Reviews for Piñata Poppers

[xXxDbearxXx]

is there an option to turn off the music?

UnitedFailures responds:

Not at the moment, but most browsers support muting the tab if you right click on it. I'll add a volume slider in the next update though.

Edit: Oh, I just noticed if you lose and restart it'll start without music! So that's one way lol. (This will also be patched in the next update)

A decent Suika Game clone with some nice art and effects (I like the fusing animation), but nothing exactly memorable at the moment as it's essentially just a reskin. I was hoping that the pinata theme might mean that there is something about breaking them or whatever to add a bit of unique spice, but no, it's ultimately just a visual theme without gameplay consequence.

The game is also a bit glitchy as I got a double game over, once when the game ended and then again shortly after when I was on the title screen and I guess the game kept going? Also the score text is a bit too difficult to read as its bright yellow on bright blue: better contrasting colors or outlines would help here.

At the end of the day, it feels like the kind of mobile game that is made to trick older folk into buying thinking it's the original, or the kind of game you make for your programming 101 class as a first step into game dev. Not bad, but not good either, just serviceable.

UnitedFailures responds:

I appreciate the constructive feedback :)

We originally had a pinata breaking mechanic but removed it because it disrupted the natural difficulty escalation of the game. Maybe will bring it back if we think of a good way to integrate it in.

Our next update that we'll release this weekend will mostly just be implementing the feedback provided by other commenters and patching some bugs (like the one you experienced o_o). Updating the score text is also a good suggestion, I'll take a look at that.

Physics can get really evil.
Overall, okie game, except it can get really repetitive after a while

Played a few times, and encountered quite a few clipping issues. And for some reason the entire pot would randomly explode and send every item inside flying into the air causing an instant loss?
Alright as far as suika goes, but I feel like there's been a few of these lately, and this one doesn't offer anything new.

Soooo... It's another suika game clone?

2.5 For cool art.
