60 of 197 · most liked first★ — 8/10 Questionably "funny" dialogue but still a fun experience I really liked the art style of The Spiral Scouts which initially caught my interest and made me want to play it. I didn't look anything about the game up prior to playing it so I really had no idea what to expect when I started the game other than there being puzzles to solve and I have to say, I definitely didn't expect what the game delivered. It's "childish" look is really deceiving so don't get fooled by it like I did…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Puzzle design: Great! There's some really fun puzzles, and some of them are pretty dang challenging. Art and music: Great! Everythings got a neat aesthetic, and its fun seeing the visual themes played with. Narrative: This is the most meanspirited game I've ever played. I signed up for a puzzle game with some ♥♥♥♥ and fart jokes and I got a game where the humor is just relentless mockery of people instead of actual jokes. Cursing is used as a crutch for comedy. Its really kind of sad. This…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Have you ever ordered your favorite meal at a new restaurant but they just drowned the thing in hot sauce? It's great when you can taste it, very competently made, it even looks nice, but when you actually dig in that one flavor overwhelms everything? That's what this game is like. What would have been a great dish, you can see something wonderful poking out at times, but entirely drowned out by the constant flood of horrible writing. The art style is great, the puzzles are constantly trying…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wanted to like it because I like puzzles and the graphic design reminded me of playing Paper Mario when I was younger, but the dialogue and the humor is just unbearable and crass. But it really crossed the line for me with the graphic jokes about sexual violence and domestic violence. Beyond unfunny.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Look, everybody's going to come to their own conclusions on this game's humor. However, I see most other reviewers saying that the puzzles are good. Maybe I'm just a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ nerd I but this isn't a good puzzle game. Let me explain. If you're going to make a puzzle game, you usually make a few core mechanics that you craft puzzles with. As the game goes on, you expand this set of mechanics in order to make these puzzles more interesting. There's a bit more to it but those are the basics. The…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun to solve and challenging puzzles, nostalgic Paper Mario-like art style, bright colors and enjoyable music makes the Spiral Scouts an excellent choice. Its a great adventure puzzle game with the worst humor you will ever imagine. + Beautiful graphics remind me of Paper Mario. + Puzzles are really fun to solve. + Character design is great. + Music is enjoyable. + Colorful. + It´s really cheap for what it offers. - The humor, its pretty bad. - Seriously just skip every dialog...
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pros: -Charming art style -Puzzles can be legitimately engaging -Short Cons: -Characters are just generally obnoxious douchebags -Puzzles can be profoundly obtuse -Leans way too hard on the idea that swearing a cuss is funny all on its own I wanted to like this game, I really did. But the game just has a general bad attitude that's sort of offputting; it thinks it's being lighthearted about it, but it's really not. The art is fantastic and unique, and I'm not saying there's no place for…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yes, I do recommend this game, but with certain conditions. This is a very crude/adult game. If you are sensitive to vulgar language/sexual subjects/drug abuse/etc. don't play it. if you can see past the over-the-top subject matter and enjoy the cool art, nice music, interesting puzzles, and such, then you'll enjoy it. I did need a guide on occasion because it wasn't always obvious what the player needed to do. All in all, I enjoyed it well enough, though I will say the crudeness went a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Spiral Scouts is a puzzle game at heart, focusing on giving you only little hints and relying on your own capabilities to decipher patterns and observe the environment. Although the puzzles were fun and there was a lot of dark and mature humor I enjoyed, hands down my favorite aspect was the strong callbacks to Paper Mario: through the environment, game design, sounds, this game was weirdly nostalgic for me in a way I didn't know would be possible, and I admire the dev team for capturing that…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Spiral Scouts is definitely its own thing – a quirky puzzle adventure. The puzzles are genuinely clever – some well-designed head-scratchers that feel good to solve. The art style has a certainly charming, hand-crafted feel. The music fits the weird vibe well enough. And then there's the Outstanding Artistic Writing and Exceptional Narrative Design By which I mean: it's not just bad, it's a relentless firehose of juvenile vulgarity and pure cringe. Think middle school locker room "jokes"…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Rating:2/10 Completion difficulty:4/10 Do you like jokes where the whole punchline is "woah, that's gross / rude"? The humor in this game will be a lot more aligned with your tastes than mine. I rolled my eyes basically the whole time while playing this game because they can't stop making stupid jokes, with only a few that have any actual comedic potential in my opinion. The puzzles are decent but very plain and overdone, and you can't get through two before being subjected to another joke.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First off, let's talk about the good parts of this game. This game has some of the most difficult and intellectually challenging puzzles known to mankind, the music is great and the aesthetics are wonderful. It reminds me of Paper Mario. I like these aspects of the game, it shows there is thought involved in this game. Now for the bad part. Peepee poopie fart penis. Peepee poopie fart penis. Huniepop 1 had its share of depravity and raunchiness, but the "humor" in Spiral Scouts is way over…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like fart jokes and puzzle solving, they are good, but sexist jokes get quickly irritating.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wanted to like this game, but (or should i say butt) the second puzzle is to fart in someone's face by eating a "butt-nutt fruit" and it only gets worse from there.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Spiral Scouts is a puzzle adventure game where you play as a new Spiral Scout known as Remae, who goes around helping people with whatever tasks they need help with. The puzzles in this game are fine. They're not too difficult, but they provide enough of a challenge. The exploration is also fine. There are a fair bit of map locations that have their fair share of charm, along with the game's nice-looking graphics. The music also isn't half bad, even if I wouldn't listen to it after…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is horrifically unfunny, relying on a cutesy artstyle with swearing to try to be "funny"
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Acquired from Humble Monthly. I would have loved this when I was 11. Not so much now. Painfully unfunny and cringey "gross-out" dialogue. I love sick humor as much as the next person but this is not intelligent, just juvenile.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Reviewers saying the jokes are '"dark humour" clearly don't understand what that actually means. Terrible dialogue that a classroom of twelve year olds could improve. Because it was written by ten year olds.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ok so game looks like this... Walk around gathering various items. Use them in specific locations. There's much attention put into wacky humor and plenty of dialogs with weird inhabitants of this wicked world. Visual style resemble of Paper Mario series where everything is essentially made out of cardboard cutout. Overall it's exploration puzzle game with plenty of walking. Can't tell I enjoyed this one but it have some dongo value. Not recommended.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Puzzles are fine, art direction is fine. Dialogue is absolute trash. Painfully unfunny is the best i can describe it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →disturbing dialogs, ruined the game for me. offensive words is their peak comedy. disgusting
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is like if Conker's Bad Fur Day had a baby with Paper Mario. It's incredibly weird, but a ton of fun. Clever puzzles and good music too.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The puzzles in this game are pretty enjoyable, but boy was is crude. I'm almost disappointed there's no an uncut version with very very terrible puzzles that aren't safe for work at all. Perhaps another time.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Stepped into this game knowing nothing about it at all, not even genre. Was surprised by the language and course humor given the graphics style. Got into the puzzles (it's a puzzle game), and really enjoyed those. They were a great balance of difficulty for me. I was able to completed all of them without getting stuck to the point where I felt like I was wasting time or needed to look something up, but I spent a good amount of time noodling over some of them. Others were fairly trivial.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Space owl always spitting facts
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I solved two puzzles. Then I quit the game. Visuals? Cute. Puzzles? Probably pretty good! I only did two, though, because... The humor? It was so bad. I have no issue with crude humor, but this was cringeworthy the entire time. It was entirely juvenile yet completely inappropriate for an actual juvenile. It had so much potential to be appealing on all fronts and then it just... ugh. I can overlook a lot by way of dialogue or story if I enjoy everything else about a game but this one…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just want to start with a disclaimer. If you don't like or are offended by "potty" humor, then stay far away from this game. It's riddled with it. That being said, I enjoyed the hell out of it. I enjoy stupid ♥♥♥♥ like that so there were a lot of jokes that made me laugh out loud. There were also jokes that made me just go, "what the ♥♥♥♥? why?" Never was there a joke that made want to drop the game, though. Can't say that others will have that resolve. While the art style of The Spiral…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The puzzles and art style are good, but the humor is almost too crude. I'm generally fine with crude, but it sort of feels like it's punching down and that ends up leaving you with a vague sense of unease and guilt. Oh, and the secret ending is dumb.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pros: - Puzzles were fun and at times could be pretty challenging. - The art style is cute and interesting, and the music usually fit the tone. Cons: - Definitely don't go into this one looking for a good/funny story. I feel like the script was written by a few 10 year olds who just learned the words "f**k" and "s**t". If you want a pretty fun puzzle game that you can completely ignore the story to and watch/listen to something in the background, this may be a game worth looking into.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is stupid. If you are expecting anything remotely high-brow, think again. If you grew up playing puzzle games on Newgrounds with severely immature senses of humour, you may nostalgically enjoy this game. It's childish, it's vulgar, and it's pretty funny if you let the stupidity of it wash over you. The puzzles in this game aren't overly challenging, but are satisfying to complete. I think I got this in a Humble Bundle, I probably wouldn't have paid full price for it. It is worth…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Immature humour that rarely is funny. Unsatisfactory ending because of said "humour" and to 100% the game is just cringy again for the same reason. The last puzzles towards the end make no sense and googling is the only option (why did it resonate the most there of all places?). BUT. Did I enjoy the game? Yes. Yes I did. Excluding the ending ones the puzzles are awesome! I saw some comment about how you need prior knowledge to solve some but I don't agree. The most I can think of is that you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Short-Review Playing through the game i really thought to myself most of the time: who is this game for? It is an adventure or rather solely a puzzle game. There is no story whatsoever. You are hinted for a big revelation at the end but it was another crude ♥♥♥♥ joke. Yeah the whole game is mostly fart and ♥♥♥♥ jokes, and not good ones. It is juvenile humor, but at the same time not made for kids. The artstyle is cartoonish and "cute" yet the gameplay and some puzzles are absolutely brutal.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →enormously fun gameplay, incredible premise, very nice art style, *horrendous* writing. i wish i could give it a thumbs sideways- as is, i suppose i recommend it if youre looking for fun/satisfying gameplay, are good at skim reading cringy text and its on a major discount
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fantastic puzzles, cute art. Exceptionally bad writing. Worth a play if you can pick it up deeply discounted or free. Got it as a humble choice pick.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good puzzle game. Shame about the humor. The game only has one Joke: it's childfriendly facade juxtapositioned against adult themes (really just people swearing a lot and talking about s*x in varying explicit terms). It's funny the first time. But then you have to continue playing the game for ten hours and it doesn't evolve past that.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →good game, good riddles, many bad words and bad words are cool
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game does not seem to work with official wired xbox 360 controllers, even though it is recommended. Multiple people have complained about this since release, but it is still not fixed. This is the first game I've run into where my controller doesn't work.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm going to go ahead and open up by calling this game a flawed gem. The Spiral Scouts warrants a positive review from me because it's one of the only pure puzzle solving games I've ever seen. When I say that, I don't mean games like portal that feature a central mechanic around which puzzles are designed. What I mean is that this games central mechanic is puzzles. Dozens of the things, with no two exactly alike. There's an incredible variety of well designed puzzles throughout the game.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →When you hear "I CAN FEEL IT IN MY RIB CAGE!!!", you think about Alien. I think about this game. We are not the same. Also, Cantaloupe Kids, what the ♥♥♥♥?
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great puzzle game none of them ridiculously hard but some require quite a bit of thought. Very relaxed and flowing. Lots of toilet humour so if fart bum and swear type jokes amuse you then so will this game. Good fun !
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Painfully slow brain teaser game with decent art style and puzzles but writing that targets the kind of low grade morons who laughs at Deadpool jokes before the punchline. I was interested in a game like this with puzzles and adult humor, but it's clearly low effort humor targeted at overgrown children, and the format, while aesthetic, only detracts from whatever clever puzzle design might be present.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i wish the game was longer! really enjoyed :) cute art style and good sound design
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Make sure to have a ton of paper in front of you when playing this and also your phone to take photos of the screen. It's absolutely necessary!!! Ok, onto the review. This game is good. It's definitely hard, but can be really fun. That is, up until the end. The end is nearly impossible, some of the puzzle answers are wrong, and you will 100% need a guide to get the last achievement. Also, some of the puzzles I still, to this day, don't understand. There was so much potential with the game and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Excellent puzzle game with top notch production, funny writing, and tolerable music. The puzzles were mostly interesting with a few obscure solutions and I really hated the final quest to find hidden objects - I wish there was a way to track if there is a hidden object on the screen to find otherwise finding 30 objects would be impossible without a guide (I used a guide). That's only really for the completionists anyway. The humor was a bit crass at times and didn't serve the story; most of it…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →When you see the images of The Spiral Scouts it looks kid friendy but it's not. The game have a lot of innuendo and it's fun, for non kids. To complete mission / badges you need to solve puzzles, some are easy and some really crazy. I really liked this game and recommend it. Have a nice "butt juice" folks.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I just couldn't go through with the dialog for too long...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Couldn't stand the dialog, characters, or art style long enough to get to any particularly interesting puzzles. It's a pretty boring time.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This was a really fun little game. I loved the look and the characters and how almost all puzzles were solvable without pulling out your hair and grabbing for a guide. I would give it five stars but the sophomoric humor pulled everything down for me to 4. All the drug, sex, poop talk was just very cringe worthy. And don't even get me started on that ridiculous ending. It was all very unnecessary and for me kinda ruined this great little game in the end. But hey, I had a lot of fun though. There…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is exactly as advertised ... simple and complex puzzlery in a story book paper doll universe. The story itself is full of adult humour and coarse language.. very much not for the faint of heart. Great game to unwind to, with its limited need for complex movements and abilities.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fine puzzles with balanced difficulty put into a weak story, which gets compensated by many silly dialogues full of postpubescent jokes. Don't forget your pen and paper, it'll be useful there.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Got this in a Humble Bundle or Monthly, never would've gotten this of my own initiative. The writing is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. I can't accurately explain just how terrible it is, I can only recommend you watch gameplay on YT or something. Apparently this was developed by the same team that made Huniepop so that might explain why the all the dialogue and plot is so edgy and juvenile. The puzzles are good, really good. They're decently frustrating, enough that I needed to consult a guide for 1 puzzle in each…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm writing this review after under an hour of game time, and while I wouldn't think that was usually fair, I am very sure that the game isn't remotely appealing to me after that amount of time. Dropping us off right into the game world at a puzzle with zero instructions or text as to what is going on or how to play was a little strange. It seemed like it was an odd way to start us off but it wasn't that difficult of a puzzle and I was okay to figure things out on my own and move on. At this…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There are so many interesting puzzles for this game. No two puzzles are the same, unlike other games. But there is so much adult humor and things that make you question how can something so dark be so cute.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Scouts descend the spiral Secrets coil beneath the earth Down is the only way
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't be fooled by the cutesy graphics, this is definitely an 18+ game - full of immature, dirty, vulgar and often mean jokes that wouldn't be out of place in your average Cards Against Humanity game. You'll probably know whether the humor is for you or not just based on this description. To give just two examples, during the course of the game you're going to be finding pubic hair as a collectible in hidden places and making heroin for the mayor of Bonerville. If you can handle the toilet…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What a dumb game. Dialogues are awful and the puzzles basic and uninteresting. A number of reviews talk about the game being "adult" and "not for kids". It's quite the opposite, really. Only the mind of an 8 year old could think this is "adult", while giggling at the "butt juice", and call puzzles "great" when the game gives you diagrams explaining what you have to do.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The writing and jokes are just cringe, but the rest of the game is a delight.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Decent puzzles, but even as somebody who like crude humor the writing is just unbearable. Imagine South Park, but not funny.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Will give this game another chance once there is an option to mute the annoying dialogue without turning off all SFX.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →every time a character speaks this game hits rock bottom
