Community Insight:
Ive played this multiple times very old school game Im glad its still around.
This game gave us a view of how to run a press channel and we got to give respect to the man because is challenging we now understand why you dont just press the items willy nilly.
There are so many items to crush and by the way the plates are ASMR.
We gave this five stars because the game is great and all but when we used it on our iPhone XR the icons were out of place make a new version to fit the icons.
We love these kids and their channels. So simple an idea but its so much fun and often really interesting results. Who would have thought. Silly game but its fun.
We played this on Android a long time ago. We came back and we dont regret it.
We love HPC. We love their games. Man they are cool.
We didnt even know this game existed till our dad and we were watching this guys channel late at night. We heard he had a game on the App Store and we were like Woah thats awesome! We have to check it out!. We love everything about the game and if youre really into this kinda stuff, Im sure you will love everything about it too! It was a genius idea to make this game, and Im glad we learned about it lol! Ive played it like almost everyday because its just so fantastic! Love the game.
We think you should add the option to get 50% off when buying the stuff to upgrade your hydraulic press for like 7.99$ if thats seems fine to you. :) (pt.2) you should make a rebirth option so you can multiply your amount of cash you get from videos.
This game keeps us entertained wherever we are.
This game is actually a really fun game. We love the fact that it incorporates the funny moments from the hydraulic press YouTube channel. We also feel like the other reviews for this game are way too critical about the jokes made in the game.
Fun game, its just like the videos, kinda.
Some people said that this game is not that good. The reason why is because the comments at the end are like dont destroy a functioning toilet like that. Well its a little quiz at the end to see how you would like comments and how you would not like them. We like the comments at the end because some are funny. We really like this game because there is so many things to crush. The crushing fun is never ending almost.
This game is so fun and addictive. We played it for no joke 5 hours straight. 5 stars.
A simple but enjoyable game. Quite satisfying.
This game is really good its all we can say! 10/10.
So this is what its like to have a digital hydraulic Press? Nice! You people that made this game are amazingly awesome at making games!!! We never expected that.
This game is way too good please make a game that's something like this game.
This game is really fun we play it everyday and the style of the game makes it super cool and intertaning.
A fun to play game with progression and many different items, and rewards. A great way to pass the time.
Not a bad app dont really see any glitches. A Good use of free time.
The thing lose & the press wins.
What people dont get is this isnt about just the hydraulic press channels and their views on their fanbase, it is a realistic depiction of people on YouTube who comment on any content are actually like. When channels get bigger, the hate comments get flooded by the actual fanbase and nice comments or the owners delete the bad comments. This game made us realize how many people spam, ask for likes, etc on YouTube since now we remember seeing the comments on many different video content This game is fun! A bit repetitive but its still fun! And that hairpiece was supposed to be funny not a political standing as the comments that are bad were the ones who took it in a political way. Something isnt political until someone else makes it that way.
It seems like a mini game you would play in a larger game and everything starts to cost a lot of money so you have to spend hours to get one thing you should be able to get in minutes.
The game is fun at first but gets repetitive and boring very quickly. The comment rating mechanic is kind of weird but otherwise not bad for a free game. Needs more items and upgrades though.
Crushing a hairpiece on a head is in a way that looks like the President of The United States is not a message we think app developers should be sending. In these very divided times in America, we dont need any more division, especially with foreign influence. We expected better. Please remove the Angry Politician collab from this otherwise fine game.
We got bored of this game within a few hours. Very repetitive and no content.
Love the satisfying crushing animations.
Best thing to do while waiting for a new vid.
Love their channel and the app is pretty fun.
We have crushed every item and we have maxed out the press but we need more items to crush and more comments to like or dislike so Lauri and Annima add more items and press upgrades, thank you.
Thanks to the hydraulic press game our stage 4 terminal kidney cancer as vanished, our family is grateful for everything this app has to offer.
We had Stage 4 Cancer, Aids, Depression, And was getting bullied at school but as soon as we downloaded this game that all went away. That you Hydraulic Press Pocket.
It's a nice game and will kill you entertained for a short while.
This helps us relieve some stress.
We love HPC and this game is amazing.
Totally not being at gun point.
Amazing! Only wish was that there was some voice over and explosion slow mos. Hopefully a future feature.
We downloaded this app because we liked the idea of squishing stuff without actually using up valuable materials. But then the game made us dislike comments! Like, we get that theyre not real, but thats terrible! There are comments like, Dont crush a functioning toilet when some people don't have access to any! And some people would do anything for a pillow. Youre just crushing one! Are they supposed to be sarcastic or something??? Those are all real world problems and this game is basically telling us to disregard them. Im sorry. We really wanted to like this game.
We love this game, but we want you to add the items in the list:Hammer Upgrades (repairs more easily), Evolution (Choose a new Press with more upgrade amounts and new upgrades that cost more money), and a ColorBlind Mode. Thanks.
Game concept in entirety we think isnt much worth it, great fun watching a video of a ball bearing turn into a multidirectional shaped charge in slomo but re playing it on a phone game. . Just isnt near as epic, the guy and his wife do awesome stuff but an app isnt the best way to re create it for all of us atleast in our opinion.
Its a cheap knock of FPS u can crush bosses and enemies with hydraulic press guns terrible now we get bullied at school.
We don't watch a whole lot of HPC, so this is from an outsider's view. The game portrays the creators as pretty weak to criticism or as self-indulgent. Down voting a comment because someone wishes to be able to do the stuff you're doing doesn't seem fair or right. The only comments that get upvotes are "Omg, you guys are awesome, keep it up!" Albeit, we came across a single comment that offered constructive criticism gently and was properly upvoted.
Not only is this game repetitive, it gives you an immersion of what it's like to run the hydraulic press channel. What that let's us know is that they view their fans horribly, as well as not care about their fan base but are only doing this for the money. They also have done parodies (of sorts) of very popular you tubers for which we assume to make more money, sort of like YouTuber tycoon.
This game is so fun we're addicted we may have a problem this game is awesome.
This is a really good game, and we have a blast while playing it. But we feel like we've been ripped off when we have purchased A.N.N.we from the shop.
Great game love it to bits and wish the App Store had more games like this.
This game is great but we're pretty sure we've beaten it all. Please update with new item to crush and maybe more press upgrades.
The game design is very thorough and has many micro goals which keep it interesting. Problem: we've played through all the achievements but working toward the top tier camera send impossible!!!! We have 13M subscribers and only 1800K YouTube bucks. The camera is 7500k – this represents many thousands of crushes! We either need additional cameras in lower tiers, or lower the price of the camera. Thanks for the hours of fun.
