Buckle up, gamers! The cooking-themed roguelike 'Omelet You Cook,' developed by SchuBox Games, was on a spectacular streak with over 500 shining player reviews. Every single one raved about this egg-citing creation, making it a rare gem on the vast Steam platform!
But hold onto your spatulas because the perfect streak faced its first crack today! Developer Dan Schumacher felt the sizzle when the game finally received its first negative review. What gives, right? Bizarrely, the player claimed, "Game is amazing. I just like to be different," after clocking in a mere 0.8 hours of culinary adventure.
In true gaming community style, fans rallied to the cause with electric enthusiasm! Within 14 hours of the negative review, nearly 40 new positive reviews scrambled to support 'Omelet You Cook,' slamming the brakes on the lone dissenting opinion. The community's passion was clear, though some took the expression of support a bit too far with overly harsh comments. Still, talk about fan power!
"Seeing this review was very draining for us," an emotional Schumacher shared with IGN. "We knew 100% wouldn't last forever, but it hurts when what's essentially praise ends our streak. We'd rather hear constructive criticism about bugs or gameplay issues. This? It stings!"
In the grand scheme of cooking up a delightful game, one negative review isn't the end of the world. Yet, it chips away at the mystique that few titles manage to maintain on Steam. Not many can boast such universal acclaim, with 'Shooters, Ready!' being another rare contender with its own perfect run.
"A perfect score had given us invaluable benefits," Schumacher explained. "Players were intrigued by the elusive 100% rating, diving into reviews or trying out our demo just to see what the buzz was all about. Some even joined our community, curious and inspired!"
While losing that perfect sheen may dim some opportunities to stand out, SchuBox Games holds the belief that a 99% rating is still a recipe for success. After all, this unique "negative" feedback continues to frame 'Omelet You Cook' in a deliciously positive light.
It’s a known fact – in the bustling world of Steam, engaging reviews and wishlists can be game-changers, especially for small developers. With 'Omelet You Cook' still sizzling with support, it seems this egg-centric journey is far from over!
