Community Insight:
The one thing that we would change wouldve been to make the game more realistic and make all the crushes seem actually seem real but other than that this is the best game ever its so much fun and the hydraulic press is really cool Im here at least it actually works and theres no like glitches that ever happened with it.
Ive been watching the HPC for years, how in the heck am we only today hearing about this game? Its so fun, we cant stop. We enjoy how youre required to maintain your equipment.
Great YouTube channel and fun game too! Thanks guys.
This game is soo entertaining! We just started playing today and already we love it! We couldnt even find a good time to write this review! 10/10 would buy! 10/10 would recommend to a friend.
Its very easy to use and navigate the menu and game. All around a great game! Great job.
Watch there youtube channels , we love them both.
Ya know just doing one thing is believed to not get you anywhere at all, but you guys proved that doing one thing can be noticed as something that has interest, and congrats on making this game.
Its a great game, and we love it, but every time we crush something it would always break our stuff! :( even a TOMATO broke our pump.
This game is easier to navigate and understand than the previous one, and we like the variety of things to crush. Its a bit difficult to figure out how to prevent damage to the press, but perhaps thats supposed to be a puzzle to figure out.
Good way to pass the time. Our kids love to play this game.
This game is diverse when it cones to interactions with the environment and gaining levels. We like how involved it is with the wearing down of tools and unlocking new items to crush. Its easy to navigate and catch on what to keep an eye on to gain levels. The adds on display are sketchy but at least the any item purchased removes ads feature gots that covered. In came animation and audio are thought out and work well. We definitely can see all ages enjoy this in their leisure. Big fan of the HydraulicPress videos.
Love it! Fun game and actually more than just tan and hold. Even if you dont like it go check out the Hydraulic Press Channel on YouTube.
This is a hilarious streaming simulator game mixed with the awesomeness of the Hydraulic Press Channel. Definitely has more to do than we were expecting and seems like theres long term playability.
Very fun game! Love their YouTube channel too.
Great game by some great people.
It's a fun game. Big fan of their YouTube and twitch channel.
Love it. One of our fav YouTube shows.
This game is a fun way to spend a few minutes relaxing. Great game, great videos.
We love the hydronic press channel and we think this game really captures that same spirit. One thing we would like to see though is more satisfying crushes. One way to do that we think would be to add some random unexpected things that happen whenever you crush something.
Its a simple game. Not much to it. But somehow its still fun to squish stuff.
Great way to pass the time between Saturday video releases.
Here supporting the hydraulic press channel.
Its a neat way to put yourself in the shoes of the hydraulic press channel and the ins and outs of creating their content. Big fan of the channel and this was pretty fun to play.
Simple great. Best time killer there is.
We like seeing Lauri & Anni in the background. Gives us confidence.
We watch Hydraulic Press Channel regularly, and now we can play the home version! Our goal is to reach the dangerous stuff, so we can deal with it.
Super fun and great to play ….. Awesome.
It is a fun game to play while waiting on the wife to finish her shopping.
Easy but fun game. Love the different things you can crush! Played for what we thought was a few minutes but turned out to be over an hour. Very addicting! Great job.
Im just trying it out now but its really fun.
1st time we played we played for around 2hrs.
As usual the game doesnt disappoint just like the HPC YouTube channel. Its a ton of fun. Download it and crush away. And here we go.
That alone is worth having The game is fun too.
Its a perfect game for killing time, and crushing stuff.
Very fun! Great way to kill time.
The game is really fun to play, and we are looking forward to future updates.
We really enjoy this game, Anni and Lauri.
Ive always wanted to crush things like that. Its actually pretty fun just getting to squish stuff.
We love the game so far!! We have enjoyed the amount we have played, and we look forward to the future updates.
We know the last update was four years ago but it's fun! Can't buy things anymore tho.
This is a cool game! We recommend it to people who wants to get a new game. Your channel is cool as well. The only thing we have a problem is that it is confusing to new players. Thats why we give it 4 stars Bye!!! From, William Stocklin.
Press breaks more than a Harbor Freight unit…otherwise an entertaing and fun way to spend a few minutes.
If you are a fan of the Hydraulic Press Channel, this is a great way to support the creative team without pressing your wallet. The game play is straightforward, with multiple simple tasks so avoid monotony. You can upgrade equipment, open fan mail, and send internet trolls where they belong. We hope to find the Worminator 5.000.000 soon.
Extra content Guess which is stronger.
Whether you try and hit the sweet spot on the gauge or just hold down til the item is destroyed, its tons of fun. What we like is that an adult can enjoy this game, but also really young kids can get a kick out of it.
Makes us wish we had a real press to smash stuff.
We dont see it keeping our interest for long but its entertaining in the short term.
Our press kept brakeing and it was confusing it is bad do not recommend.
Every item gets crushed in the exact same way theres no real crush to it its just a corny flatten and thats it. You only get to crush two items before your piston breaks and it takes hundreds of taps to "fix" it. Upgrading tools is hella expencive when you only get one coin per crush, mind tou the crush is super slow to come down. The first upgrade starts at 50 coins and we didnt even have enough after five crushes. The game didnt last five minutes on our fone thats how terrible it was. Unrealistic crushes, too expencive upgrades, wonky controls for sliding to accept or deny comments, the characters design looking creepy. EVERYTHING needing to be REPAIRED CONSTANTLY. Stupid game. Could easily find a way better crusher on the app store. Dont waste your time.
