Great music, was confused as to what to do, though. :/

i liked where the game in theory, but couldn't figure out what to do. was i supposed to be able to use the computers?

I liked the pitch, the player movements and the controls are quite buggy, and it's hard to find what we have to do. But there is some nice idea behind !

Had to run it in compatibility mode to get it to work (I have windows 8.1 if that helps). And the controls were not great.

I agree with the last comment: the music was really good, but it wasn't at all clear what you're supposed to do. It didn't help that the intro screen disappeared way before I could read it all.

This was pretty hard to play due to some glitchy controls. Was a bit opaque to me.

Cool conceptand a nice game play.

Didn't quite grasp what to do. And all the controls presented in the begining go to much, so I needed to go back there all the time to recheck what the buttons did. Gamer mode was nice. Got stuck above the wall when trying to jump over grampa. Like a super mario brother!

I can't understand what should I do,if I go into gamer mode and press U near the PC with the USB thumb nothing happens.I can't go past the grandfather because,I suppose, the solution is in the PC. Also the controls were a little buggy

Couldn't launch the game

This game has humor.

I managed to pick up covers but couldn't seem to get the usb to work on the computer so I got a little stuck. Like the gamer eyes mode though.

I like the concept of gamer vision but the controls and movement were a bit awkward and I was not sure what to do at first being overwhelmed with options, but I did make some progress even though I could not figure out how to use the computers which ended my experience.

Sorry, but this game just a bit too buggy. Better luck next time!

Controls were somewhat weird (espacially when jumping), and I could not seem to get the USB key to work with the computer (I did get a game cover though).
I suppose that the computer is somehow useful to get past the dad?

like the music. couldn't get the usb key to work on the computer but i got the first cover at least. managed to glitch myself out of the lever over the first person :p

Hmm... nice music, cool game concept but... Hm.

- That tutorial text: "use USB drive to hack" and "use gamer eyes, and pick up cover" followed me thro entire game.
- Collisions are little buggy, ex. I float between first computer and stairs.
- I'd be great if 1st computer actually do something visible. I used everything in both modes, before I give up and move along. Seeing 2nd computer really make me upset, but I tried to hack it, and hey, it worked.
Then I alt-tabed game and it crashed. I go 2nd time, didn't even bother with 1st comp, and encountered doors. Now I know that 1st comp actually do something, but...
- I'd be great if game covers were for something, not just collectables, ex they were slightly changing gamers eye mode, or sth.
- After reaching 2nd lvl game covers messed up.

Fun idea but a bit difficult because of the controls, and not enough feedback and what does or doesnt work.. for example couldn't get the usb drive to work on the PC, atleast I didn't notice anything that happened.

ceriseghost 2014-05-10 08:26

I liked the game in theory! If only I could figure out how to play this game. The "gamers eyes" feature was cool though.

ciderpunk 2014-05-17 13:36

nifty tune, couldn't get far though..
