Welcome to 1997 Steam, you can now do the equivalent of having Winamp playing in the back

Good on them. Tried it out on the steambox and its pretty decent with a controller

I would have certainly given this game a higher score had controller support not been an issue

Begun in full, the WINE “ports” have…

No gamepad support

No cloud save

I don’t need a WINE wrapped minefield in my Steam store.
-
Where is the link to the sourcecode of wine wrapper you used? Part of your product etc…
-
Kids, the moral of the story is to not buy wine ports on steam. EOF

They didn’t ask anyone to port the game for them. They picked up the tools and did it themselves.

Talk about misinformed devs. Problem is, I think this one is ignorant by choice.

Wazzat: Saturday Morning RPG is an episodic JRPG set in world heavily inspired by 1980s Saturday morning cartoons and pop culture. Players take the role of Martin “Marty” Michael Hall, an average high-school student who has just been granted an incredible power – a power that ultimately leads him to attract the ire of the world’s most notorious villain, Commander Hood! Saturday Morning RPG features a full soundtrack by legendary 80s composer Vince DiCola (Transformers: The Animated Movie, Rocky IV) and his composing partner, Kenny Meriedeth (contributor for DuckTales, Power Rangers, X-Men, and others).

I like JRPGs. This isn’t it.

This is another high brow indie game that hides its shortcomings behind the guise of parody. Except it’s not even parody, it’s referencing. Pure, unadulterated pop-culture referencing without a vestige of humor.

Yeah me, the guy who giggles like a goddamn lunatic, didn’t find your game funny despite the obviously desperate attempts the game has.
