Developers Saw My Vid & Removed The Fun - #HighOnLife [XsX]

The #highonlife video game was released by #squanchgames in Dec. 2022. The game came out with mixed reviews. The consensus was the gameplay was average with little variety, no replayability, and overuse of foul language and drawn out jokes.Show more

What majority of reviews failed to mention was the abundance of broken maps and mounds of glitches. Early in the game's release, I share multiple images, videos, and discriptions of clear incompetence to quality control. From unfinished maps, to game breaking glitches. These videos were primarily shared here, twitter, reddit, and discord.

In mid January 2023, the developers put out the 2nd patch for the game. This patch has only made things worse. The patch not only reset a number of tasks that gamers had already completed, but it virtually did nothing to fix the game. At least that I've yet to find.

The most frustrating achievement in the game is called "Mods, Please Ban". This achievement forces players to mindlessly farm enemies and tasks to complete. Impossible to complete when said enemies and tasks vanish once you've completed sections of the game. The Jan. update reset half of these tasks for players. And to add insult, the developers doubled the requirements! However, the enemies continue to vanish as they did before.

The developers, #squanchgames, purposely ignored player cries and decided to troll us instead. The ONLY map/level change they made is the one you see here. Instead of professionally closing the gap, the developers carelessly tossed floating rocks in front of it as a means to block players. This also happened to be the one part of the game that allowed players to skip a small section for a fun speedrun. Leaving the path visible and covering it as they did, is to me a clear means to mock players and critiques of their game.

What did you think of the game? What about the update? Let me know in the comments!
