Barack O'Break

Author Comments

You are Barack Obama and you are in Guantanamo jail to save the prisonners. You must throw keys to release the prisonners ( who have got handcuffs :) ).
You win points as soon as you hit a prisonner with a key.
But beware, you mustn't touch them and mustn't touch the balls, because you will lose your energy.
So, you need to do the best score to be the first on the leaderboard.

Gets boring quick

There's not enough music or sound effects, the hit detection is kinda bad, and I really think that Barack Obama wouldn't wander into a jail to go free every prisoner possible with only a knife. It's good if you want to waste some time, but other than that it's below average. Try harder next time.

Well...

It's not very good. I know this was probably meant to be some sort of political statement, but honestly, it's on newgrounds, it's marked as a game, so it should be fun. Which it really isn't...

The hit boxes should've been more isometric--that is, the keys shouldn't free the prisoners just because the two sprites collided. If I was significantly closer to the screen (which would look lower) then keys shouldn't free the prisoners for hitting their feet when in actuality the key would have gone past the prisoner because of the difference in their z coordinate/depth.

And, of course, there's the problem that it's repetitive and uninteresting. But again, I can see you were trying to be political, so you probably didn't pay much attention to the function of the game itself. But could have done both; for example you could have added other characters like Al Gore, George Bush, Dick Cheney with a rifle, etc.

Needs more stuff

Graphics are good, but there should have been more animation; like Obama actually running and throwing the key, with the prisoners catching it.
There should have been music though to make the game more fun.
The gameplay is really unoriginal, something I've seen before. Add more variety to it, and more obstacles. Make the enemies more unique, instead of boring balls, add some one of a kind enemies like Bush or Cheney. (pitching ideas here)
I felt that Obama moved too slow as well, and the aim in this game is off, sometimes, the prisoners didn't get the key even when I threw it at the same angel to other prisoners and they got it. That's pretty annoying.

Boring

Repetitive, needed more sound/music, and I felt that the hit lanes were off, things were hitting me when they shouldn't of. Neat concept though, evolve it.
