Going into Anger Foot I knew exactly what to expect. Fun levels, a
timer, and the incessant need to try and beat my previous time. I don't
have a particular love for this genre of game, but without fail I find
myself wrapped up in trying to beat my previous time over and over. It's
simple and enjoyable fun that'll last ya for a while, so long as you're
entertained.
Unfortunately Anger Foot doesn't keep you
entertained for long because it shoots itself in the foot by being
criminally short. On my very first play through I only managed to get 11
minutes of playtime out of it, and that was with needing to redo the
second level a number of times. I can't fault it for this, because it's
both a "prototype" and a 7DFPS game jam entry, I expected it to be
short. But, the game didn't need to start gettin' good on me and then
abruptly end.
Gameplay is what you'd expect though, run and gun,
restarting when you mess up. Somtimes dying because you can't shoot.
Maybe a little more than sometimes. Level design is pretty nice, I mean I
never stopped and questioned the bathrooms connecting two separate
rooms, or why some dude was just in a closet by himself. I think my
biggest complaint was level 3 for being gun heavy, it felt like it
wasn't Anger Foot, but Anger Gun. Partly that could be because there are
only a small handful of levels, but it just stuck out like a sore thumb
to me.
Speaking of guns, I have one more complaint.
When you get shot the effects displayed make it very difficult to
recover from, or at least for me. You can recover from it, and one could
honestly argue just to not get hit. However, I found the visuals really
distracting and it would frustrate me when I wasn't able to recover or
when I would get it. I'd honestly prefer to just be KO'd in a single
hit.
Overall Anger Foot turned out to be a fun little game. It
doesn't really scratch my itch for a fast paced, run and gun, beat your
previous time type of game. It just ends way too abruptly and leaves me
wanting more. So I hope you guys continue to develop the game into
something more. You've got something simple and nice here!
