First Impressions:
The boot screen art is beautiful and soulful. Clicking on new game is how I learned mouse does not work in this game
After impressions:
“Words words words” - Hamlet -William Shakespear
The writing has charm, but good God there’s a lot of it, my dude has time for full on conversations while a woman is getting mugged. I guess it makes sense considering the twist, but still, nearly broke my spacebar. He later spends a feature film’s amount of time beating himself up, calling himself pathetic. I’d rather watch Evangelion. Seriously that outshines any other gameplay.
Gameplay is fine. Merging the yoyo felt like a nice reward, and the fact that it worked in a unique way was good. I don’t see much of a way to keep adding to the formula besides unique weapons and some map hazards. The sweep on the lamp was massive, but I was able to get him in hitstun by spamming the pepper spray. I wish there were better movement options, like jumping or some variety.
The vocal song sounded like AI music. The high notes he sang were distorted like AI music is, but I’m no expert
Some bugs:
I had to lure Man1 in the top right corner by the light in order to get the pepper spray, get the banana and have time to disassemble it in my inventory. Pepper spray wasn’t effective enough compared to camping in that corner. If you die during the boss fight, pepper spray uses don’t always refresh z
Something that didn’t work as I expected:
I tried to squeeze between the car and the alley, but I didn’t fit. In fact I collided with quite a few things.
