Juggler

given how my name is peakjuggler, i feel it should only be fair that i am the first person to write a review for this video game. it is unfair of me to call this a video game when this should be viewed more as an exercise in sisyphean practices. the gameplay loop consists solely of clicking your mouse, and the menu uses your keyboard for no real reason other than the fact that the programmer didnt know how to code a button to change the settings, which is odd, considering the pause menu uses buttons, but the gameplay menu does not. for most of your time playing juggler you will be staring at a sky blue background with the only thing keeping your eyes visually stimulated are the balls in which you are juggling. normally i would praise a video game for making the gameplay so easy to pick up and learn, however there is no substance here. the maximum amount of balls you can juggle at a time is current two, and the pattern that the game starts you off with leads the balls to follow one another rather than taking diverging paths like a real demonstration of juggling. i see this video game as nothing more than a simple tech demo, a programmers first steps into making actual games, which i have no problems with, as i am an aspiring game dev myself. what boggles me however is the fact that 2PUG studios ( the studio which produced juggler ) paid the steam upload fee of $100 to have this game listed on the platform, which they then have the gall to price this game at 4.99. you can buy so many other games with five dollars, especially during the steam summer sale, you could buy geometry dash for 1.99 and have money left over. juggler is a confusing mess as to why it even exists, as the only place you can purchase this game is on the steam marketplace. also the challenges are broken.
