Very different
I think I changes colors four times. It is a neat game, with a purpose I probably haven't understood yet.
Reviews for "Gray"
hmm
this is one of those weirdly addicting games that is in an honest saying would b crap but is not for some strange reason.
zomigosh
i'll be frank, yes i got the msg, i didn't see it as politics or whatever, but i thought of it as the black guy walking around recuiting more white people to become black.
then the 2 groups start to fight and all that.
yes it has a message, yes its abstract,
but in my honest opinion, this would be A LOT better off if it were just a video instead of a game.
this is what i was feeling when i played the game
dooodoodoo...ooh i wonder what i shd play 2daeeee
doodoodoo ooh! a pixelised old-school game!
man if its a platformer...instant 10stars no matter how shitty the controls!
and i got this...
you get what i mean? yes the message is interesting and it is rather abstract, but the reason people dont get it is cause they arent expecting this kinda stuff as a video game...
5/10 because it really should have been a video...
+1 because its pixelised and old-school..
nice !
I love this one ! it just goes to show that games can and should be art. see how many ways people have already interpreted this in the reviews below me ? this one got people thinking. and that (to me anyway) is the definition of art. great job ! gameplay itself was easy to understand. controls were solid. sound was annoying but held meaning so Ill let it slide. anyway here is how I interpret this one
I see this as a commentary on societies tendency to follow the extremes. when you are "pure" black or white in your opinions you are predictable and easy to follow. and sadly that's what most people like and look for in a leader. and as soon as you adopt a more realistic "gray" approach to life (where things usually aren't just black or white) it takes more mental energy to understand you, harder to anticipate your behavior. and again sadly most society doesn't seem to be able to follow a "gray" attitude leader. that's why as you progress through the game realizing your "black" and "white" approaches were wrong and shifting slowly towards the gray it becomes harder to sway people to your side. and as you turn completely gray you can no longer sway anyone.
that's how I saw this game.. as it is as I said, art, there will most likely be many other interpretations. and all of them would be right. (see the gray attitude there ? :) )
What The Hell?
This game makes absolutely no sense. Also, it's boring, tedious and stupid.
