TV Archive: Tidy Up Together

To get it out of the way first, yes this game has a LOT of AI generated artwork and assets. I bought it still knowing that because I enjoy cleaning games and still wanted to give it a shot thinking "the AI couldn't be THAT bad, it won't bother me THAT much". Nope. The AI art is plentiful and ugly. I cannot get my mind over the fact that there's a series called Preys and Predators and the lion on the cover just does not look like a lion. Someone had a review discussing design cues, and how important it is that families have related themes to tie them together outside of "romantic" sounding titles, or movies that sound "action-y." I can see where you want to have some kind of realism, video covers in real life do not all match the same design philosophy, but on a gameplay perspective, that means I'm looking through tons of visual clutter instead. Im not looking for VHS tapes that could be in the same section, but more remembering that Fatty Bear 1 goes in the same sections as Super Ant. Put simply, the sorting process just feels less satisfying. If you can excuse the AI art, this game still feels boring and soulless compared to other tidy up games out there. It does not do much to deviate from the already existing formula, but any changes that it makes are neutral at best. The skill tree is a neutral addition-- I understand it makes it so that you are encouraged to find more tapes to recharge each ability and not immediately power up the more broken ones, but it makes the first half of the game very slow. Towards the end, you can chain powers together and it makes finishing the game very quick. The controls feel very slippery. I feel like I'm sliding when I jump and move and I find that the game will lag when turning around or using the highlight ability when I'm an hour or so in. TLDR: there's better ones out there. The AI art really IS that bad. You aren't missing out on skipping this one.

[h1] НАВОДИ ПОРЯДОК, УЕБИЩЕ [/h1] Игра очень простая, но люто затягивает Суть простая - сортировать кассеты, раскладывать их по полкам и постепенно превращать этот VHS-склад в нормальное место. И вот сам процесс сортировки здесь реально приятный. Я каким-то образом прошёл игру на 100% за день и выбил все достижения, хотя изначально вообще не собирался так сильно в неё залипать Но одному играть довольно тяжело. Через какое-то время схема «взял кассету - нашёл полку - положил - повторил ещё 500 раз» начинает немного утомлять. А вот с друзьями игра раскрывается намного лучше. Можно спокойно сидеть, сортировать кассеты, общаться и просто кайфовать В игре всего 5 активных скиллов. Первый вообще практически бесполезный, а пятый, на мой взгляд, уже слишком имбовый. Да и самих механик хотелось бы побольше. Можно было добавить какую-нибудь швабру, чтобы сгребать кассеты в одну кучу, магнит или ещё что-нибудь подобное. Раз уж здесь есть какая-то инкрементальная составляющая, можно было сделать её механики поинтереснее Ближе к концу ещё начал замечать баги. Например, почему-то 3 скилл стал работать через раз и буквально по 2 секунды. Некоторые обложки кассет выглядят однотипно, да и общего визуального стиля иногда не хватает. Прокачку тоже можно было сделать интереснее и вместо очередных апгрейдов добавить новые способности Но в целом мне игра понравилась. Правда, вряд ли я когда-нибудь вернусь в неё снова. После второго прохождения было скорее ощущение не «хочу ещё», а «наконец-то это закончилось» Короче, хорошая игра на один раз, особенно если играть с друзьями, но никакой реиграбельности нет

目前不推荐，最核心的问题是经常卡死，已附上配置。这个问题同类作品中没有出现过 设计上也存在一些让人在意的问题，初期的新手教程是强制锁死的，照着教程完成之前打不开加点技能树。同时技能树也只能强制按照顺序点，缺乏自由度 另外我在查卡死问题的时候留意到反馈卡死问题的差评下有人出言侮辱玩家的游戏水平问题，我姑且不去揣测这是不是制作组相关人员的留言，但确实非常影响观感 I can’t recommend the game in its current state. The biggest issue is that it frequently freezes completely. I’ve included my system specs for reference, and I haven’t encountered this problem in other games of the same genre. There are also a few design choices that bother me. The tutorial at the beginning is mandatory and completely locks you into its progression; you can’t access the skill tree until you finish the required tutorial steps. The skill tree itself also has to be unlocked in a fixed order, leaving very little freedom. While looking into the freezing issue, I also noticed someone insulting players’ skill levels under negative reviews reporting the same problem (wtf?). I’m not going to speculate on whether that person has any connection to the developers, but seeing that kind of response definitely left a very poor impression.

Poorly made. Tapes clip through the walls, floor and other tapes. AI tape cover art is just devoid of any character or charm Upgrades are slow, and appear like a tech tree but force you crappy skills you don't want Controls feel awful

Im only going to beat the game because I already have mindlessly spent so much time playing it. Would love a mod that changes all of the AI crappy imagery of the video coverart into something else. Otherwise, the game is okay. Its fun enough and at $5 it gets the job done for what it is. I just cant recommend such strong AI use in a space where artists could have drawn something funnier.

Completed the normal mode within 2.7hrs and to be honest the only thing left to-do is to complete it on No Skills mode, and to be honest, there's no incentive to do that, actually, the thought of doing it is daunting and I can already feel how horrible and tedious because the grind doesn't feel fun.....most likely going to do it because its the only way to get the last achievement, but I don't want to, hahaha. Not sure it's worth the price either. Not sure they can even add any content to it to this that would add any play value. All of the cassettes are extremely unmemorable, mostly created with AI and there textures are buggy and some blurry.

I really wanted to like this game. I love the nostalgia of it all and the creativeness of the tapes. But... the controls are weird and when trying to change the key bindings it only works some of the time. The locking the skills behind a number of shelved tapes is odd. The game itself seems bland. Compared to some of the other sorting games that are coming out right now it really just doesn't scratch that itch in my brain. It just seems like a chore and not as fun. I wanted to enjoy it, but I don't think I'm going to finish it. So I can't in good conscience recommend it.
