The ultimate parody. The minerals even dissapear when I get close to them.
Reviews for "Every Man's Refund"
Skudge responds:
Thanks hahaha
It not a bad game as far as being something Similar to like Terraria in the ways of crafting and survival. I hope you will continue to keep building with it and make it even better. A few things I'd suggest:
-Save Option
-Improve the Life Support Meter. I feel like it runs down too quickly, maybe have some upgrades that slow the depletion
-Healing Items. A way to restore HP instead of finding aliens to heal you. Maybe after you fix your ship you can return to it to refuel your HP, Life support, and weapon charges.
-A few more Starting Inventory Slots. I know you can find upgrades, but feel like what i got at the start is a bit too little to begin with.
-Item stacking. The elements stack but not other stuff like Iron plates and other loot items

I captured the experience of no mans sky pretty well then! :) I'll update it, but you'll have to buy it as dlc :^)
As a parody, it is well done. It embodies the weakness of the NMS execution as the "shallowness" of the playing experience most people had, and for that, it deserves 5 stars. I don't think anyone will disagree in this particular point, the game does his job very well, starting with the well-though name and going over the time of release.
Contrary to other people, I don't care that you didn't polish or add stuff, timing is important - What if Deus Ex guys waited till the WTC tragedy to release their game? If you waited more, no one would even remember NMS and would just think you made an horrible game (which is somewhat fair, since you intend to make a parody of ANOTHER horrible game, so it's intentional. An intentional failure is NOT a real one, since you accomplished what you always intended to do!).
Therefore I don't think there's a lack of polishment, and therefore it would not be fair to take out stars based on this. The pixelated graphics are just fine. Sound is fine too, no issues. The loading time is too long - Do you have it as part of the parody?
Now for the bad part. I hate NMS and all the hype, and that hate extends to everyhing related to NMS too. That includes parodies, parodies makers and those who review stuff about NMS/NMS related stuff. This means I hate your game, you, and myself (since just now I realized that I'm reviewing NMS related stuff). I will put this hate into practice by giving your game 0 stars without any reason. that's it. ZERO stars for your game.
Since it awarded 5 stars as an outstanding parody, but 0 stars as a game, I believe an average value (2,5 or even 3) is fair enough. I'll give you 3, you're above average.
Skudge responds:
Hey, thanks! Glad you like it. Sorry I made you hate yourself lol. Thanks for the awesome review. And yeah the long loading is intentional and totally fake.
This game is both boring and fun at the same time, I dunno how to feel.
Skudge responds:
That means it's a perfect clone :^) thanks
I haven't played No Man's sky yet,but reading about the controversy surounding it and seeing some gameplays on youtube,this game is genius,not only is a troll game,but it's fantastic the way you did it in 2D,showing that a triple A kind of title could be a simple pixelated game like this,which btw is fun and does not cost $60 because is FREE!I salute you for this beautiful creation of a game,sad that i will never even come close to making a game so good as this.You deserve an 5 star rating!
Skudge responds:
Thanks! And hey, now you don't have to play No Mans Sky! ;) seriously don't waste your money.
Keep working at your game dev, it takes a lot of practice but you can do anything :)
