I liked the idea of the game a lot, however, it is really repetitive. I only enjoyed up to about day 50. There is a lot more different scenarios that should have been included. I only dragged out to day 500 because I had the get the badges. So overall is was a great idea with weak execution.
Reviews for "The Rose is Blooming"
Now, I may not know much about game design, but three things stood out in my mind about this game.
1: The allusion was cool. When I died, I loved the World War Z reference "Whatever bro, tell it to the whales."
2: It seemed a tad unbalanced, maybe some behind-the-scenes number generator determines what happens, but I stepped on 4 planks in a row then got shot by two bandits. THEN, the super zombie. Lulz were not had.
3: other than that, it felt like a solid game. Good job, Hyptosis.
Running is too easy and doesn't much consequence besides skipping out on a beating and possibly a food ration or two. Maybe the point of survival is not to fight, but to avoid confrontation. If you were going for that, then it might better suit the game to include some more content to facilitate that message. But other than that I feel that it is a decent game that makes you think about each decision.
You can get through the whole game without killing a single zombie - but you won't resist smashing a few, so yeah, I see what you did there. Although I still think fleeing shouldn't be as easy.
Well, I think this whole game was created so a potential biologist could go crazy, go to a bank, get all his money, build a secret lab and invent the zombie virus himself. I got a F*CKING ONE HUNDRED bullets, so I could buy an armor, only to go to mere 45 because of these damned super zombies. Guess what - as soon as was too poor for the good stuff, I met the armor merchant. Fighting the urge to destroy my keyboard, I've grinded through another two hundred days or so - only to find out that the sexy mustache armor is the last one out there and NOTHING CHANGES. So this is me, opening a secret lab. Just you wait, motherf*cker.
entertaining game, insanely difficult at first, but pretty easy at
the end. it needs a final boss (super zombie?) and more melee weapons, a greater diversity of enemies (maybe when you fight bandits you could actually fight them?) but all in all, this is a great time waster.
