Reviews for 60 Second Life

Beautiful message.

Unfortunately, I can only describe why this is by pointing out the problems with the game.

For one, the failure-to-get-a-powerup-thingy messages were fairly depressing. Whenever I attempted to succeed at a single aspect of life, the game always made me feel like a jerk (whether it was the aforementioned failure message or the result message). Even when I tried to perfectly balance all the aspects, I managed to feel horrible. For me, the most jarring failure message was "Your family misses you."

Regarding a different aspect of the game (specifically the controls): They sucked. No matter how long I held down the left/right key, I just couldn't get the character to move. I had to continually abort and restart the game until I got lucky.

Gameplay-wise, the game was okay. My only complaint is that trying to balance all the aspects of life always results in a sub-par score and a disappointing result message.

However...

Your game made me realize the IMPORTANCE of balancing success, love, family and hobbies, as well as the unfortunate fact that life is short. For this, I give this game a 10 out of 10, a 5 out of 5, and a place on my Favorites.

awesome

I like the varied results thing, its pretty funny, and the secret is easy peasy ;D!!

nice

A good game concept. Wonky and unresponsive controls at times.

I was amused when the secret medal turned out to be what I imagined it could be.

Fun Concept, But Lacking

I really like this idea, I really do and I love games that incorporate the use of story building like this. I want to commend you for the effort and creativity, at least.

It's just that as a game, it lacks. Around my third play through of the game I realized that I could essentially just leave the guy in one spot and get the same effect. Unless I actually wanted to go for something specific and earn a specific achievement that is. The moving back and forth was kind of annoying too.

I think the idea was cool, it just needs some polish. Maybe a more fun way to get the different icons. I'd love to see this idea implemented as like a puzzle game or something like that. But moving my guy back and forth to collect randomly falling items is just boring.

HeRetiK responds:

you could also live your life, just standing around, waiting for good things to happen. but if you do something, move around a bit, make decision, take your chances, you'll get way more out of your life.
