Reviews for "Discount Mayonnaise"

Awesome Game !

This is a very dynamic game,i love that ! < 3 < 3 < 3

Fun game. My arms don't appreciate level 23.

A fun game. I feel like the final world was easier than the previous worlds; the final item unlocks and not being chased made it much, much easier than world 3. Level 23 was evil and my arms and hands are a bit sore. You could add a bit of extra evilness to level 23 by making the final group of platforms unreachable to players who took the low road (by abusing acids) rather than taking the high road and killing the wall. Or by having a long goo path, forcing the player not to be able to survive acid at all.

The superthing struck me as kind of pointless. Maybe it should've added, as a second power, a permanent 4-slot charge to the damage/special. Or an extra weapon unlock (a sword?). Or the ability to disable the worm for every level in the game. Though I admit that all of those options are still a bit pointless by the time you've beaten level 23.

Thanks for the suggestion but I think the secret level is difficult enough...!

The point of the superthing is to allow you to pick any armor and still have top stats - so you can look any way you want. Sure, at the very end of the game it's not much use, but some people go for time trials, and if you end up first, your character will appear in the leaderboards. So that's pretty cool I guess!

THE END OF THIS GAME IS.... IS...

¿¿¿¿WHAT THE HELL????

Satisfying, yes!

Discount Mayhem

First and foremost, "hard" is a severe understatement. This game is a nerve-punishing test of willpower. It gives very little wiggle room, and as it progresses it tightens down further and further on you.

Most developers are entirely unable to pull of "ultra-hard". They make it hard not via intense challenges and situations but via stilted or even broken game design. Somehow, you pulled it off. This game is slick, intricate, simple, tricky, challenging, terrifying, energetic, exciting, and visually splendid.

The level of polish on both the art and the controls is fantastic- love and effort were put into both to make this a genuinely gleeful run-and-gun time trial. It works. With virtually no story and very little reason, Discount Mayonnaise is regardless an absolute gem.

The music, while somewhat standard, fits perfectly with the panicky frantic nature of the gameplay. It is typical, but it works here exactly as needed.

I award this a well-earned 5/5 and 10/10 for creating one of the most blatantly entertaining titles to hit this site in quite some time.

Joelasticot responds:

Thanks! I agree with you - games with "cheap" difficulty are annoying and I don't play them for very long. Games with tight controls & challenging level design are much more fun and rewarding

fucking epic

best game ever man good job
