AspiringCurious's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Happy Corp. [Alpha] [Updated 5/14/2024]]

It seems good. A small twist to the arkanoid formula. Still needs a bit of balancing with the money, bet the idea is to get the highest possible amount, but I'm not sure if tying money into lives is a good idea, because it only keeps you on your toes on the first two levels. Not the deepest dystopian tale but it works really well for the game concept. Also, I got a weird glitch, were I got like the bomb and piercing powerups and all the building in the 3rd level just decided to dissapear, and got a hell of a ton of lag.

I still need to work out balancing the game. I released it as is, because I really just want people have fun with it. But the meta-joke of the game is that Happy Corp. takes 99% of the money and makes you pay to work.

The bomb is a bugged, but I thought it was funny. I think adding a clear screen and waiting a few seconds would fix the issue. I'm not sure why it effects the new levels, but it basically clears a few stages.

Story wise, it's not very rich. I haven't dug too far into that part, but I do need to add a mission statement for some context.

But thanks for playing. Just wanted to see what people reactions are to the gameplay itself.
