Please tell us what you think of the game; use of the words "compelling" and "cinematic" are already assumed in your reviews.

Um, I guess this is funny as a satire. But that's one joke, not a game.

 

[ObserveAndSeek]

LOL. Totally loved it. Best game of this century.

 

[Skiftnycklar]

Mmmmm...quick time events. Makes me think back to the vehicle part in Resident Evil 5. And that's not a good thing.

 

[Captain Pancake]

I got stuck on the "army of two" QTE. That's right, I got stuck on a frickin' quicktime event.

 

[Cade the Imperfect]

I enjoyed quicktime events for the most part...till now.

well done XD

 

[Souplex]

Better than Half Life 2!

 

[dududf]

GAME OF THE YEAR ANYBODY ??!!

Take THAT Mew Two, your NEMESIS.

Kinda funny, ending was best.

 

[Valiance]

Very stylish, I really loved the ending references thing and yeah. Sound could have been sampled a little bit better, but still lovely.

 

[Distorted Stu]

I COULDNT PRESS X FAST ENOUGH FUUUUUU

 

[HardRockSamurai]

I do believe that a fresh new circle in hell has been drawn...

 

[SamuelT]

I'm pretty sure I'm pressing the X. Yet I died.

Oh the irony.

 

[diabloclown]

Hehe. I liked it. Kudos for the ending. I wish the sound bytes were better though.

 

[Nazrel]

I remember some Sega CD games that were only QTE.

 

[Richard Kain]

In terms of gameplay, it is easy to see why it did not win.

But when it comes to referencing Zero Punctuation, this one takes the cake. It uses sound, graphics, and even situations from the show in a creative fashion. And it wraps it all up in Yahtzee's most despised game mechanic.

I have to give the author props for the comedy in this title. Though insanely simple, it is pretty well implemented. The use of the art assets and sound effects were both creative and humorous. It felt that it was very much in line with the style of the show. Brief, but manic and too the point.

 

[Ohlookit'sMatty]

The sound in this make it an annoyin game to play // usin half a second of Yahtzee voice can work but only if there is something playin along it just not screamed at you each time and out of no where

-M

 

[londelen]

Fun, but I can't beat the army of two level.

 

[wolfy098]

And I loved quicktime events

 

[Beldaros]

that was strangely compelling and yours is the only game I actually enjoyed.

 

[SpikeyGirl]

Well I spent a few minutes out of my life playing it, then completing it, it's got to mean something right.

I think thats the quickest I've ever started and finished a game though. Not long enough to get bored by or waste away trying to complete.
