I think I got my WTF moments filled for years to come. That was short and sweet game, but filled with awesome jokes, great nods to other games and confusing, yet entertaining story. Little pricey for 15€ but I support little game companies and I don't think I wasted money on this. Might play this once a year just to remind me of the jokes.

About This Game
Solar Panic is a first-person comedy adventure game. Wake up as Durwood Champney, a sarcastic douche with a vendetta for early morning traffic and follow a true story that we made up. Explore exotic places filled with funny and/or stupid encounters and experience the story of a hungover ex-secret agent. A bit like James Bond without all the coolness and classiness.
Wield powerful top of the line second-hand gadgets from the innovative Tomato Gun to the more sophisticated Sniffer. With inspiration drawn from real life, fake life and artificial life we bring to life the weirdest, wackiest and socially awkward characters. Get in trouble with the pantless ice cream man, make friends with a beggar who wants nothing from you or ignore everybody, we don’t really care.
Features:
- Several jokes that make you blow snot out of your nose.
- Handcrafted world with multiple locations made from first-class pixels.
- Real human sounds and voices recorded in their natural habitat.
- Interactive sound environment and music design.
- Recommended by 4 out of 5 dentists.

10/10 its worth the money. rly unique and cool game, never played sth made with so much creativity. <3
Seriously one of the best games I have ever played! This game made me laugh so much its insane! I want more!!!
Good game. You wouldn't believe how real the story is. Has good gags and open areas to explore for more gags. Fastish playthrough is around 1.5h(Only doing story stuff and not exploring).
Made me think of Jazzpunk in sillyness.
I probably ate one of those shrooms in the game, in real life because I don't have any clue what happened in these 4 hours.
I paid money for this game and they made it free for everyone. I'd like a refund in that case.
This game is really bad, slow, stupid and boring. Every level is so big and yet so empty. Recycled jokes in every level (guy singing about walking on sidewalk, guy singing about swimming, guy singing about sleeping...), annoying sounds (I almost got an heart attack when I collected first crane), and so on. There is nothing what I could put as positive. Should you get this game for full price? Absolutely no. Should you get this game for 2 dollars/euros? Absolutely no. And if you get this game as a gift from friend, it is not your friend and you should stop talking to him/her.
Crude humour. The video and screenshots make the game look like it has a thriving, fun world to walk around in, but it's expansively empty. There's not much to this game and I'm disappointed that it costs so much.
The comedy is trivial, easy to grasp but not loud. It is shallow, but quite interesting at the same time. Those times when everything else feels overwhelming and normal humor feels like a burning dagger in your back, that is the mood you want to be in when you play this. It soothes, with obviousness and a promise of something more. The game is very short, it feels like a very well polished student project, but it is detailed too. However, 15€ is way too much for this, a big discount is recommended.
