[Dead Detention #3.5]

This is such a stupid series.

You spam through dialog then complete some mindlessly easy minigame.

How does this get anything above a 3 from anyone?

JackAstral responds:

Ahaha fair enough

[Lune: Nightmare Time (Alpha 0.1)]

die on boss (because it has a stupid amount of health) and... u start whole game over.

yeah... no.

CrabRabbit responds:

Sorry you're not a fan of it. I wanted Lune to be a Megaman-like with a throwback difficulty ala NES. Perhaps I'll add continues for those that can't handle it. ;)

[CAZE]

-too slow

-hate that i had to use WASD and couldn't use arrow keys. in a one-handed game, arrow keys are preferable

-inappropriate music

-music way too loud. if i lower my speaker volume even one millimeter, they're silent. at the minimum to hear the music it's loud as hell

-most importantly: a completely uninspired and boring concept.

-graphics.. there basically are none.. and not in a charmingly minimalist way.

CjElliott responds:

-Looking at your medals you are still on the controls tutorial of the levels, the game gets faster and a lot more challenging on the later levels.
-Use Space bar to speed up the game for the first few levels if needed.
- Arrow keys are supported, simply press the keys.

-Sorry that the music is too loud, you are the first person to state this, I will look into it.

-Sorry that you don't like my idea, most others seem to enjoy it.

Thanks for reviewing my game :D

[Wizurd]

I got 107.. and submitted high score and I don't see myself on the high score list.

Window is too small. I don't like the lack of mobility and how small the room is.

The music is a bit jarring without a bass track

HenrikSahlin responds:

Your score did get submitted, just look again it is there.

[The Company of Copperhill]

It just didn't grab me. The art was great. The sound seemed fine. The music was good.

Combat was nice and simple, a nice change from the tedious combat of other games in this genre.

But I'm just not attracted to clicking through lots of exposition.

The best stories are told implicitly. I think using lots of dialog is lazy and breaks immersion.

People don't understand that theme is far more important than story.

I think obectively I can give this a 4, despite what to me were shortcomings, the quality of the game was higher than my experience.

Hyptosis responds:

Thanks!

[Atomic]

I like this genre. I liked the game this is a clone of a lot and this is a fun twist with the upgrades.

It is missing something big though. A replay button at the end of levels you get at least one star on.

That was VERY annoying.

blit-blat responds:

There is a replay button! At the top, the third one along, the circle arrow, you can click that at any time to restart that level! Enjoy!

[Electric Cock Rocket]

It would have been funny if the premise was that the reason alien's anal probed us was so they could collect our poop to use as ammunition.

DBuck-Eye responds:

I like your thinking. Maybe I'll steal that for the sequel...
