Hackycat – Hackycat - GameClub Review

To address the review below mine, like the publisher has said, you only need to offer your email if you're signing up for GameClub. This is not required to play the game and if you previously bought the game, you can swipe over to the last screen on the GameClub pop up (that only appears the first time you run the game) and hit 'restore purchase' to get the update for free without signing up for the GameClub subscription. They have handled these updates MAGNIFICENTLY. It's very rare when a publisher switchover happens and they give you ZERO reasons to be upset with how they handle it, however, that's exactly how it's been implemented with all of these GC games. Now, as for the game, I bought this the day it was released because, well, I bought EVERY Adult Swim game that wasn't free the day it was released. And while at first I thought that this was one of the least impressive games that AS published, it grew on me. Quickly. And now I'm SO glad that GameClub has brought it back from the dead. I do wish that GameCenter or a dedicated server used for score keeping, because this is a PERFECT game for score chasing, but the unlocks will keep you busy for a while and then once you unlock everything playing to better your own score is great. 3 different gameplay modes (not including a training mode), and TONS of cats to unlock along with 3 different characters to choose from, each with their own perk that changes the gameplay a bit more. I usually hate games that require a grind like this (and yes, I understand that the grind IS the game....) but in this case, the grind is actually incredibly fun. And if you have subscribed to GameClub, this is definitely another game you should at least give a chance. And then another chance because you might not like it at first.... but it DOES open up a bit once you start unlocking things. So.... after all that... THANK YOU GameClub for bringing this game back!!! And thank you to the original developer for actually creating this game! It's a blast! =D
