    Bug makes the game impossible to finish... Basically, after 20+ hours playing, I can't access the final mission because the game is buggy. Contacted support and help them to find the issue and after a week their solution is "reset the game, and start again" This is the conversation in the forum: https://steamcommunity.com/app/712180/discussions/1/1741094390464039140/ And this is their respone via mail: "We'll pass this along to the team to investigate. Currently the only way to reset your…

    Mugsters An abstract and colorful physics playground of vehicular chaos and acrobatic rescue missions, a single featureless human against alien odds must put his driving skills to the test and break his humanoid brethren free from their extraterrestrial captives. It won't be easy with all sorts of deadly traps and puzzles blocking your path, but through imagination the player will find no end to crazy and interesting ways to break through and commandeer that final beckoning escape airplane at…

    A cool concept, with a nice minimalist take, but ultimately the controls are too finnicky and frustrating for me. Having to carefully rotate the camera around so that the paths I'm trying to follow is in a straight line, so that I can just told down one of the directional keys, doesn't feel right. But it also feels necessary, because a lot of the paths you need to jump through are annoyingly specific, and depth perception on the extremely flat art colours can make it difficult to see elevation…

    [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/32732116-IndieGems/]Follow our curator page: IndieGems if you like and want to see more reviews like this one. Mugsters is a serious high-octane action sandbox puzzler that is fun and exciting. The minimalist and abstract design keeps the focus on the puzzles initially, and you control only this tiny little figure that is trying to accomplish one or more tasks after being randomly dropped onto an island. Not only do you have to accomplish these…

    I give this a 6/10. It's a cool game with lots of fun little physics interactions and puzzles. If you are in the mood for an Indie game with a couple cool concepts, I'd recommend it, especially for its price. However, after an hour in you've pretty much seen everything. Even worse, after the halfway point the game started feeling like the devs ran out of inspiration. Around the halfway point the game was pretty challenging and fun. And then shortly after that, the game got ridiculously easy…

    This is a very cute well made game. I think it would be fun for a goofy game night, maybe with young kids, but for solo-play it gets a bit repetitive.

    Tiny adventure game with isometric view. As small dude stuck on the island collect crystals, save humans and explore your way around. Each island offer some unique set of puzzles, platforming and exploration. Drive cars or crash them into generators and other things to blow stuff. Throw barrels and pick up various objects that might help breaking the walls or just press switch on the ground to open gates. Beware because plenty of mutants chase after you so make sure to escape and fly to another…

    I wanted to like this, but for a silly reason I didn't: the scale of everything on the screen is soooo tiny. I had to sit hunched forward constantly in order to be able to see my own player and what they were doing. Bad design, and very uncomfortable. Also, they fail completely to tell you what your goal is on each level. You should at least know what you are working toward, even if the path there is unclear.

    A fun little co-op puzzle game where you are really tiny but you can still punch jump slam and most importantly solve puzzles, including puzzles like exploding things which are fun to solve BOOM! https://youtu.be/Djhy06T1Clk

    The thumbs up here is just for if you find the game going cheap on sale. I would not pay the full price for it. This is a fun physics puzzle game with lots of big explosions and plenty of dumb aliens to blow up. It should give most gamers a few short hours of entertainment. First problem is that the game is short and feels distinctly rushed. Many of the puzzles are "loose" - that is, you can see what the level designed is trying to achieve but at some point they seem to have given up and just…

    It was fun. Loads of laughs but eventually became too difficult so we gave up. For a $1, you can't vote down.

    Cheap and small game with great potential. Not recommended for casual players since it would be TOO hard, in this game you can only rotate left or right, but you cannot ajust view angle manually. I just played half an hour, I can see the potential, but it I just stopped here. Recommended for anyone seeking for challenges.

    Unplayable! My entire time 'in game' was spent trying to get the controls to function. I was sucessful in getting some movement but there's this persistant ignored zone with diagonals that will not go away. Your character will just stop dead when you try to move diagonally. Refunding now!

    The game has some pretty interesting ways of keeping you entertained. I find it much more easier to play with a gamepad You can even do the whole game together with a partner in local co-op only Your goal si to save the humans collect the crystals and do the level objectives. At first it looks really simple but, well... there are laser guns after you, two headed goons who are simple to defeat with a push of a button, but can be difficult to handle if they are too many at once, all sorts of…

    It's actually a pretty good game. It would be way better if it had online multiplayer so i can play with my friends and blow him up. And If they added some sort of race "to the end" game mode or something like that, with this type of game play with a friend would be so much fun. But as it is its pretty good. 9/10 made a quick video of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdXbFIhE0yY&t=1s

    Mugsters, developed by Reinkout Games and published by Team17 Digital Ltd, is a quirky, physics-driven action puzzle game that thrives on chaos and experimentation. Set in a colorful, low-poly world overrun by alien invaders, the game puts players in control of a lone human survivor—or two if played cooperatively—tasked with freeing captive humans, collecting energy crystals, completing objectives, and ultimately escaping each island. The story is deliberately minimal, serving as a loose…

    I love the puzzles which are challenging, but mostly achievable within a few tries. I don't like that owing to settings I didn't know had been set, I cannot revert to the starting position so can't retrieve all that has been lost in previous play.

    Cool little adventure game with some neat ideas lots of driving and explosions. Coop is okay, Player 1 is the one in control over the camera which can become a problem for the other person but it also changes some puzzles around so you have to work together, so it's not just tacked on. Give it a shot if you're looking for a pick up and play game or some coop fun.

    I've been following development of this game for a while, the developer kindly provided me with a key, but I ended up buying a copy on PS4 too anyway, where I spent most of my time playing. If you enjoyed games like Blast Corps or Body Harvest back on the N64 then this is absolutely a game for you. Lots of different vehicles to enjoy, a range of enemies that must be outsmarted, and a good variety of levels. The frequently destructible environments and physics-based objects add a very fun…

    This is one of Steam's hidden gems. I played through the entire multiplayer over the course of weeks with my friend and we both really enjoyed the surreal vibe and the moments of tough but surmountable tension. I feel no drive to play through the single player but I feel like I got more than my money's worth (bought at full price) from the multiplayer experience. Maybe I'll pick it up again one day, I dunno. Can't wait for Mugsters 2!

    The graphics of the game are really basic, but it looks like a really funny and fun game to play. It's a bit like GTAV plus puzzle solving, but honestly, just watch the video's out there to get an idea about whats waiting for you in-game. I'm not sure how to describe it and had only a short look into it so far, but I feel like going back to it on a weekend, where I have plenty of time, to fully dive into the game and forget about everything around me, because I know it will be heaps of fun…
