Good game
so accurate when it comes to closing popups from here though... But without them, there would be no NG, right? I don't use AIM, so thats the closest thing to that experience I could relate to.
Reviews for "IM ATTACK!!"
ow, my arm is throbbing.
well, it was a very good game, whilst it got pretty unrealistic near the end, i probably wouldnt have like it the way i did, my score before it shut down was 272084, and my arm is internally bleeding... so ill have to dial 911 now... nice job, very realistic, ill probably be closing every im box that poens it the next 5 days... im just glad it wasnt full-screen... cause im a 1024x768. i might have never recovered.
Crazy.
The truth is funny.
Point-and-Click
An odd, but pointless variation on the old "Kill the Pop-Ups" game. Even the "secrets" aren't worth the time it takes to get them.(Particularly if you're not a "loyal follower of all things Cycon" like I'm not. Jazz WHO?(See Cheat Sheet.) Feh.) Though the "Session with Cycon" thing got a few laughs.
The graphics were in perfect Windows XP style from the login screen to the actual "Desktop," right down to AIM itself. Everything was done perfectly. A LOT of attention to details were paid here, as you can guess. Not all buttons work, which is a disappointment, but I'll get into that later.
Obviously, the Style score didn't hurt this Flash much, dispite the fact it's such an abysmol score. The point of the game is to close the AIM windows by clicking the X buttons. Just the same as with the "Kill the Pop-Ups" game, you can also move the windows around. Again, even with the Secrets and other things, it's not very original. . .
The sound was clear, crisp, and pretty much flawless. Can't think of a negative thing to say about it except for the fact that the quotes when closing windows don't take very long to start looping.
No violence to speak of.(Does not effect Overall score.)
Interactivity. . . Now, this is where I was going to start babbling about things.
Firstly, not all the icons are clickable. Most, but not all. And half the ones you CAN click generally turn up a Windows-style Error Message(in-game event, not a genuine error). I was hoping you could just close AIM, or minimize it, or something.(I would think closing AIM would result in say. . .a Game Over, admittedly. But still.)
The other thing that gets me is that you can't right-click and close windows that way, which is a shame. And don't tell me it's impossible to do in Flash. Take a look at that Interactive Buddy's custom right-click menu. But I guess ya can't have everything in a quick game like this.
The humour was average. Nothing special. A few chuckles here and there, perhaps. But again, what's to be expected from a quick game like this?
So. . . Several Megabytes to download and only a few moments of play involved, secrets or not. Is it worth the time it would take for those poor Dial-Up users to download? Probably not. Is it worth MOST peoples' time? Eh. . .depends on the person. I didn't really like it, myself, but someone else might. In fact, a LOT of "someone elses" apparently dig this game. Fancy that.
This review brought to you by the letter "X". You certainly can't have X-Mas without "X"! Unless you're Christian.
FANOMINAL!!!
I gave violence a two cuz I think it is pretty violent destroying the lives of those IMs.
This is absolutley fanominal. I got so into it that when it "crashed" I got upset and never wanted it to end, though my hand was starting to hurt playing it for so long" congrates on an awesome idea done well.
