Should Remove Roguelike From The Title

This is an incredibly bad roguelike game. This game is very bare bones, and every retry feels the same with different strategic approaches not really feeling possible. This is closer to a roguelite, but even then it still isn’t a good roguelite. For a game thats existed this long in this genre it identifies with to still have almost nothing is sad.

Penguin plunge into battle

Love this tower defense game. Perfect for flights. With the new upgrades there are more tower defenders and way more strategy! The designs and characters are a lot of fun and the gameplay is addictive.

Mr. Beast

Hey!!! It’s Mr. Beast (the famous YouTuber).

I came across this game and I must say that it has TREMENDOUS Potential. While it’s great to restart from scratch after losing, adding a “permanent upgrades” section or playable option is highly worth considering. If you need help promoting/advertising this game, I suggest you add an Instagram page as well.

As always, other gamers and fans will appreciate and support your content so long as you continue to adhere to their standards and needs!
