Game Review: Barbershop Simulator
| Review Score | |
|---|---|
| Gameplay |    |
| Humorous and strangely satisfying. Fairly enjoyable to shave strangers for cash. | |
| Replay Value | |
| After the novelty wears off, there won't be much to entice you to come back except to get a few chuckles. | |
| Graphics | |
| Some nice looking 3D objects, but nothing in the spectacular department. | |
| Audio | |
| Sounds and music fit the bill. | |
| Overall | |
|---|---|
| An entertaining novelty for a few hours that is good for a few laughs. | |
Introduction
If you have ever dreamed of opening your own barbershop to shave interesting patterns with facial hair and earn money doing so, then Barbershop Simulator by Shavetastic is your dream come true. This free, downloadable, windows, indie game was made by a group of game design students. Many a YouTube video was made and the game has practically gone viral. Personally, at first glance I thought that Bossa Studios had made another game in the same vein as Surgeon Simulator. While not as weird and wacky, Barbershop Simulator has much less gore and is fun for a few hours.
Updated Games Page
I have revamped the games page with all (one) games I have made so far. Pig Pinball is my first game as Utopian Pig Studio and is currently a work-in-progress that you can try out now for free. It may be about pinball… and pigs. Also on the games page a curated list has been of free online games you can play right now. Interesting games I encounter that can be played right in your browser will be continuously added to this list. You will notice that I have done a bit of work to allow you to play the games in full screen. Check it out.
Utopian Pig Studio – Indie Game Innovation at its Best
I would like to introduce Utopian Pig Studio, which will serve as the brand of my indie game innovation starting with Pig Pinball. Pig Pinball’s vision is to bring the indie spark of creativity to pinball by introducing unique game modes and pigs. The “standard” game mode has turrets shooting missiles towards your ball. The “Brick Buster” mode is a hybrid of pinball with breakout. Another mode that is still a work-in-progress is the pig farming mode. In this mode, you catch wild pigs in the field and care for them on your ranch. The twist being that all this is done on a pinball table.
Get the game (alpha version) while it’s still free and get all future updates to the game, which includes the full release version when it comes out. Optionally, you may choose to pay in order to support development of the game. What you are still waiting for? Go download Pig Pinball and enjoy some indie innovative fun!
