Mass O' Kyzt is an arena based platformer wherein you upgrade your enemies.
Play as an astronaut fighting aliens on the planet Ky, home of the psychic hivemind race known as the Kyzt. In this 2D side-scroller, you will destroy masses of aliens living on the aforementioned planet.
As it stands, your objective is to destroy as many Kyztlings as you possibly can. Hopefully, someone somewhere will come to rescue you before you're overwhelmed!
You will be placed at a location specifically chosen by your administrators on the surface of planet Ky. From there, you must fight off hoards of Kyztlings - small, malleable aliens which obey no higher power than their Hive Master.
Every so often, you are forced to decide between making your enemies stronger, faster or tougher. Whichever you choose will immediately augment the Kyzt forces, causing them to become more effective in their advances.
Supplies are sparse on planet Ky, so it's very difficult to get a chance to recover any damage that you take. However, Kyztlings are an excellent source of Special Energy. Special Energy won't heal you, but it is able to be used as ammunition for more powerful shots. Some forms of Special Energy are known to have unusual effects on your weapon, so stay alert!

Mass O' Kyzt is a 2D retro pixel wave survival shooter with lightweight platforming elements. You control a pixel blob in a single screen and enemies drop from the sky that you have to shoot. As you shoot enemies you eventually get upgrades, but these are limited to your health, speed and attack power... it's pretty shallow. There's also boss fights, not that it makes a huge difference. This feels like some kind of precursor to Vampire Survivors and may have appealed to that audience if it was implemented better (and let's face it, Vampire Survivors with all the pixelcrap art is a miracle success against all odds, zoomer appeal is a weird thing to capture).
Anyway the game "works" but it's shallow stuff and you've seen pretty much all there is after 5 minutes. And, while it might seem like I'm digressing, picking up crap like this at say 50c and getting 5 minutes of gameplay (because there's not much to this) is way worse value for money than picking up an old AAA game for $5 and getting a hundred hours out of it. Amateur developers... you get less than you paid for. Anyway enough digressing, let's go through the technical defects applicable to this game.
From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard.
A choice was made to use obsolete, decades old retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result.
There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks. There's no way to ensure this is running at the native resolution of your display. There's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision.
The controls can't be customised, which will be an annoyance for many, but it can also render the game unplayable for differently-abled gamers, or gamers using AZERTY or other international keyboard layouts.
Some of the defects in the game can be attributed to the choice of using the Godot game engine/toolset (the 2D part, the 3D part is actually workable in the right hands). The Godot 2D component is a very poor quality toolset sometimes used by amateur developers as it's free (so they don't have to pay for GameMaker Studio) and doesn't require advanced game development skills, but unfortunately has very limited capabilities (it's arguably worse than GameMaker Studio). Just as you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear, you can't make a great video game if you use a terrible engine.
These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game.
The poor quality of this game is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 6 players. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 50,000 games for gamers to choose from (over 9,000 completely free titles), the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected.
Mass O' Kyzt is relatively cheap at $2 USD, but it's not worth it. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, this is impossible to recommend.
good game to play when bored
Brilliant game. Saw this advertised by the creator on Reddit a while ago and had it saved to my wishlist. Ended up getting round to buying it for quite a low price. Incredibly good game and definitely worth the money.
The game is cheap, has wacky music, and it's great for killing some time.
Cool twist on the wave attack genre - you're in control of the difficulty progression.
It's quick-paced, responsive, and engaging. Especially with the price, this is a great game to pick up when you've got a few minutes to kill.
Love the graphics. Love the idea. I play muted and just listen to my own music, as I do with every arcade style game
Now...I can't recommend this. It needs a few updates to make it an actual game. I hate to say it that way but currently it's just repetitive and not that great...
Different unlocks need to do different things. There needs to be diversity. Right now the unlocks just look like they change the skin. The maps aren't different enough from what I've seen to change the gameplay a significant amount. I don't care if it just changes the stats where like you move 10% faster and do 10% less damage or you start enemies at -1 in a category, just something.
As for the unlocks, bro, turn that shit down. How many rounds do you want me to play just to get another skin? Jesus Christ. That's way to grindy. 60 rounds? 250? 500? 750? That's sooooooooo many and I'm not gonna just start a game and die immediately.
The game itself is fine enough but looking at the unlocks and some of the other maps, I just don't see a point to continue on when it won't really affect me playing the game, right? That being said, $2 really is a fair price. It's super low and if you added more diversity like I mentioned this could easily sell for more.
Great game. Wel done Alex.
A simple shooter, and a pretty fun one too! The content of the game is pretty limited, but it is pretty satisfying to shoot the aliens till they go poof. Difficulty wise, my only gripe is that more often than not deaths are the result of the swarm of enemies, rather than the upgrades you give enemies offering any significant change to the gameplay, which I think was the intent, still, for the price, I say go for it.
Excellent game. Absolutely wonderful. I love the mechanic of upgrading your enemies. Overall, 8 out of 10. One of my only complaints is this: How on Earth do you pronounce Kyzt?
Really cool, simple game. I love those small indie games that don't overwhelm you with tons of items, storyline etc. Great feeling to kill a couple of thousand of enemies after hard day at work. I also played it on Ubuntu, which is a huge plus for me. Totally with the 6 euro :)
Saw this guy's post on Reddit and decided to try it out! So should you!
Just killed a few thousand of those slimy hive pests. I really like the choice to make them stronger, faster, or tougher. Totally worth the few dollars to support a new dev!!! I'll def get a good amount of playtime out of this one. No real complaints for his first run at a release-ready game.
A simple but difficult, no micro-transactions, skills-based game.
Its a fun little game, the problem is that it feels more like a flash game or a mobile game, its not worth the steam price, its needs more content, it will give you an hour or two of fun but after that it gets boring
cool, hard and fun
