Not in a way to lash out just at you -
But pixel-games tend to lack serious quality in all factors (especially game ideas)- just because its retro doesnt mean it can be as horrible as possible.
Recently almost all frontpaged games i see is pixel - and they are all the same. Totally useless, but hey! its ok its "retro".
This seriously starts to get monotonic -somehow stickfigures are more interesting then this.
As for the game itself - i seriously think it would have been more tempting if you did a bit work on the idea of the game itself - again its the same pattern, its pixelated and therefore the story can suck. There is no real challenge or plot. you run around in a poorly animated, repetetive music and collect notes.
I think you need to start by understanding *why* a lot of games end up pixelated. A lot of these games are made by one person. That means we spend painstaking hours drawing everything, writing every song, placing every tile, writing every line of code. In short, we get better at all of these aspects and pixels are one of the more accessible ways to draw art assets that are acceptable to look at, given our low time budget. It's not some pretentious lash at "trying to be retro". I want to make a game, I want to express my ideas, but I don't have a large budget to hire an artist or the time to get a friend to draw for me. So, I do what I can.
"Totally useless"? What does that even mean? A lot of these games are people trying to contribute to a creative medium, and you're calling them useless because they don't fall into line with what your perception of what a game should be.
Your claim that every "[game you] see is pixel - and they are all the same" is totally unwarranted. Within pixel art there are many styles of art, and to generalize not only the art but also the game design in each is to be ridiculously ignorant. Is it possible that the average quality of these games is lower than others? Sure.
I have no problem with you thinking the game is "poorly animated, repetetive (sic) music and collect notes". Those are your opinions and you're welcome to think that. However, one opinion that you state, "there is no real challenge", I have a bit of a problem with. Evidenced by your lack of medals and appearance on the high score board, you didn't even play the game enough to make a conclusion like that. You've basically done the equivalent of listening to the first track of an album and concluding "You know, this is kind of simple music". Now if you had played through the entire game and say that? Sure, I'd be fine, as long as you back your reasoning up.
I'm sorry this game pissed you off enough to write a review like this. It's also unfortunate you decided to shit on hundreds of hours of my life by voting it a zero. From now on, I hope you try to think differently when commenting on other humans' creative works.
Remember, this isn't just some bag of bits that appeared out of nowhere. This was a human attempting to bring to life some sort of idea. Hey, it's not perfect. Maybe you don't like the music, the gameplay, or anything, that's fine. But you could at least show some respect.
It's interesting but one thing annoys me, a bug i think?
The tarot system is supposed to be random right?
But i always get summoning, i even restarted the page but still the same. summoning.
I think a better bug check would be better for the score.
This looked like something funny in the beginning but it just got boring towards the end, it lacked any "feelin" and your voice was monotonic and gave it a poor feeling, sorry but it just got Repetitive and was too long for a "commercial"
Im actually very fond of zombie games, this one was one of the most entertaining.
The fact that you run around in pyjamas made me smile. :)
Although the limited firing angle could make the game tricky, but the fact that you get new weapons while you advance in levels makes you want to continue.
I cant see any big problem with this game, the camera angle perhaps, but i guess its a way to make this more challenging?
The stun gun made me laughin, and when he said "maybe you think twice you decide to be a giant prick" Made me laugh even harder xD best thing i seen in a lifetime
Great job, wonderfull graphics, very good remake.
But the bosses was TOO hard, kinda hard to figure out how to fight them, specially Zelda II, because i never played that game xD
This one was pretty good, great animation and graphics, but you may want to show more of the.. Vagina..
You see.. Its damn good made, but it would be even better if you showed more of the vagina, you like have to right-click and press zoom to get a good shot you know..
I think its pretty good, runs fine on my comp but you may want to slow down the animation, you dont really have time to see anything if you understand, everythings moves to fast, but i think its great and im a fan of this furry, keep up!
It was a good try and a idea, but nothing new..
The 1337 mode wasent so... leet..
The music dident fit in, and nothign speciall about the background or graphics.
Might need some thinkink

I'm absolutely positive it's random... If you keep getting the same card, it's just your luck. Keep trying!

Well.. a good try.. maybe..
It was a good try and a idea, but nothing new..
The 1337 mode wasent so... leet..
The music dident fit in, and nothign speciall about the background or graphics.
Might need some thinkink
Anyway it was a good try dont give up
1337 wasn't so leet, what you finally got to the first level and quit? Not my fault. Maybe I should put a warning next time 1337 = leets only.
