Grabbus

Just like others said, this game is full of potential, from the large and varied pool of weapons, the ability to fuse them with each others and with modifiers, the endless overworld to build, the upgrade tree that goes on forever, to the feeling of the combat, everything in here is really cool and well done. Also the art style and music are really nice, I hope to see more characters and map designs in the future. It has enough to be the kind of game with infinite progress thanks to the map, upgrades and gameplay loop, but it does feel a bit bare bones on others, like the building mechanic and variety of enemies and floors, but they are already addressed on the roadmap, so it has a bright future ahead. Totally recommended to check it out, it's pretty good. Esp: Como otros dijeron, está lleno de potencial, desde el gran y variado arsenal de armas, la posibilidad de fusionarlas entre sí y con modificadores, el interminable mundo para construir, el árbol de mejoras que no tiene fin, ...

really not the kind of game that will appeal to many people, and unfortunately that group includes myself

Not fun. Controls are terrible. One game action requires you to hold a shoulder button, hold a face button, [i]and[/i] hold the right stick simultaneously. If you're unaware, face buttons and the right stick are on the same side of the controller. EDIT: addressed via patch, but it's still a frequent action requiring 3 simultaneous inputs. Weapon fusion only rarely creates cool, effective weapons. Weapon fusion is complicated enough that strategically combining weapons felt out of my reach within the first hour of play. Combat is clumsy. Bullet and enemy hitboxes are much smaller than their sprites. Enemy behavior isn't particularly distinct or interesting. Their attacks are pulled from the same pool of properties you achieve through weapon fusion, and most of them shoot short-range, quickly decaying projectiles that aren't interesting to avoid. Sometimes you'll find an enemy with a crazy shot type, but since enemies just vaguely bob around, it doesn't quite feel like an enemy design...

As it is now, the itemization does not work. This could absolutely change, but the symbols for weapon aspects are very unclear on what they represent, and rules governing how items are generated do not produce interesting outcomes. The enemies seem to also be governed by similar itemization procedures and while that's an interesting idea, the resulting enemy variety currently ranges from posing no threat at all or being really annoying to deal with entirely due to the length of time it takes to dispatch an enemy rather than any difficulty in their attack patterns/positioning/abilities. If the trajectory of the project doesn't change to put constraints on the proc gen to produce results that are actually interesting to use or react to, this game is not gonna be a hit.

A strange game where you are a rat with a sticky yoyo that can merge weapons you find in a abstract JRPG world with dungeons full of Dirty Bubbles trying to kill you. Not 100% sure I understand what's going on but I love the music so consider me along for the strange ride

this game is seriously going places. Oozing with style, feels great. Gotta give this a shot!

A very strong foundation which I'm already having a lot of fun with. Interesting weapons that you can fuse on the fly, an endless skill tree, strong visuals, and an intriguing world map system with plans to be expanded. The game is off to a fantastic start, and at only $7 at the time of writing I can definitely recommend the game as-is. Very excited to see where this goes, and I'm sure I'll get more than my money's worth along the way.

Grabbus at it's core is a top down twin sticks shooter with a dash of roguelike, dungeon crawler, and a bit of town building on the overworld. The premise is simple, you enter dungeons clearing floors by defeating all the enemies on a given floor all whilst collecting items and resources. The resources are used on the overworld map to place structures the facilitate further progression and growth of towers. You can also use them to purchase skill points to open up nodes on a skill grid or place new structures. One of the main mechanics is using Grabbus to fuse items and weapons to enhance their effects or experiment and switch things up! It keeps things fresh. The fusion is done on the fly by selecting the two items you want to fuse from a radial menu using the shoulder buttons and BAM! You got a new item, probably with a new shot type. You can also use the grab and throw stunned enemies using Grabbus, which seemed a bit tricky to pull off. Music is pretty reminiscent of a 16-bit er...

This is one worth getting on the ground floor for IMO. The current gameplay loop is small but absolutely oozes potential. Infinite map, infinite upgrades, infinite weapon fusions, it's hard not to see the scope present in the bones of this. Also the art style is really great! Worth checking out

Honestly a little complicated but the devs clearly poured their heart and soul into this one. DEFINITELY worth it at this price. The pixel art is amazing.
