What The Hack!

I absolutely love the artstyle. Gameplay is good and smooth, not alot of bugs, some textures are see through and u can glitch yourself in elevators but its still minor issues. Game is short, well made, pretty good music and sound effects and its hard but not impossible. still for me its 10/10 i hope they make a sequel or something with lore maybe.

If you want to be an robot vacuum for a day and save the world than this is the game for you! A few levels to play for a hour of entertainment =)

Short and sweet.

This game was so fun to play! Love that I got to cosplay as a robot vacuum and try to escape. Loved the soundtrack, loved the style, can we have some more please? Needs a full game for sure!

This is yet another student project, one of literally thousands self-published on Steam Direct. It's from Hogeschool West-Vlaanderen in Europe. Student projects might look better than amateur shovelware, but they aren't real games. This is just a glorified homework assignment. It lacks the depth and value you get from professionally developed product because it was made for a grade, not for players. Schools, colleges and universities shouldn't be using Steam to show off student projects. It might be fine for the school's marketing, but it clutters the Steam store with pollution... we have to sort past all these short student tech demos just so we can find real, full games from professional developers. This is a case of a game dev college putting its own interests before the interests of gamers. This is one of those student projects that's a little heartbreaking because with a lot more polish and a lot more content, it would be a winner, beating a lot of other paid products on Steam. A fun enough concept, you control a robot in a mildly comedic facility where you have to escape and not get erased, which means first person platformer/obstacle puzzling, and hacking stuff... there's a lot to like, but not enough of it, and it lacks polish and optimisation. Because, as a student project, they got their grades and walked away, this is unmaintained. Problems with it will never be fixed. The game is quite short, and can be run through in just an hour. The lack of content here makes it hard to suggest it's worth spending the time to add to your library and download. The graphics in this game are really quite good, while low poly graphics are usually worth avoiding, they added enough lighting and post-processing to hide the flaws, which at least makes the game look more appealing. And while it's vital for any game to have impressive visuals (gaming is a visual medium, after all), there's more to a game than just the graphics. To be worth a gamers time, the game must match top tier visuals with top tier gameplay, and that's not happening here. Let's talk about price and the value this represents for us gamers. It would be unethical for students to try charge money for their homework assignments, so you don't have to pay any money for this. But you'd still have to spend your time downloading this, and "time is money", as they say. There's the other problem, too... as a student project, this wasn't made for gamers. There's no requirement for them to polish and balance the game properly, all they need is something to show the faculty so they can get their grade and move on. Let's once more ask... why is that good for gamers? It's obviously not delivering a solid product. Yet here it is, on the store page, and here you are, reading my review for a student demo that's going to waste your time. While genuine amateur developers who made real products get ignored because they have to compete with this stuff. In some ways, this deluge of student projects on Steam is harmful to everyone. Even as a free game, this couldn't find an audience. With a peak of [b]only 12 players[/b], it's clear the Steam community took one look and walked away. They literally couldn't pay people to spend time playing this. 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? This is a "maybe" experience... if you have a lot of free time on your hands and nothing else to do, why not? But for the purposes of a review, this isn't something I can say everyone must try. It's not quite there. Valve doesn't give us a "maybe" option in reviews, but if they did, that's what I'd choose for this.
