Reviews for "Simpleton"
uh.....
It's a good game, but it was good the first time, looks like you barely changed a thing from the other game. Not impressed, do something new.
And for something constructive, besides not doing the same game twice, I don't think you can chainsaw them when the are right on top of you, and that gets very annoying.
I'm Technically Distraught
I like the core concept of the game, but there were a few things that really irked me about the game.
First, the preloader issue. The preloader will not load immediately which is due to linkages and music being loaded dynamically. This can be fixed by setting the linkages to not Export on the First Frame, and to hide them in a movieclip on frame 2.
Second, the element of confusion. I had a bit of trouble finding out why exactly I started glowing blue in a 'rage' or why certain events in the game happened. It makes it hard to try to achieve the same sort of event (or avoid it for that matter), and made the game seem almost random at times.
The foley in the game seemed somewhat off. The nail gun sounded like a pipe bang, and given that sound effects set the secondary mise-en-scene, it made it hard to get in the zombie killing mood.
Finally, I was slightly distracted by the idea that the primary weapon is the chainsaw. Given that the chainsaw is usually an end-all weapon, I had genre-confusion when trying to rip people open with the chainsaw. It seems a lot less momentous to fight a zombie knowing I have been running over it with the chainsaw for about 5-10 seconds.
But there were some strong points. I liked the idea of the zombies running out of the right side all crazy... the element of surprise there was good. I also liked the artwork, which was a bit better than average and obviously well planned. The game has it's strong moments, but the few technical bugs made it troublesome. At one point I started running like crazy, without any sort of control over my protag. Cycling through weapons was like trying to play the game with my eyes closed too.
I still had fun though... you have a knack for programming and art... just need to iron out a few of the edges :).

Just a little more polish
I really loved this game and would definitely play a sequel. The only problem I had with it was that the firearms were really, really weak. I'd have much preferred to have fewer rounds and dropping the zombies in a few shots (or one to the head, even) than have to pour boxes of bullets into them. Just a suggestion. :)
not bad
I've played better, but I'm a sucker for zombie shooters. It's difficult to switch weapons during combat. It needs a button to cycle through.
