I mean the premise is good and the gameplay is funny, but the humor is hit and miss (mostly hits but the misses are big swings) and the AI music, while only being in a couple levels (as far as I know), was really difficult to listen to.

I haven't played the full game much yet but so far I've seen great things. I played the demo like CRAZY at Washington State Gaming Expo and it reignited my sokoban addiction. If you like interesting mechanics, lots of objects to interact with, and cool story, this is the game to try

This game scratches that itch. You know what I'm talking about. Go play it right now

This game is super silly and kooky. I saw it at PAX West 2025 and instantly fell in love with the graphics. It's going to be great following it through Early Access :)

The surrealist peg popper of my dreams. All hail my goat asbestos

It's really fun so far! Definitely try it out with a bunch of friends so you can experience a great amount of chaos. There's only one map like the description says but the enemies and the loot change up so it still feels fresh. Definitely keeping an eye on this one

I can tell I'm going to lose so many hours to this. Every part of the game behooves the player to interact with it and try out new stuff. Incredible game design and I can't wait to see how this game continues to develop. Very inspirational in terms of how I want to make my own game work.

I'll be honest, the game has promise. It really does! However, I think it needs more polish in terms of game design. The concept is there, yes, but it almost seems like there's too much going on. Here's my list of things that I took issue with and here's how I would improve them:

- as a player, I didn't feel incentivized to use the multiple slots. If I kept building up one slot, it felt like the others were backups and I never used the third slot. The fact that there's a bonus for doing the same thing twice in one slot (i.e. a double pair) makes me want to do the double pair instead of one pair in two slots. I could be wrong late-game, but early game I just didn't see an immediate plus for it. I would maybe make the slots purchase-able, because it's easy for a player to start out with one slot and want to expand as they continue to get more dice.

- I didn't end up using the dice customization a lot because it's easy to reach the score goal without it. If I reach the score goal easily without modifying the dice, then as a player, I don't want to modify them. I appreciate that the player can modify them on the fly, but I think the player should be forced to modify them or something to make the modifications more prevalent in the overall gameplay loop.

- The lack of a score preview doesn't let me effectively strategize and use everything at my disposal. If I could see the score my dice were to make (without doing the math myself), I would be more incentivized to do dice customization.

- I felt like I was meeting the round goal too easily early game. Granted, this is before I discovered there was a set difficulty, but I felt the same as I increased it. I didn't have to think a lot to pass the round goal, and as someone who enjoys puzzles, I really wanted to strategize more to reach the goals.

I probably forgot some points, but that's what I mainly got out of it. This game seems great for someone who likes to explore different features and try a lot of stuff, but as a player who's main focus is meeting the round goal and being forced to add mechanics to help or hinder my way towards reaching the goal, it doesn't feel satisfying to me quite yet.

At the end of the day, we are all Alan

Please make sure to explore this game as thoroughly as you can because there's so much to discover in such a microcosmic experience. From my perspective, I encountered a game that is a fantastic love letter to the "AI of yesterday" and how our technological forefathers had such optimism for its eventual birth. This game makes me hope we do achieve true AI and learn to work together in awesome harmony.

Play this game if you like to ponder existential questions, have a love of corporate satire, cats, glitchcore, and retro tech, enjoy non-conformity, or just enjoy thought experiments.

And remember, think happy :)
