  It is pretty fun. Can be explained a lot better in my opinion. Looking forward for updates!

  Good and interesting game with verry helpful content, one advice to everyone who wants to learn the hacking... first finish the game story and then start with Cheat Engine, after that u can continue with IDA Pro and x64dbg and etc. This game is not waste of time for sure. Oh, one more thing... look for tutorials in GuidedHacking, u can find very helpful tutorials there too, also if u are lazy to read, code and etc. dont waste your time with this things, its just not for you :)

  As a hacker who's full-time job is web application penetration testing and cloud security engineering, I rarely have time or the desire to learn more assembly or C++. This game is a really good way to refresh your memory and learn the basics.

  My thoughts on the game: The hacking Tutorials are good to learn the basics of memory editing, hex editing and pointers, especially when following Zac's tutorials on GH as he explains it quite thoroughly. however, I do wish there were more challenges to complete for each section and definitely some harder ones as well. (However, I do understand that it is in Beta) The story mode is all about editing simple Assembly code and Hexus is the card game about learning how to count on hexadecimal and binary. I found Hexus extremely useful and it solidified my binary counting skills, however, my Hexadecimal still need some work! The Assembly code editor is a cool concept, however, I do think it could be expanded on to include more game entities to "hack" and maybe having to learn some more advanced stuff. TLDR: Besides a maybe adding some more challenges the game is awesome and helps teach the basics of game hacking

  i recently bought this to check it out cause it looked interesting. If you are new to hacking and would like to learn then yes this game is great! Unfortunately for me i already knew most of the stuff they were trying to teach in the game therefore it did not help me! But like i said its great if you are new, In fact when i got into game hacking i wish this game was around! Overall i would say its a 5/5 stars for newbies but wouldnt recommend if you already have experience

  Not a game yet, it's in [b]very[/b] early access. It might give you a hint, when it doesn't encounter a bug; Because it's a barely started game. It has what appears to be basic vector art, which is forgivable since it's meant to be a guided lesson. Which it can't accomplish and doesn't do, [b]yet[/b]. Somehow as a 2D game it even manages to lose frames on a PC that can run Red Dead Redemption 2 on high settings at a steady 60 fps. Somebody needs to look at their rendering pipeline. It doesn't appear to even have music yet. I bought this [b]barely functional[/b] pile of assets, messily slapped together that is neither functional or punctual to support it's developers in a new tutorial series they're making on Youtube. If you aren't feeling generous and charitable to developers who may or may not take your money and run for the possibility of a game that may or may not be completed for a video series that also may or may not be completed. [b]Do not[/b] buy this [i]"game"[/i]. Otherwise, buy it and let it slowly develop in your Steam library hoping it has something to teach you in a couple years. I've written code for a long time, it's one of my only passions. This passion branched off into reverse engineering and I'm already familiar with assembly, but always consider myself a student. I like reading and watching tutorials to see if someone else caught something I missed. I don't need this game to teach me, but I like the concept and hope it is completed to help others. Maybe I could refer a friend to it in the future as an easier introduction than I had. That's why I'm willing to buy this and not refund it for being something I feel I could write better in a week, including writing the engine itself from scratch and using my own shit, hand-drawn assets and sound effects recorded with my microphone. [b][u]Too long didn't read:[/u][/b] If you're in the market for a game that teaches you how to reverse engineer it or even a playable game. This is not for you, [b]yet[/b]. If you want to [b]invest[/b] in something that [b]may[/b] become that in an unknown time span in the future. Feel free to invest in these developers like I have. I will change this review in the future if the developers update the game.

  Played a little bit, its fun, but definitely not for learning. You can't learn hacking in this game. It just lacks the real world examples and it is so bare bones. A lot need to be added/changed for it to be good for learning. If you wan't something to goof around with, sure go for it. But if you plan on buying for learning, stop its not worth it. The price is too high for a "learning" game. If the game actually learned you how to hack, the price would be solid.

  The game is extremely unstable, it crashes for no reason. Crashes even when I am trying to starting the game. It crashes for almost everything, I have wasted my money over this game. Will not recommend this at this stage, this seems like a good concept though there are more bugs than features, unless the author of the game want us to debug the whole game and handle all those unhandled exceptions to make this thing run properly. EDIT: The game is much stable now and playable. I have started playing it yesterday. As afar as I have played it got some assembly but not much. Over all game is not too bad.

  Around 5% of your time (and that's a generous estimate) will be spent on what you came for, which is assembly puzzles. The other 95% of your time will be spent playing an unspeakably shitty RPG game which attempts to wrap the puzzles to make them more approachable and fun, but it's just such a huge fucking unfun waste of time that tests how much soul-wrenching tedium you can withstand before you get the next puzzle. Seriously, the RPG part is what a preschooler would make after 3 hours of playing around with some drag'n'drop GameMaker software. After I looted some things that looked like crafting materials I did a big "OH FUCK" because it made me realize how many features there are in the game to prolong the unspeakable tedium and keep me from the actual content. To the developer: Nobody here comes for the "game", everyone's here from GH just to learn assembly and do some puzzles. Do what delivers value to the customer. Drop the RPG part, because it's the part that has the least value, while for some reason taking 95% of the player's time. Focus just on assembly puzzles. If this is supposed to be the first chapter of the GH Bible, do it fucking right. Human Resource Machine did it right - they're just puzzles, and some entertaining dialogue, you get exactly what you expected and what you paid for.

  Squally has a lot of promise despite being in a very early stage. Some are writing this game off as not very informative, it teaches you in a very unconventional way which is to actually do things related to assembly as opposed to droning on about it in a hour long section in a part of youtube with maybe a few thousand views and an accent you can barely understand. With Squally, I had so much fun, I forgot I was programming. The very reason you should buy Squally is because it teaches you through repetition and actual work as opposed to just giving a lecture. It's fun and I found myself eager to get to the next section of enemies to learn some new thing about assembly language. Hexus makes for a fun little distraction that despite being seemingly pointless is very important, it familiarizes you with opcodes and tasks related to them. All opcodes can be found in your standard x86_64 assembly book that's available for free from intel's site. Squally covers a majority of opcodes in a fun and addictive way. The battles feel like paper mario, but instead, you're hackerman and basically God. The game really deceives you into thinking you're not learning but you actually are. There are a few bugs to be aware of, the game despite being centered around hacking, makes the first cardinal sin of coding which is to assume the user's input. Many things can be input when using squally's ability to hack, therefore things can go horrendously wrong which to average computer illiterate users can be frustrating. There needs to be messages that explicitly state things that the developers might consider common sense but to the newbie won't be so obvious. All-in-all Squally is a buy for the up and coming comp sci student or anyone interested in comp sci who wants a better understanding of the lowest level computer language, which is x86_64 assembly. It gets you to just do things, and no matter how many books you read, doing will always lend more experience, than reading ever will. Squally manages to make doing assembly, feel like you're just playing a fun RPG. Give it a shot and I hope you enjoy.
