Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones. Scored as 74% after the small-sample adjustment

What players say

The game was amazing for the time being but now its unplayable cannot end your runs and after you do manage to finish a campaign your stuck on the screen and cannot return to the menu you also have to go into the files for the game and delete _temp every time you want to just play if they fix it in the hopefully near future I will return to it but for now there's other options for time wasters

The game is funny, and I think there's a lot of fun in it, but the UI needs a lot of help. It's hard to know what you're supposed to be doing much of the time.
Bot Hog Dong WaterNot recommendedafter 6.4hMar 2026Read on Steam
The game itself is really fun and I love the tools it gives you, but I ran into a major graphical bug that made the game hit me with a strobe-light effect on a consistent basis. I tried reaching out to the developers and publisher for support, but neither party responded to my inquiries. I looked into it further, and the developer seems to be defunct, so I'm assuming this game is abandoned, which really sucks...
