Steam reviews

What players say

Most players recommend this nostalgic, largely unchanged port of the free browser game, though many feel the paid version adds little beyond achievements and controller support.

Most players recommend the game, and many talk about childhood memories of playing it at school or watching YouTubers, so nostalgia is the main draw. Players enjoy the chaotic physics, the gruesome ragdoll deaths and the level editor, where they build levels and play those shared by others. Many complaints focus on the lack of change: the port is essentially the browser version, with the same interface, no new characters and no updates to the level editor. Some players point out that it remains free to play on the website, and some find the price hard to justify for that reason. Several UK players report that the online service only works with a VPN, and a few have refunded. Reviews from the last year are more mixed than the overall positive score, with several players saying the game becomes repetitive after a few minutes.

Criticised

  • Almost unchanged from the browser

    Players say the port adds only achievements and controller support, with the same interface and content as the free website version.

    Many players
  • Paid for a free game

    Players say paying for something still free on the website is hard to justify, while others find the price fair.

    Some players
  • Dated interface and no updates

    Players criticise the old level editor interface, the missing new content and the lack of quality-of-life improvements.

    Some players
  • Online requirement and UK access

    Players report that the game needs an internet connection and that UK players need a VPN, which led to refunds.

    A few players
Who it suits
