The worst nightmare for true achievement hunters: an unobtainable achievement Don't fill the Gauge! This achievement is here to prevent you from filling achievement gauge to 100%... and die. You can't unlock it. To an e-mail inquiring him about it, the developer answered this way: If your only pleasure when you play a video game is to fill an achievement gauge to 100% then you're perfectly right, don't buy it, it's...

playing this game might actually be bad for you. my head feels really jumbled inside after each session, and i haven't played it for longer than ~20 minutes. 10/10

Several years ago, this game's developer told an innocent poster (and those similar to OP) to seek mental help for their interest in collecting achievements. See for yourself: https://steamcommunity.com/app/272990/discussions/0/522729359018216588/ It is now 2022 and I casually idled this game for 5 minutes just so I can rehash my opinion that this game is trash just like the dev's attitude toward people. I don't...

I got this game from the bundle and noticed that devs attitude is kinda lame. The game for itself was pretty awful and because of the attitude of the dev I really hope nobody buys this game. Removed from library for the rest of my life.

Still not exactly sure what is going on, not sure the game wants me to know whats going on, and I'm okay with that. A very simple, fun and moreish game which plays with your mind as you try your hardest to look at a bar and maintain it's gauge by pressing space/ctrl whilst the game trys to distact you by manipulating the screen and playspace. Some may want to wait for a price reduction if they don't think $4 is...

This game is insane. Do not play if you are photosensitive or otherwise have trouble with quickly moving images or bright flashing lights. The mechanics in this game are simple: hold spacebar to fill a gauge. Then maybe press ctrl to activate a second gauge and then hold ctrl to fill this gauge. If either gauge fills completely, then you lose a life. If either gauge empties completely, you also lose a life. Keeping...

Oh man. You press space bar to fill a gauge and try to get as close as you can to filling it without actually filling it. Sometimes you get to do 2 gauges at once. Soundtrack works for the game, although I was far more focused on the gauge. Gets boring rather quickly. The difficulty remains constant (despite the varying length of the gauge), and the background bombards you with irritating effects. I could see it...

While an simple game at heart, the design choice just caused me eye strain and headaches. Worth trying but I probably won't pop back on to play for the sake of my eyes as sometimes it went a bit nuts. Video Review: https://youtu.be/kshZoJmPaIs

The most primitive game idea (I'd call it a clicker/runner game where you have nowhere to click or run), but implemented with utter ingenious mastery, making it a test for one's neuronal physioligy strength, a piece of psychedelic media art & an enlightment simulator. The coolest parts are those randomly changing visualization patterns & gauge dynamic fluctuations - they seriously challenge player's consciousness &...
