Not bad, but very uneven, November 18, 2011by trojo (Huntsville, Alabama, USA) In this game you are a kitten exploring your owner's house from a kittenly perspective. This is an interesting idea for a short, atmospheric piece, but unfortunately the narrative voice is very uneven over the course of the game, which is deadly for something trying to be atmospheric. For example, you don't know what certain common household objects such as (Spoiler - click to show)walls and doors are supposed to be called, instead calling them something else, but the text of the game sometimes uses the words (Spoiler - click to show)walls and doors to describe those things anyway-- oversights I suppose. Also it seems strange that a kitten wouldn't know what (Spoiler - click to show)walls and doors are, but would know what words like "plethora", "threshold", (Spoiler - click to show)"palace", "phone", etc, mean. In fact the gap in the PC's vocabulary is apparently almost completely limited to (Spoiler - click to show)the correct words for walls and doors. Was this review helpful to you?

Somehow I can't scare up the motivation to do so. Funny how that works, isn't it? trojo, November 19, 2011 - Reply It's your job to fix your released game, not mine. If you don't want reviews, don't submit your games to a review site. AmberShards, December 30, 2011 - Reply No, it's not my "job" to fix my game. You have no power to compel me to do it, and your words don't persuade me to do it, either. Next time, if you want someone to fix a game (which I kinda doubt was your objective here), try submitting a bug report, or at least don't be an obnoxious turd about it. You wrote a scorched earth review and so what you get is a refusal. Don't like it? Too bad. It's my "job"? *laughs* It's my option, and I don't take orders from abusive people. Now, away with you. You have been plonked. trojo, January 3, 2012 - Reply You've been stewing over this for a while it looks like. Sorry you took my objective criticism so personally. It's funny how someone whose profile says "don't expect me to pull any punches if I don't care for your game. I will not." would be so hyper-sensitive and thin-skinned about constructive criticism of their own work. I guess you're allowed to dish it out but not take it in? Further, it's telling that you don't even raise any objections to the problems noted in my review. You know those problems are there as well as I do, but you choose to make this about your feelings rather than about finding ways to improve your game. |
