Depends entirely on how funny your friends are. Mine are 9/10
OK so really really don't be put off by the UI. The learning curve is about 3 hours but underneath it's so full of life, humour, and honest challenge.
So much is going on - there are funny descriptions of which drugs your crew are using in the message log, completely ephemeral and difficult to catch.
Captures a kind of wholesome 60s wonder which FTL doesn't.
Don't be shy of playing on Beginner, it took me 10 tries to beat it.

Wonderful.
Visual style pulls off the successful cuteness of Adventure Time rather than the saccharine of Disney.
Soundtrack relies heavily on the upbeat dizi / panpipe / steel drum / xylophone palette of Standard Well-Made RPG With 256 Audio Channels.
Tiny bit of clunk in some bits, but overall this has the fast loop that breeds addiction and love.

Really beautiful. The most atmospheric and beautiful tower defence game ever. The only gameplay is running left across a map and running right across a map. Thousands of times, in a a parody of gameplay, a parody of government. But you don’t mind.

I am bad at platformers and so I hate them. Not this one though.
2020
really deep and technical - a two-hander, more like a beat em up - but too many mechanics and I noped out before settling in to the deckbuilding
takes a lot to make me like a hard game (took about 20 tries to beat it once)

Admired, didn’t like

One of the most beautiful 2D games I've ever seen. Metal Slug aesthetic x Indiana Jones pulp nazi zombie schlock. But innocent. Sweet-ass oboe melodies in the soundtrack too.
Only five levels but it still manages to get a bit repetitive (too many temples and bunkers). I won't replay but no regrets.
Someone really cared about making this.
