    Just saw this game yesterday and thought the concept was pretty neat, but after playing it, it felt lacking. I only did a handful of runs and I was already losing interest in continuing. The gameplay felt very repetitive and dull after the first 3 attempts. I couldn't help but compare it to other roguelites I've played and very much enjoyed. Games like Isaac and Gungeon, every playthrough almost immediately felt new and refreshing, however I could not say the same for this game. Every…

    This looks like I game I would have really liked, but sadly, it is not. The concept is fundamentally flawed by which you have to dash into enemies to hurt them but enemies deal contact damage to you, but that contact damage is slightly delayed. When there are a ton of enemies on screen, you are never going to pass through them all and inevitably take a hit. There is an upgrade that you can get which pushes away enemies when you dash into them that it seems like something you should always…

    So far so great! I really like that we have to figure things out as we go! As the player, you choose where to go, what upgrades to get, and what kind of attack you'd like to do. It gives the roguelike a refreshing take. The only thing that bothers me is the repetitive areas. So far I've only been in the first area, but somehow the enemies keep hitting me with my umbrella protecting me. So that's about the only thing I'd fix.

    +Semi OK movement/gameplay; does something uniqueish -Visually unclear -Non-standard resolutions available, but not e.g. 4k. Why would you even offer 2560x1080? -Levels felt grindy, repeat the same thing. Scoot on enemies. After the fifth similar room with nothing changing, I was already bored. = Disappointed. I would not recommend the game for myself, so I won't do it to you either.

    TLDR: Lots of potential, but not quite worth a purchase just yet. A very good start, but could be better and definitely needs a lot more substance to be truly worth a purchase. Could just be a skill issue, but the game could definitely use accessibility options, because currently anything other than the starting umbrella is just unplayable for me personally without being able to remap jump to W instead of space. The game reminds me a lot of Neon Abyss in aesthetics and gameplay, which is…

    Game can feel repetitive and a bit boring at times, I gave it my best shot but I just couldn't get interested. Good concept but could use some work.

    Eu raramente faço reviews mas acredito que esse merece algumas palavras pois eu acredito que vocês tem muito potencial. Conheci o jogo diretamente pela Karlla, durante uma apresentação sobre a GJ+, adorei a apresentação do jogo e eu curto roguelike, então pensei, porque não? Antes de mais nada, visuais LINDOS, mecânicas super interessantes e sobretudo acredito que seja um jogo extremamente adorado por quem fez. Contudo entretanto porém todavia... Temos que ser não só viáveis a quem montou e a…

    This game has some really fun ideas. Combat is fast, sharp and responsive. So far I'm having a good time.

    A very fun arcade where you need to lock in sometimes. Five overall weapons you need to complete the runs with in order to acquire all achievements, a couple of upgrade paths you can go for to spice it up. Grinded for a couple of days, got a hang of it, completed it. Satisfied, though I would prefer if there was a different cutscene at the very end and a credits roll or a victory screen, and also the umbrellas you had completed a run with should get check marked or something to avoid…

    If this game is like $1-3 on sale, sure maybe try it. It's OK, but far from perfect. The gameplay design feels kind of flawed. You attack enemies by dashing at them, shooting at them (with limited ammo that refills by killing enemies), or you can float down on an enemy while pointing your umbrella at them. The dash attack feels sloppy. It's super easy to dash at a enemies and get hurt at the end of the dash. Maybe you started too soon and didn't go all the way through them. Or as you flew…

    Um jogo bom e satisfatório, não é um de se jogar mais de 10 horas, a não ser que no modo infinito, ou vá desbloquear tudo (que precisa matar o boss final com todas as armas).

    Hellbrella, developed by Icy Mountain Studios and published by GoGo Games Interactive, is a fast, chaotic roguelite that turns a deliberately absurd premise into a surprisingly refined action experience. Casting the player as a raincoat-wearing cat wielding an umbrella while diving through the depths of hell, the game immediately signals that it values style, momentum, and personality just as much as mechanical challenge. What initially appears whimsical quickly reveals itself to be a tightly…

    A unique roguelike based around umbrellas. I only got to the second umbrella and I just have to say that the first umbrella is leagues ahead of the second in every aspect. Zipping around through the levels with the first umbrella is extremely satisfying. The second is a gun that basically runs out of ammo constantly and then your just kind of ♥♥♥♥♥♥. I would have liked the builds to get a bit more wacky and after nearly an hour I found myself just auto clicking through the upgrades as they…

    Got sponsored to play and promote but ended up getting a copy of the game for my husband and 5 other friends. its actually fun and i really want to see more games like this or even more game from the dev team. the boombrella is the best to use to get eyes to get upgrades and the bubblebrella is the best for the boss. the skins are nice and the music just hits right.

    Unique game. Unusual, fast, and fluent movement, fighting, and vibe. But it was too short. I didn't expect only a single stage, and it ended rather abruptly. There are 5 unique umbrellas with specific in-run upgrades. Each one requires unique gameplay, but I mostly played only the first one you need to unlock - gun umbrella. The second (bubbles) felt too slow and hard to master. The third one unlocked with my first successful run - and I don't feel any drive to continue playing. At least for…
