BOOM. You're done. iPhones try to act like it's "just a website bookmark" because they want everyone to go through the App Store but really it functions just like an app... Full screen, moveable icon on your home screen. All of it.
Enjoy.
Install the Channel 3 app from the Google Play Store.
I'm going to stop short of saying I hated this. There were parts i liked. I'm a fan of roguelikes but I think my issues with this, versus say Hades or vampire survivors, come down to
* brutal difficulty. Can be tweaked to a degree with assist mode. It's expected, but...
* insane boss fights. Yeah hades boss fights are hard too but you're not stuck with left and right and a very pathetic jump as your only option. Some real hollow Knight vibes here and I am not here for it
* meta progress is slow. You can get all the way to the end of a level and die in the last few feet before the exit and lose all the currency. You can invest between each level but only between and...
* no reset for the dead cells that unlock meta progression
* low res graphics are fine as a choice but you can't make it impossible to tell what I need to know about. In VS, you are the source of all the bullets etc and can orient based on that. Here you are a human shaped blob of pixels fighting other vaguely humanoid shapes. Accessibility can add an outline and I tried it and I still had no idea what was going on between the enemy attacks and my own traps
* in both vs and Hades you can unlock abilities that grant you a revive exactly at the spot you died and you keep playing. With assist mode here you can go back to your nearest checkpoint (by default the start of the level but you can awkwardly use the Xbox guide button in a seemingly undocumented fashion to create a checkpoint)
* game gives you a healing potion then requires about 2 seconds to drink it, and if you get hit during that time, good luck, start the clock over if you're not dead
So with my new year's resolution in mind, I'm done with this after abusing assist mode to complete one run after way too many failed attempts.
Fun and charming, though Rouge-likes can kind of wear on me. It’s a bit of a slog and can get repetitive. I feel like I should like this more than I do.
