A nicely-done cartoon art style but an absolutely terrible and boring game. I know people often say this, but there are plenty of free flash games that are far more entertaining than this. It is not worth any amount of money.

The kick in the teeth is you can't redefine the controls, you can't use a controller and there's no score.

It's a rip off of bittrip runner. It makes me so angry.

Honestly, copying another game but undercutting their price is just shameful, embarassing, infuriating.

I really hope this guy gets sued.

Game does not work with non-qwerty layouts.

I think it intercepts the keyboard and doesn't pass it on to Windows or something because I can't use ctrl shift 1 to change from dvorak to qwerty. This is unusual. In all other games, this works.

The dev suggested changing the xml file to specify the keys I want directly because there is no redefining keys in the program yet.

I tried editing this xml file and it does respond in some way sometimes to the keys you specify, but it doesn't work properly and despite lots of times trying I can't get it to use the keys I want.

You probably think 1/10 is not fair because the game works for most people. I don't care. It doesn't work for me. They think they can charge top prices for it and put the game in a bundle and so on, and it doesn't even handle keyboards properly. It's not good enough and I won't tolerate it.

This is a very short batch script full of echos, inputs, ifs and gotos. It has been turned into an exe with some utility and then packed with UPX.

Calling it a text adventure is an insult to real text adventures or interactive fiction which have working parsers, inventory systems, real plots, dynamic locations, dialogue, etc.

This "game" basically consists of some awful, juvenile, sexual "jokes" such as you might find on those parts of the internet that make you hit your back button as fast as you can with an extremely rudimentary system for travelling between them. (Basically multiple choice but you are forced to type out the whole option exactly).

I wouldn't install something like this. I don't think it does anything evil but I'm not going to run it to find out. The text inside the file if you un-UPX is does reference rmdir. Let's hope this is just some automatically-generated thing by the script-to-exe program and nothing malicious.

edit: Hmm. It's weird that Desura wouldn't let me rate the game 0. It says "The rating field must be greater than one". Actually they should have but "greater than or equal to".

Unskippable screens on boot raise the blood pressure.
No graphics options whatsoever.
Game runs at between 2 to 5 FPS on my machine. (And I can run Crysis2 etc. fine).
No way to exit except Alt F4.
