Yo. This will be the thread where I post my thoughts on certain game that have earned my ire over the years.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First off, why don't we start with something nice and easy, though also slightly obscure. That being A-Ville Platform Game which you can find here
This game is the work of one Johan Von Hellstein, who has a thread on these very boards. https://kiwifarms.net/threads/johan-von-hellsten-avillemedia.20278/
He's known for making a rubbish comic and hating the Kiwi Farms, and also for attempting to make his creation of 'A-Ville' become a multimedia franchise....almost like another cow we all know and love.
Point is, the game is done in the same style as his comic, which is to say....well... just look at the fucking comic.
In turn, the game decides to use the same art style.
Oh dear.
So, the best way I can describe this game is if Mega Man was made by an idiot. First of all, check out these controls.
WASD doesn't work, you have to use the arrow keys, which is pretty shitty already. However, you might be mistaken for thinking that Z and X are two separate attacks. You would be wrong, Z shoots left and X shoots right. There's no real reason for this, other than to give you an extra button to press.
The animation quality is fairly terrible, when you jump you are stuck in the same position you are when walking.
The idea of the game is to kill the enemies and collect the A-Ville coins scattered about the place. All well and good, but unfortunately combat is also really, really lame.
There is no hit detection in this game, like in any good platformer. The projectiles go through the enemies.
Yeah. Still, about three projectiles kill the enemies and they are generally rather easy to kill.
However, the laziest part of this game is the death animation. One hit and you die, which already sucks, and what happens when that hit lands?
You vanish and about ten seconds later you reload at the start of the game.
In short, this game sucks, but it's just a kind of lame suck rather than a Revolution 60 level of suck.

If anyone wants me to review any other game, let me know in this thread. Good fucking luck.
