GUG

Jeepers. I wanted to love this. Hell, I wanted to LIKE it at least. The demo was fun and intriguing. Gameplay felt a little underdeveloped, but that's to be expected. The core idea - a card battler about nubby orbs grown in an amniotic soup, where players could steer the creation of new deadly creatures - is great. I liked the demo. I understood it. The art style and sound design were interesting. The final game? Holy yikes, y'all. What happened? GUG has evolved into an utterly confusing mini-game where absolutely nothing - not even the menus and welcome screen - are intuitive or clear. The evocative art style has been replaced with bright, blaring text, much of it scrolling or flashing like a "EVERYTHING MUST GO!" ad. It's unclear where to click, and where you'll go... or why. Once the game starts, it's never clear what actions are allowed (the game provides no feedback when something doesn't work). The very basics of gameplay - movement, attacking, defending - are opaque, confusing, and don't seem to work as described. There's no sense of an objective; nothing to invest in. It's confusing and frustrating. I don't think I've ever seen a game slide so inexplicably from a promising demo to an unplayable mess. The only upside is that it's incredibly cheap, so there's not much to lose if you want to take a crack at it. Good luck.

God, this game is a confused pile of seemingly vibe coded mess. Beyond the lame AI usage, the main gimmick of the game barely functions, my first run I created a gug that was supposed to deal damage to enemies when it entered, but this never happened like the game said it would. The game ran so slowly, there were bizarrely long loading screens with AI generated hints, probably due to generating the entire game and enemies with AI outside of the game itself (Game connects to OpenAI while open/playing) The layout is buggy, I thought the game was in early access but it appears to be fully released. Do not buy this cash grab AI game.

the demo worked more efficiently then the actual game, 0/10 i would rate it, at the point, will uninstall and wait a year before i try to play it again assuming the developers do any more work on it............that being said, thoroughly loved the demo....dont know how they messed up the actual release this bad......of the hundreds of games i have played on steam this full version is the absolute worst i have ever played.......

The game was designed to be broken. And that's ok. It's fun to prompt something and receive a gug that can delete everything. Problem is, that the game is broken without you breaking it. A lot of the things don't work the way they are described, and if a mechanic is particularly complex, it memory leaks your game to unplayability. I have had to alt+F4 multiple runs because the game just collapsed on me. I really enjoy it regardless, but can't recommend it

This game is garbage. Do NOT buy. It doesn’t even work. Just trash.

There is no game, just enter the battlefields triggers, dmg, and health. thats it, why name a guy anything when its either not going to work or just do a moderate more amount of dmg, or health. There is something cool here but I couldn't find it and I dont find it worth searching for after this point, I dont see much difference between this and the demo

Honest opinion, I absolutely adore this game. I got it last night on a whim and 3 hours later i was totally smitten. This game is sorta a blend of a magic the gather style column and get your monsters to hit the master style combat system, blended with a monster generator auto battler. Honestly I think it works amazingly. I have no idea why ppl are complaining it doesnt work or the creatures don't work. My creatures and world all worked together exactly as all the pieces were labeled. I genuinely enjoy the synergy between the base combat system and how your monsters ai built abilities integrate into it. Its really interesting to witness. Its a game that properly uses ai and doesn't deserve hate for using it, this is a proper usage of the medium. All that said, this game is genuinely fun on both the creativity and just fun levels! plus...its dirt cheap! seriously, its a steal... if you are thinking this might be up your alley then id recommend it highly. It addicted me super quick with zilch regrets! (p.s. banger goofy music!)

Fun but buggy as hell. Most of buttons doesn't work for me. Creatures randomly disappear.

The idea for this game is interesting but the gameplay is pretty bad. A lot of the monster effects don't seem to work as written and the basic mechanics for the game are very simple. I didn't go into this game expecting much balance but I was surprised when the game allowed me to make an invincible monster immediately as well as another that upon being placed on the field wins the encounter instantly. I realize the game is $6 so some folks might see a decent value prop but I simply didn't enjoy it. With more polish maybe it will become better.

Sad about this purchase. So far. No tutorial. No intuitive gameplay. Lots of bugs. It's just not a good experience. When I saw this game promoted originally I was excited cause it looked weird-good. But nope. Hope this isn't all there is to GUG. :/ ??? Devs? Any updates would be great if there's fixes / answers coming? Thanks.
