It could be a simple platformer game, with some touches of "grab an item there to unlock a door here", and, in fact, it is. But the details make this game great. I liked much the idle screensaver, and the way the scenery tells us the story - minimalistic as it is, but still a story, still something going on. And the final is a great conclusion for it all.
"ALAN", right?
I saw what you did there ;)
Took me some losing to realize this is NOT a rythm game.
The physics look weird at first, but it gets interesting later.
I guess the challenge is in the physics, otherwise the obstacles and platforms and jumps would be too easy.
If you replace the ball with a bouncy car tire - like that ones you see on Donkey Kong Country (SNES), the physics would make more sense ^^
This is good. The game is well made, good graphs, good controls, it's fun and all.
But just two things doesn't fit in my mind:
- There's a lot of "parking games" around, but this one is different because it's muscle cars. So, why the cars move so slow, even going forward? Where is the "High horsepower"?
- If my car is already parked in a good spot, why should I just leave the spot and go park in another, and then do it again? The only reasonable goal is showing skills, like in a contest.
But, overall, I liked it.
Thanks for the comments.
You're right, the muscle car stuff is all just graphical. It's kept slow to make the gameplay better. (we have an ingame car editor to alter all of these parameters.)
Because we only have digital throttle control on PCs it's really hard to make the car go slowly and carefully, as well as going fast.
Same for the multiple parking bays: it's just a bit of fun! :)
The guy's wife died. Then I pressed left until the guy killed himself to be with her.
I'll not wander in the philosophical/psicological matter of the story, everyone thinks the way he/she wants, but this can be barely called "game". It's an interactive movie, when some part of the animation is controlled by the used.
Also, I found pretty "forced" some elements of the story - from the church to the cemetery, the first-meet place was conviniently placed there (like "Hey, I'm a important place to this couple story and I came here so Walter can pass through me and add some more sadness to the story").
The music is nice, I'm giving one star for it.
It reminds me the Rebuild series, which is also too awesome.
It's the same idea: defend, rescue, scavenge, survive through the days. but's a shooter.
5/5
There's a too much simple gameplay, but the story makes this great!
Jetz72 said it all.
I'm just dropping the stars.
