SUPER 56

I really love the concept of this game, but the overall pacing is absolutely unbearable. It's going for a Wario Ware type of feel, but there's so much menu stuff happening in between stages, and some stages go on for far too long, that the pacing has waaaaay too much downtime for a game that should be much more fast-paced. Also I had no idea multiplayer was pass-and-play and not simultaneous, like I'm literally shocked and dismayed that this is the case, how fun would it be to have up to 8 people all crammed around a keyboard trying to play this like a game of Twister? Or how about this lovely "super button" thing that came with my 8bitdo keyboard that's just two giant red buttons, would be the perfect controller for two players to play this together, and if I'm being honest that's exactly what I envisioned when I bought this. It's a shame I waited to long to play it, otherwise I would refund it in an instant. This absolutely did not meet my expectations, and I wasn't really expecting much.

[h1] We have Warioware at home. [/h1] [h1] The Good [/h1] We all know Warioware: the series of games that is essentially a collection of wacky bite-sized microgames. This is it, but on PC. First off, the core gameplay is so easy to grasp. You’ve got 56 mini-games, all controlled by one button. You tap, hold, or mash that single button to do everything from riding a kart and skipping stone, to controlling a Roomba riding cat in its attempt to clean a room and killing demons with a double-barreled shotgun Doom-style. The humor mostly hits the mark, at least for me. The game’s set in Hell where demon roommates bicker about chores and existential dread, and the writing is packed with gaming meme references and fourth-wall breaks. It's funny most of the time, but depending on when you play this, some of those jokes can be outdated (we all know how quickly memes fade into obscurity). Replayability is there. There are daily challenges, leaderboards, and achievements to unlock. What I do like, is that besides the "classic mode" where you have to play through the game 1 up to 56 each time you lose, you have modifiers that can randomize the games offered to you. The customization options for your profile are a nice touch too. You'll even spot a few familiar faces if you played the previous game by this dev. You unlock those by playing the games and leveling up.  https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3429676808 [h1] The Bad [/h1] I'll be honest, even if there are 56 games, I can't say that all of these are equally fun. Some of these are super fun and easy to understand: destroy a car as a schoolgirl uniform-wearing grandpa (Street Fighter reference btw) or split lanes riding a car (like that one game on Protech's Pro 200, yes, I'm THAT old). Some of those are boring or really hard: how "skip the dialogue" game sound? Not that exciting I bet. The stone-skipping game was super frustrating by having extremely precise timing. You can imagine what happens as the gameplay gets progressively faster. Then there’s the soundtrack. The main theme is a catchy, hellish jingle that sounds like a carnival band trapped in a haunted elevator. It’s fine…for the first half an hour. But when you’re replaying the same mini-game for the 15th time, that loop starts to feel like psy-op. I’d kill for a jukebox mode or even just a second track. Instead fire up Spotify and put on my own funky tunes. The difficulty spikes are brutal, too. One minute you’re breezing through silly mini-games like "Take a clear photo of a dude's head" to eat a bunch of marbles as a giant head competing with the other 3 heads. It’s like the game can’t decide if it wants to be a party game or a masocore challenge. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3429676786 [h1] The Ugly [/h1] From what I gathered, at launch, Super 56 forced you to navigate everything with one button. Want to quit? Too bad! You had to play a mini-game just to exit to the main menu. It was “quirky” at first but quickly became infuriating. Thankfully, the devs patched in D-pad support, but it’s still clunky. The “retry” button is buried like a secret level, and some menus take ages to load because…why not add unskippable demonic laugh tracks to every screen? The lack of a proper tutorial is another headache. Sure, half the fun is figuring out what the heck you’re supposed to do in each mini-game, but when you’re stuck on a cryptic objective, a hint button would’ve been nice. "But there is a hint book!" I hear you say. Uh yeah, for ACHIEVEMENTS. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3429676777 In conclusion, this is a mess, but mostly fun mess. At $6.99, Super 56 is a steal for anyone who loves chaotic, unpredictable gameplay. It’s not perfect - some mini-games overstay their welcome, the UI is still janky, and the soundtrack will haunt your dreams, but the sheer creativity and replayability make it worth the price of admission. Just go in with the right expectations: This isn’t a polished Nintendo title. It’s a scrappy, unapologetically weird indie game that feels like it was made by a group of friends who dared each other to keep adding weirder ideas. And honestly? That’s part of its charm.

A nice collection of 56 minigames, with an honestly nice and absurd story with 90s vibes, and all playable with just 1 button, it's perfect for what it is.

A collection of mini-games packed with humor. Most games only require a press or hold the spacebar in time to complete. Each level-up is accompanied by silly or absurd dialogue, Zombie John is funny. Plus, the game menu comes from a butt on the screen LOL. The mini-games contain a wide range of genres. My favorites are: - Doom-like FPS with a mini boss. - Seagull to poop on people’s heads. - Hole in the Wall. - Phoenix Wright-like game, you can even present your underpants as evidence. - Hedgehog running game. - Retrieving a tennis ball against a dog. - Train stop game and you can drop passengers into a pool. - Falling off the edge of a car, proving the Earth is flat. And more. What makes this collection shine are the hidden funny achievements in each mini game, I especially love the “Gone in 30 Seconds,” a nod to the Nicolas Cage classic Gone in 60 Seconds, a fantastic movie. By default, the mini-games follow a set order, but as you progress you can play them randomly or skip. I finished the entire game in about 2.5 hours, then spent extra to unlock funny achievements. This game is a blast and well worth the time for laughs. [u] [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/43342176-Why-Not-Games/#browse] My curator page[/url][/u]

シュールな雰囲気のミニゲーム集。 ゲーム中には怪しい日本語がかなり出てきますが意図的なもののようで、ストーリーやメニュー等の日本語はしっかりしています。 大量のパロディが盛り込まれているバカゲーですが、システム面は丁寧に作られておりやり込み甲斐があります。 サーバーが終了しているようで現在はゲーム内ランキングが機能していませんが、それを差し引いてもオススメの作品。

Well it could have been fun. Sadly this game freezes for absolutely no reason literally all the time, in the minigames, in the menu, in the leaderboard. Having to force close the game every 5 minutes took me out of it.

I bought 'SUPER 56' as it reminded me a lot of one of my favorite PSP titles 'Hot Pixel' a minigame galore that gave you a bunch of weird, but cool short games to run through while trying not to lose all of your lives. I obviously could've compared it to the 'WarioWare' series, but I have never touched those titles, but I should probably do that now. The story revolves around you a human who goes on a cultural exchange program down to hell, quite literally, but don't worry you get paired up with Kronos and Brones who might be a little confused and might not want you around at first, but they need your help. You are then given the task to beat the illustrious 'SUPER 56' because the one doesn't even have fingers while the other one is tired of pressing buttons from work. Oh and we gotta get to S rank before their terrible neighbor does. As the title suggests there are indeed 56 little minigames to run through and they all involve using a singular button. Quite the neat idea and spin on an already existing concept. You'll be tasked with mashing, holding, or simply pressing, heck maybe even all of them depending on the game. I mean it feels well considering it's on one button. Oh you can scroll through menus using your DPAD as using the menu with a singular button can somtimes be clunky. This isn't gonna be everyone's cup of tea, so if it looks like something you're not gonna like you might just wanna skip it. But if this is something that does interest you, it is a weird little blast. You have tons of minigames to go through, an actual story, daily challenges, multiplayer, and a staggering 81 total achievements to take you hours to get through. It doesn't sound like it would have enough to keep you going, but it certainly does. I obviously would recommend it, I got it on sale for $3, but the regular price is still worth it with the hours of gameplay you're gonna get.

Bafflingly bad. Humor doesnt land for me, many of the minigames are too focused on being quirky and not on being fun, UI cant get out of its own way and slows down everything.
