Scritchy Scratchy

Fun, short but fun. I think the price is a little high for the amount of content. The bug I experienced was fixed with the latest update.

This game is like a really good skeleton of a much better game.

The thing that sticks out to me most is that it really feels like there’s going to be more to it. I kept feeling like I was about to discover something novel but nope, more of the same. The phone person seems like they’re going to reveal something about the world, or mess with you, or I dunno, something could happen to them where you’re affecting them with your actions. I don’t know it just feels like it’s all set up to be a bit of a choose your adventure à la Papers Please, or at least more varied between run like a deckbuilder or even just weirder and more atmospheric and world-buildy.

The progression is more straightforward than it could be, the numbers go up, they go up faster, they go up with less effort. After a couple runs watching the numbers go up barely requires your participation. I wasn’t excited about most of the skill tree—oh I can keep my job that pays $3 for longer? Yay. After like three runs I could just not do that job at all and make $100 in three pulls. Some kind of horizontal progression would be nice; perks, tradeoffs, new rules, etc. Not sure how to work that into the scratch-off conceit, but if the devs want to hire me I can help figure it out lol.

Anyway, I wouldn’t have written all this except that I think they’ve made something pretty good with so much potential that I was expecting it to be realized at every turn. Seemed like some feedback might actually be valuable to someone.

Fun little game that satisfies an urge without any of the consequences. I loved seeing all the new types of scratchers.

I ran into one issue where after winning the final scratcher, I tossed it in the trash without claiming it, and the next final scratcher I won softlocked me.

To start, I had a lot of fun playing the game. I literally couldn’t put it down! My only gripe was I was able to complete the game in less than 24 hours and that was without maxing the skill tree. In fact, I was a bit surprised when I reached the ending because I only needed to prestige 4-5 times and maybe bought 70% of the upgrades.

To the developer. Great game. My 2 cents is to have game completion more closely aligned with content only achieved by maxing out the skill tree. It just felt weird when I finished.

This is not a quick game you can get through in a day or two like most games, there are many challenges you can meet that keep you playing again and again. I’ve personally looked for scratch card games in the past but they all sucked in comparison. I genuinely have a lot of fun playing this game and I enjoy that you can either play or afk. I don’t typically write reviews but the reason I bought this game was based on someone else’s review! So I figured I’d share my experience on this game.

Edit: I’ve finished the game and if you are a type of person so likes to hunt for trophies/ 100% a game this is a game to buy. Well worth it in my opinion.

This game is sort of like cookie clicker. I love it

Honestly I’m so angry because I’ve replayed this so many times and can’t find another game that even comes close to how much I love this one. I just keep deleting my save and replaying it. Please please have something else in the works like this. My favorite game ❤️

I am slightly addicted

Makes me forget about my alcoholic father

Fun game, worth the money.

It’s incredible, love this game!

I watched Joe Bart play and needed to play, bought immediately when I saw it on the App Store. Just wish it were a little longer or had some sort of sandbox/idle mode. Still amazing though

I never write reviews but theirs game is fun

Solid game that will take 4-5 hours to beat. Enjoyed it. Worth the price.

This game consumed for life for a couple of days. I'm scratching lotto cards in my dreams. Every now and then, I get the urge to scratch and open the app. Thank you Scritchy Scratchy for scratching my itch.
