The noises and cartoons are so immersive. Great job guys! ### 5/5 — Nice *2020-07-13, version 1.01* I love crushing things and it’s so good the best crushing ever ### 5/5 — Pretty Gowd .. lol *2020-07-08, version 1.01* watch there youtube channels , i love them both ### 5/5 — Congrats *2020-07-07* Ya know just doing one thing is believed to not get you anywhere at all, but you guys proved that doing one thing can be noticed as something that has interest, and congrats on making this game. ### 5/5 — Great game! *2020-07-02* It’s a great game, and I love it, but every time I crush something it would always break my stuff! :( even a TOMATO broke my pump! ### 5/5 — Silly but easy to use and fun *2020-06-21* This game is easier to navigate and understand than the previous one, and I like the variety of things to crush. It’s a bit difficult to figure out how to prevent damage to the press, but perhaps that’s supposed to be a puzzle to figure out. ### 5/5 — Great *2020-06-17, version 1.01* Very fun game. I love it ### 5/5 — Great way to pass time. *2020-06-17, version 1.01* This app is dangerous and may attack at any time, so we must deal with it. ### 5/5 — Good game *2020-06-16, version 1.01* So far, the game is proving to be good. Hopefully more to come in the future. ### 5/5 — Interesting *2020-06-16, version 1.01* Good way to pass the time. My kids love to play this game. ### 5/5 — Cute Game *2020-06-15, version 1.01* Good for wasting time ### 5/5 — Pretty unique *2020-06-15* This game is diverse when it cones to interactions with the environment and gaining levels. I like how involved it is with the wearing down of tools and unlocking new items to crush. Its easy to navigate and catch on what to keep an eye on to gain levels. The adds on display are sketchy but at least the any item purchased removes ads feature gots that covered. In came animation and audio are thought out and work well. I definitely can see all ages enjoy this in their leisure. Big fan of the HydraulicPress videos. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bad *2021-07-29, version 1.01* My press kept brakeing and it was confusing it is bad do not recommend ### 1/5 — Boring *2021-01-17* Every item gets crushed in the exact same way theres no real crush to it its just a corny flatten and thats it. You only get to crush two items before your piston breaks and it takes hundreds of taps to "fix" it. Upgrading tools is hella expencive when you only get one coin per crush, mind tou the crush is super slow to come down. The first upgrade starts at 50 coins and i didnt even have enough after five crushes. The game didnt last five minutes on my fone thats how terrible it was. Unrealistic crushes, too expencive upgrades, wonky controls for sliding to accept or deny comments, the characters design looking creepy. EVERYTHING needing to be REPAIRED CONSTANTLY. Stupid game. Could easily find a way better crusher on the app store. Dont waste your time ### 1/5 — No No No *2020-07-15, version 1.01* I love this game soooo much but I am deeply in depression and the hate comments in the game made me feel worse so i uninstalled the game immediately. That what I think anoint the game you can think diffrent but to me BIG NO NO ### 3/5 — Entertaining *2025-11-04, version 1.01* I don’t see it keeping my interest for long but it’s entertaining in the short term. ### 4/5 — old but fun :) *2025-01-22, version 1.01* i know the last update was four years ago but it's fun! can't buy things anymore tho ### 4/5 — Cool game! *2020-11-07* This is a cool game! I recommend it to people who wants to get a new game. Your channel is cool as well. The only thing I have a problem is that it is confusing to new players. That’s why I give it 4 stars Bye!!! From, William Stocklin ### 4/5 — Welcome to the Hydraulic Press Game... *2020-06-15, version 1.01* Press breaks more than a Harbor Freight unit...otherwise an entertaing and fun way to spend a few minutes. ### 4/5 — Simple and fun for fans *2020-06-15, version 1.01* If you are a fan of the Hydraulic Press Channel, this is a great way to support the creative team without pressing your wallet. The game play is straightforward, with multiple simple tasks so avoid monotony. You can upgrade equipment, open fan mail, and send internet trolls where they belong. I hope to find the Worminator 5.000.000 soon! ### 4/5 — Interesting *2020-06-14, version 1.01* Extra content Guess which is stronger ### 4/5 — Great if you are stuck on a train. *2020-06-14* Would crush again. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good game *2026-06-17* Fun Game easy to play ### 5/5 — Love it *2025-06-18* The one thing that I would change would’ve been to make the game more realistic and make all the crushes seem actually seem real but other than that this is the best game ever it’s so much fun and the hydraulic press is really cool I’m here at least it actually works and there’s no like glitches that ever happened with it👌 ### 5/5 — Way more cool than I expected *2023-04-07* I’ve been watching the HPC for years, how in the heck am I only today hearing about this game? It’s so fun, I can’t stop. I enjoy how you’re required to “maintain” your equipment. ### 5/5 — The 5th best game for me *2023-01-04, version 1.01* ??? ### 5/5 — Fun! *2021-11-05, version 1.01* Great YouTube channel and fun game too!
