Saving Punyville

[h1]Before I played Saving Punyville, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]

"Saving Punyville" is a poorly-designed, free-to-play, indie RPG dungeon crawler, at least according to the devs. In reality, this is a very basic, poorly made 2D top down twin-stick shooter with lightweight RPG elements glued on with library paste. The storyline involves a disillusioned person trying to save the townspeople of Punyville, who were captured in a nearby "dungeon". What do you do in the game? Topdown shooting through pixelcrap dungeons with a goal of "rescuing" other pixel blobs. None of this is implemented well, the gameplay here is worse than the visuals. This features really godawful pixelcrap "art" instead of real graphics. It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to do the job of creating 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter. What matters is that this looks much worse than most other games because of that decision, and that's a major deterrent to gamers. Games like Terraria and Stardew Valley succeeded [i]despite[/i] the bad graphics, not because of them. On the matter of pricing and value for gamers, most "free" games on Steam aren't really free. There's often nasty mobile app cash shops, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, or any other number of shady pricing schemes 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, or something you might want to spend your time on. Despite having no up-front cost, this failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 9 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? Not this time. This isn't worth downloading. While this won't cost you any money, you get what you pay for, and sometimes, even when the game is free, it's still not enough.

dear game developers, i love your game. its really cool and i think you should make more games like this. from SPooderman23.

Can't sell items at all... yeah I'm not really a fan... feels like a scuffed bullet hell more than a dungeon crawler
