Disc Room

Had this game on my wishlist for a while now and I got to admit I was waiting for it to go 90% off since it didn't look that interesting but now that I tried it out ... the dodging deadly discs bit works out to be a fine gameplay core around what the dungeon traversal hinges upon.
So get it... or wait for that eventual 90% off sale :)
ADDENDUM: Been playing it on and off in spurts... It's a pretty good dodge-em up with fun mechanics. It's a pretty good game.

This is a deceptively simple game: run around single screen rooms avoiding sharp spinning discs. But within this simple premise there is complexity and surprising flexibility. The character upgrades considerably change up the gameplay, providing you with a rather tactical moveset. It gets quite hard - I didn’t open up all the rooms - but I thoroughly enjoyed weaving around all those monstrous discs. The charming comic book art style is excellent, and although the story isn’t too deep the telling of it - largely through the very well-written bestiary (my favourite line: ‘I wonder if we are the only species these discs have had their weirding way with’) - is creative. An original, fun and addictive wee game.

Disc Room is a very simple game.

It is very much a "what you see is what you get" kind of experience. The player navigates through a series of rooms which are laid out in a grid. Each room has it's own unique types of saw blades which spawn in with their own unique abilities and behaviors. Over the course of playing through the "Normal" difficulty rooms (there is also an entire additional map of "Hard" rooms that can be unlocked, though I found them much easier to clear than the "Normal" rooms), the player also unlocks 6 special abilities (Dash, Slow, Clone, Absorb, Blast, and Mirror). These help level the playing field somewhat, though the game relies so much on RNG for the spawning and movement of the saw blades that no amount of skill is going to help players win on most of their attempts. The overall goal for the player is to survive in each room for a certain amount of time, and doing this in each room usually unlocks the adjacent rooms within the larger grid, though some special rooms have additional prerequisites to unlock.

Do I recommend this game? Yes, with a few caveats. One: know what you're getting. This game is about moving a character around a room to dodge blades for a certain amount of time and get a high score. The way the game presents this is very engaging, but that's ultimately all there is to it. Two: This is a game about being trapped in a murder box. It has graphic cartoon violence galore, and thanks to the aforementioned RNG issues, you'll be seeing quite a lot of it. Three: there are a number of rooms in the game in which the RNG issue consistently makes even the most skilled of players lose hundreds upon hundreds of times before conditions work out to were it actually becomes possible to win. If you are at all like me, you'll be ticked off about being consistently cheated out of winning while also being unable to make yourself quit trying to win at the same time.

If that sounds like a good time, than Disc Room might the game for you.

100% Completion took about 6 hours and felt fair. The first credit roll isn't really the end of the game. There's quite a few more puzzles and challenges that are rewarding to do. Lobotomy was the hardest room for sure, but it didn't take too long. It's a cool take on bullet hell games

Buen juego, los niveles son muy fáciles de re-jugar a causa del movimiento caótico del juego. Un diseño interesante, en donde la dificultad no está dada principalmente por los enemigos, sino por el ruido que ellos generan en pantalla, leerlo, analizarlo y responder en base a ellos

Very fun and engaging game with puzzle mechanics and cool story telling
my fav level was propably Lobotomy and fav boss was the Phantom
I suggest this game for anyone who's looking for a good time
cheers :steamhappy:

More better than I expected. pure joy and fun with simple maneuvers. Feels like Mickey 17, expendables.
