Bad:
- graphics are rather basic and the color scheme in levels is ugly (green-ish, gray-ish)
- when moving your character, there is a rather noticeable delay while the animation is playing, and this gets very annoying. You have to wait those fractions of a second every time because WASD key presses don't have any effect until the animation is done. These hiccups destroy fluidity of movement and artificially slow you down
- English texts are rather poorly written, with words frequently used incorrectly. The credits say the game was made by a diverse selection of students - cmon, none of them was a native English speaker?
- there are some religious statements...
- the game is rather short, with just about 20 levels
Overall, unless you are a supporter of BLM etc and want to play this for political reasons, this game is barely worth your time, even for free.… Expand
