Do you enjoy gaming with friends? Well congratulations, you can now watch them fall off cliffs, throw them into tornadoes, and turn them into giant roast birds. Do you have fond memories of shaking magic 8-balls to ask life changing questions? Well now you have a Bing Bong.

(Highly recommend losing friends over this game.)

I have very mixed feelings about this game. I appreciate the amount of tools you are given access to, as it lends more immersion. I love the relaxing music and the ability to take my time going through the game. Most of the time the tasks are very straight forward so I didn't get lost about what I needed to do. However, a lot of the controls just feel clunky to me, and the radial menu for swapping tools is a nightmare. The graffiti between levels gets repetitive, there isn't much variety in the kinds of furniture you get to decorate with. On the levels I managed to get through, as I'm not even finishing this game, the last 2-5% to reach a 100% completion is sometimes very obscure. I spent 30mins on one level hunting for whatever the last 5% was and I finally had to give up, it was impossible to find. I think it's fun to have parts hidden and make players dig a little, but it ultimately it didn't feel fun here. It's not a bad game over all and there is plenty to admire. I'm sure there are plenty of gamers who would have fun, but this one isn't for me.

I got this game for funsies on a whim when it was on sale for my friend and I. Remote play is a little wonky, but who's surprised there? I thought we'd get about an hour or two of fun before we got the swing of mechanics. We played for seven hours straight and still feel like we have a lot to figure out. We couldn't stop laughing. Can't wait to play more.

If you haven't already figured out what this game is, I'm not going to spoil it for you. Just be a great asset to the company and play. And make sure you have four people, it's way more fun that way.

I don't know where to start with this one. Remote play was a nightmare to connect to my friend, control settings inside remote play were a nightmare to deal with, and despite our computer builds being better than recommended for the game specs it was laggy and dropping frames constantly. We spent close to an hour troubleshooting. Even on low graphics, this game was virtually unplayable. It looked like a lot of fun and I spent weeks waiting to play with someone only to be highly disappointed and frustrated. I even tried playing a solo game to see if the problems resolved themselves and it was still horrible. Is it possible that something on our end was making this difficult? Absolutely. But I've played far more demanding games on my computer without any problems so I'm not sure where the disconnect is.

Highly recommended. I get lost in this game for hours without even noticing. It's mostly the thrill of solving a 'puzzle' when I'm dismantling the ships that pulls me in so hard. The humor of the NPCs and the story is also a pull for me.

I got this game in exchange for content exposure, but all things considered... I am excited to see where it goes with development. At this point it has very limited game play but I still have fun (and there are still things to do!). I would suggest wish-listing or just keeping an eye on it for now and waiting for more content or final release, but I have high hopes for the final product!! Though, $9 now to see it go though it's changes first hand doesn't seem like a bad deal.

I got this game for free in exchange for my willingness to create content around it, which I'll be putting on my youtube after I edit the recordings. However, there was no expectation for me to provide a positive review in this agreement. So believe me or don't, that's your choice. But I enjoyed this game! I have an odd relationship with puzzle games like this, and that's usually that I get frustrated and cheat a lot with guides. Not so much on this one! I don't know if I got lucky or if the game was just so well designed to make navigation through the puzzles not so obscure.... The only warning I want to give is that this game has both subtle and not so subtle commentary on social / political / life views. You might not agree with the commentary, or you might. But of course, this game is entirely fictional and any likenesses to real life places or people is totally coincidental. I'm excited to see what else comes from those who made Encodya.

This game made me laugh a whole bunch. Rufus is a scoundrel that you almost hope is going to fail in all of his adventures. Almost, because you actually need him to succeed in order to progress game play. The cut scenes between key moments and the random little concerts you get from some mysterious guitar player are my favorite moments. If you like story/puzzle games, consider this the top shelf option.
