there. Valve doesn't give us a "maybe" option in reviews, but if they did, that's what I'd choose for this.

Short, silly fun time

The general play is okay, there are some challenges, mostly being races, collectables to find and the story/characters adds some good flavour to the game, however the game feels a bit janky, I played it on keyboard and mouse (the game suggests controller but I dont have one) the camera controlling fights against you the whole time, using the smash down ability is difficult to aim due to this and sadly a handful of the achievements do not work. Difficulty ☐ Tell My Wife I L... ☐ Engage the gamer position ☐ A Chill Challenge ☑ Are we still on the tutorial? ☐ Easier than regretting the amount of hours I have on Dota Ignoring the fight against the controls the difficult isnt hard, if you fail a mission your put back to the start to go again, so you basically just throw yourself at it until you do it right, most the head to head races have directional boosters which push the way you need to go anyway so half the job is done for you, the rest arent even on a timer so you can stall as much as you need, also all the enemies are ignorable, I didn't even come close to getting hit at all throughout my entire playthrough, all in all its a simple, easy game Enjoyment ☐ Absolute euphoria ☐ Worth your time ☐ Its aight ☑ Beats day time TV ☐ Ayoo there's paint drying over there Due to the low difficulty and broken achievements the fun factor isn't amazing, I played it for about 80 mins and id say after 20/30 minutes I was starting to wander if this is it, most of my time was spent redoing missions to try to trigger the achievements, concept was pretty fun though just a shame it wasn't really fun focused, for a game named Guano very few missions had anything do to with pooping, it was just gathering food and racing really. Quality ☐ Even better than oddly satisfying hydraulic press videos at 2am ☐ B-E-A-Utiful ☐ No complaints ☑ Janky but manageable ☐ GET THE BUG SPRAYYYYYYY The game is playable, it does feel a bit janky when playing, the camera seems to lag slightly even on lower graphically settings its like a slight jitter when moving fast, the camera isnt your friend and will pull away constantly this could be due to mouse gaming but still frustrating, I have 5 achievements yet to get 1 I could get but due to the other 4 not working I've given up, these for anyone curious are 'the biggest ♥♥♥♥, learn from your mistakes, demolition team, suspicious transaction', I have completed the task related to these achievements a minimum of 2 times each and haven't been given them, others have complained of the same issue in the past in the discussions, so it seems this wont be fixed Due to the low difficulty, broken achievements and fight to control yourself I wouldn't recommend this game. Should the Dev return to this game then heres some points to improve. Focus on the Guano its literally in the name, give some tasks to poop on x amount of people or vehicles, this isn't listed as a racing game, remember that. Fix the screen issues when slowing down with poop ability or moving fast its like a jitter/frame distorting slightly Obviously get those achievements working Speed up the enemies attack to make it something you cant ignore all the time.
