Papered

If the game weren't a raw piece of ♥♥♥♥ and were actually fun to play — with different weapon tiers, more upgrades, and more interesting and smarter enemies — then you could even confidently sell it. The theme and style of the game are actually pretty cool.

Very Dumb. VERY unfinished. But has a lot of fun potential! There's no time for an explanation, {or even a start menu apparently} there's paper bastards to kill! Every punk you chop up turns to fragments, which are the upgrade currency for your weapons/stats/skills. The baddies are endless, so the only goal is to survive as long as possible. The artstyle is crappy in the best possible way, and the paper dudes getting chopped up is a nice touch. Your vision also gets chopped as you take dmg. So the concept and look are great, BUT this currently has major gameplay issues: #1 First and most important....not only can you NOT pet the cat, but you ACTUALLY HURT IT?!?!? This atrocity needs to be corrected ASAP! {or at least made optional} #2 As I said before, there's no start menu, it just throws you into it...and you'll immediately get your butt handed to you...This will either make players scream: "WTF IS THIS ####?!?!" or "ope, guess we're doing this!....well that was quick. Wonder if I can do better?" A start menu/brief explanation could mitigate that 1st reaction. Also, if there's a way to exit the game, I didn't find it, had to alt+F4...so the overall menu interface needs to...exist. #3 The stat upgrades make things a bit easier, but while HP boosts well, it seems like the ATK/speed boosts are barely worth bothering with...HP and ATK also have 100 LEVELS EACH, they probably don't need that many, and I dunno who would grind that much. So the upgrades need adjusting still. #4 The skills are ok, but the cage should probably keep things out as well as in. Could also use more weapon variety. {^ these gripes are minor tho} #5 There needs to be some kind of spacing between the player and the enemies, as they can get DIRECTLY onto you, which makes them very hard to hit. They should probably have sound as well so you can gauge if they're sneaking up behind you. #6 As I'm writing this the enemies seem unable to jump. [spoiler]You can use this to make the battle ENTIRELY one-sided in your favor.[/spoiler] ^That's all, but the game is early access, and these issues should all be improvable! {Also, a difficult survival game like this could stand some achievements to make the effort worthwhile eh?} I messed around with it for about 30min, and flaws aside, was having fun! I hope the dev continues to polish it up. As is, it's a dorky mess, but after some improvements I'll gladly come back and rip some more doodle dudes to bits!
