| May 8 13:09:08 | Operation Alien Translation | ♥ 2 | I'm going to rate this objectively as if it wasn't me. it has a very high level of polish, graphics are lovely as usual. If this was the first game I ever saw from you I'd be like "Great Job Man!", I can even see it winning the jam because it has the traits of a jam winner. And you know I love your games but my honest review: it just feels a bit.. empty. I renamed the first word at the start because I chose something completely arbitrary that didn't look like the symbol but after the rename I just typed all the words in to completion, my playthrough was like.. 2-3 minutes. it reminded me mechanically of MEMORO and Lost In Translation but it just wasn't as tight as either and doesn't really explore the mechanic. I dunno what it's missing but I feel like there could have been longer gaps with gameplay in between the words so I'd have some reason to forget them or be confused or utilise them in a way that isn't just "type these words as quickly as you can". the gameplay was essentially equivalent to doing an online typing test but without getting a wpm at the end. However, I saw someone else recorded a 15 minute video of this game so I'll take into account that the average person may not just choose clear words and blast through it immediately objectively speaking it's max score on graphics, it's a good use of the theme, it's got mood, it's amusing, audio was fine, inno I find it derivative of your other games but it's better than 90% of entries and funwise - it's not bad like I won't downrate it but it was just fine | |
