Our Expert Score

85/100

Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion is a masterclass in absurdist humor and tight indie game design. It plays like a top-down Legend of Zelda game, but instead of a heroic knight, you're a mischievous turnip who has been evicted for failing to pay his taxes. The writing is the real standout here; it's genuinely funny, self-aware, and packed with internet-culture references that never feel forced.

The gameplay loop of exploring dungeons, solving puzzles, and 'ripping up' every piece of paper you find (which acts as your primary collectible) is incredibly satisfying. The boss fights are surprisingly well-designed, offering a fair challenge without being frustrating. It's a short game—you can finish it in about 3 hours—but every minute is packed with personality and polish. It’s one of those rare games that will leave you smiling from start to finish.

If nothing else, try the demo.

(Minor spoilers in parentheses) Look I know that a lot of games look basic and end up being meh, but trust me when I tell you that this is not one of those games. It has an in depth story that actually gets kind of sad at times, and the plot is very well written. The main character does not seem to take in much info, but as the player you get to see a post-apocalyptic world run by plants, told with a cutesy design that makes the game awesome. The clues are a little tricky sometimes, the key is to take everything literally (for example when the gamer asks for tier 3 subs in the demo she does not want subscribers, she wants a sub sandwich). Truly one of my favorite games to play, ever. At the very least give the demo a shot, and if it’s not for you that’s fine! But I’m willing to bet that 9/10 people will adore it. I know I do! Also you will see a few reviews saying that you have to pay and they don’t tell you, but the description quite literally says that only the demo is free, and you have to pay a fee for the whole game. It’s totally worth it, too!

This game cured my cancer.
Mon Jun 13 2022 Average Spud Enjoyer

Before I had this game I was a small sickly, weak, little, tiny, baby man. submitting to the tyranny of the government, and not evading taxes like a good citizen. I was in the hospital every other day with stage six cancer, the taxes and bills were piling up. Mainly the taxes. My wife divorced me, my children stole my car and killed my dog. But then… I felt a disturbance in the force. A disturbance so powerful it shook the very earth with its might. I was out weeding my garden, that was diminishing for lack of care. When suddenly, out of the ground a small round white vegetable called a turnip appeared much to my dismay, or so I thought. The words he spoke were strange, but I understood them. He enlightened me, he broadened my mind and my scope of reality. He told me that he could save me, that he could get me out of my debt and my woes, through the power of turnip magic… and tax evasion. With his turnip magic he cured my cancer, he brought my wife and my kids and most importantly my car back. He gave me guns… Lots of guns to get rid of the people that killed my dog. And then he gave me new children because they were the ones who killed my dog. And then he brought my dog back. And then, through his powers of turnip tax evasion, my bills and my taxes were gone. I had no more debt… I was free. His one and only request, was that I check out a small game in which he does turnip things… like evading taxes. It was a simple request and I was happy to oblige. For all that he had done for me I would give at most two fingers. And so I write to you, reader. To share the wonders that this turnip, and his game, and turnip magic and his tax evasion have done for me. His only request to you reader, is that you try his little game, and maybe fortune, (or a small turnip) Will smile upon you in your days of strife.

I. LOVE. THE. PEOPLE. WHO. MADE. THIS. GAME.

Ok now I’m not exaggerating. This is an ADORABLE action-packed RPG game-. Now people might complain about the price and argue that you actually have to buy the rest of the game, but I say otherwise. Go through the first part of the game and count how many ads there are. Spoiler: there are none. This game doesn’t include any ads, so it’s expected that they need to make some moolah 💵 one way or another. Plus, it’s only five dollars. Most of the times you don’t even get a sneak-peak-like demo, so it’s nice to get an insight to what the game is actually like BEFORE buying it. There’s Lots to do in the game, the art style is so amazing that saying it’s “adorable” would be a complete understatement, the dialogue is absolutely creative as well as hilarious, so much so that you can tell the developers let themselves have fun when they made the game. And I find that really charming. So yeah- this game is really cute and charming (again not exaggerating). As for the developers, I love this game so much and it has a special place in my heart. Keep up the amazing work. ❤️

Controllers are supported!!!

First off, I only game on my ipad. Second, I had this title’s release date marked in my calendar. I was excited. That said, I was not let down. The gameplay mechanics are simple but clever and incredibly well done. There are both combat and puzzle elements to the gameplay and the two are often blended, like when fighting a boss. The story line is well done. The game is generally funny. And when it comes to an end, you are left with endless fun. (No spoilers) It can easily be played by LITERALLY ANYONE WHO CAN READ. YOU CHOOSE YOUR LEVEL OF CHALLENGE and the game can be challenging. Finally, CONTROLLERS ARE SUPPORTED!!! So an amazing game with controller support, end game content, multiple challenge levels, and a great story. Plain and simple, an amazing game. The only quirk is that an experienced gamer can play through it in under a day but this means speed runs can be very fun. Want to run it more than once on a Saturday? You can and it has a speed run timer built in. Id 100% but this game again.

What did I just play

This game surprised me so much. I expected this to be a fun little game to play when I get bored on the weekends or something but OH no. I played this entire game in one sitting and loved it. The dialogue, the art style, the music, all of it. Is it worth five dollars? Not...Yet. This game is incredible and I totally recommended, but I've spent five dollars on other games that have entertained me for weeks, and this entertained me for about 2 hours, maybe a little more. The game can be a lot of back and forth, just a lot of the same. It'd be fun if there were side quests that were longer than 10 seconds and not just fetch quests. And it'd also be cool if we could have a feww more areas. But overall, best five dollars I've ever spent, thank you developers for giving me an amazing gaming experience. I hope this game makes others laugh as much as I did.

Turnup the taxess!

Honestly was surprised at how well this game was made but also at how short it was. I completed the game, got all 37 of the achievements and tore up everything muah hahahaha in just a few hours hehe. Turnip boy is the cutest and most rebellious lil fella that you can’t help but love and the story of the game was well thought out. I also love the cute little veggie character designs as well. Some things that I was confused about are humans and how these veggies actually came to life. What happened to the humans and what about the guy that was with Liz the human girl? My guess is that they’re all dead or mutated or hidden from the rest of the world. Was the gooo the so call “virus” that came out from nuclear atomic weapons or maybe it’s radio active stuff that kills humans and give life to inanimate objects? Also, the hardest boss in this game in my opinion was the dam rotten apple cat. Ngl I died a few times mainly cuz I’m not patient enough to wait for her to stop spinning around. In any case I thought Mayor Onion would be hard but ehhhh he’s pretty weak while squabbling about world domina- taxation and greed. Overall I enjoyed the game play and the controls were pretty smooth. If only turnip boy always walked so fast with the coffee things would’ve gone much faster lol. 5 dollars is kinda pricy but at the same time because it’s basically equivalent to two bus rides or a Starbucks drink so I don’t mind it too much. I would recommend this game to all ages because it’s cute and funny for little kids and very relatable for adults that pay taxes (yes that included every one of u). I can’t wait to play more games like this! :)

Pretty good but could be better

Honestly, as a game that has no ads i 100% understand why there is a pay wall, which is totally fine with me. However, i feel like considering there IS payment, the game should have more to it. After you finish defeating the final boss and everything, there isnt much else to do other than find new hats or get achievements. I feel like there should be another adventure like maybe turnip boy gets to go to another land. Overall, this game is actually pretty great and i really like the character customization of hats. Its super cute art style with many characters and your ability to interact with them is also pretty great, since some games just have people for decoration. P.S, i haven’t played this game since the last time i finished it, so maybe they actually have updated, but the last update notice was a year ago which was before i started the game.

Cool game! :D

This game is very amazing. Nice character designs, nice hats, and the plot is also amazing, too! I honestly feel like this game is for anyone who likes adventure games and/or pixel style games. Although I just got this game today like an hour ago, I already love it! It’s very fun, but I’m kinda stuck on one part because this one NPC won’t let me into the “Bustling Barn” or whatever it’s called. So please make some of the quests easier. Also could we maybe add the option to kill NPCs with a weapon such as a sword cuz we can kill the snails and stuff? That would be rlly cool! And also pls pls pls make it free for the whole game cuz I’m rlly poor but I rlly wanna play this game! Ty for reading this! -a new player and I’m not saying my name cuz yea P.S. the mayor is a noob but don’t tell him I said that (the mayor in the game btw cuz I’m not crazy)
