Games as art people are so fucking stupid. Imagine sucking the dick of a game that does Pokémon style “buy the game twice” bullshit just because you can pretend it’s deep lol

This review contains spoilers

I think this installment invites us to reconsider how we examine this series.

The fact is, Annoying Mouse Room 3 is not the most remarkable room put together by the mice, and perhaps it's focus on dazzling us with new things and all-too-clever subversions of the classic Annoying Mouse Room formula is somewhat misguided, but it is consistently entertaining in an almost effortless way, demonstrating that these mice have an almost singular grasp of the medium of rooms. Each block rotation is a delightful experience, and the mice themselves have never looked better.

The vocal parts of the fandom who uncritically champion the original Annoying Mouse Room, still looking for the complete thematic experience that wowed them so completely in that room will undoubtedly be disappointed, but after Annoying Mouse Room 2 disappointed me (look, don't @ me, the politics of that one are dire and basically inexcusable even if the elaborations of the core rotation loop are good. Don't know what the mice were thinking there), I found this a spectacular return to form.

My only major criticism is that while Annoying Mouse Room 3 delights in the moment to moment experience, it fails to really electrify intellectually, and if you asked me what it was saying, I'd probably just shrug. There's certainly elements that are potentially fascinating but I don't think there's enough to here to make a conclusive reading, so anything I might bring up is sheer speculation for Annoying Mouse Room 4. But I imagine the themes of the series will become far clearer with future intallments of Annoying Mouse Room, and honestly, the day we turn our noses up at a room that consistently delights and entertains as well as Annoying Mouse Room 3 is the day we officially lose our SOUL.

Pretty cool to go through, the artstyle is nice, the story is intriguing and there is good humor to it.

The Doc Robot stages ruined this game.

misleading title, game didn't run in 50 FPS

made like a dark, twisted version of pokemon haha. Just a glimpse into my dark reality. A full stare into my open-world survival crafting slop would make most simply go insane lmao.

Steam Reviews are the only place on earth where a guy with a Dodonpachi pfp will play a game called NON-BINARY and then say "I can't believe they put politics in a shmup".

you look at the store page and trailer for this game and go "huh this looks like it was made by a mega man zero fan" and then you play it and, surprise, surprise, it plays identically to a mega man zero game. if you liked mega man zero, you will like this game. it doesn't do anything exceptional nor does it really elevate MMZ's gameplay or feedback loop at all. but, it's fun and it's what you expect it to be. it's like going to the movie theatre to see some popcorn action flick. you aren't expecting anything contemplative or genre-defying, just something moderately entertaining for the price of admission. this game very much succeeds in that way.

but what is with the name. why is the dude called gravity circuit. he never uses gravity. what the hell.

This game is incredible, you can feel the love and attention the devs put into it.
Super tight controls, awesome sprite work, GENIUS OST.
This is a love letter to the Mega Man X & Zero games and goddamn they did it right.

The start of the game is a little easy but most openings are, once the ball gets rolling the game really takes off and doesn't stop.
After playing through the game a couple times i think id prefer if the whole game was as brutal and platform challenging as the last 3 levels. After beating those the rest of the game kinda slumps in comparison in terms of difficulty. Still adore this game honestly.

In just a couple days I 100%'d this game doing all it had to offer (fuck u 10 hoops in a row achievement) and honestly i wish there was more content to go through even after beating it 4 times start to finish.
I saw a sneak peek that the game will get a update sometime soon adding more rooms to the HUB area including a boss rematch room.
Hoping this has done well enough to warrant some juicy DLC or maybe a sequel at some point.
