Task Bar Hero Sets Concurrent Player Record Amid Mixed Reviews and Controversy

526,596 players. Not bad. The game's still got 513,272 online, which is insane considering the mixed reviews and all the controversy surrounding it - it's clear that Task Bar Hero has managed to tap into something, even if that something is just a morbid curiosity about how an indie idle game can simultaneously attract and alienate so many people with its unique blend of addictive gameplay and questionable design choices.

Now, the devs have to get tougher on data collection to stop cheating. They've made it stricter, no doubt. But innocent players are getting caught up in this, and it's causing a lot of anger. Players are frustrated, it's clear. They're upset about the false cheating accusations, and also the loss of loot and progress due to tech problems, which is really annoying, especially when you consider that updates meant to fight cheating have actually made the game experience worse for many players, which is pretty key to the whole controversy surrounding Task Bar Hero.
