Reviews for "Scuba Hunter"
not that bad
but the gameplay is just boring and it's annoying when you clearly hit a scuba diver and you miss.
so i won't be playing this game for a second time.
Bad.
First of all, this game is bad. It's to hard to hit the faster divers. Many times I have seen my stinger go into their head but they keep swimming on. It's annoying. You should make the animation from when you release the mouse to when the stinger is in the killing position much more instant to help fix this. You can also maybe make different divers, perhaps slower ones that take more hits but get you more points, and ones that try an shoot spears at you. Anything to make it less monotonous.
Second of all, as someone said before, you are just whoring yourself off of someone's death. On a scale of how I was affected by Steve Irwin's death, I am honestly indifferent, but still think this concept is just stupid. You are trying to shock people and get strong reactions out of them so that more people will view your game and you can get some recognition (which worked, since you got frontpage).
I have an idea. How about in the future you actually try make a game that is good enough to get front page on it's own, instead of a crappy game that gets front page purely based on the fact that it makes satire out of someone's death? I can judge from the quality of this game that that may be difficult for you, but it would probably be easier for you in the long-run, seeing as how only so many famous people die in such odd ways every often.
Putting the fucked up idea of yours aside...
The graphics were pretty nice. Simple, but smooth.
The sound was plain, boring at that. Music could liven it up.
The collision detection was HORRIBLE. I had to sting the guy like 6 times before I even hit! Even after i found the "right spot" [being only ONE pin-sized spot] I still couldnt kill em.
Humor? Sorry, a bit too soon for that.
Make it so you can actually hit the sons of bitches when your fully charged tale smacks em in the face [or any other part], and you'll get a better score.
I don't agree with the content.
As I don't agree with the content my review might be somewhat biased. I am not going to sit here and blabber about with whats wrong with the game because well, I think everyone sees that.
As far as the game goes, the graphics are fairly decent, but as for style, I don't really see much of it. We've seen tonnes of games with the premis of underwater scroller done much much better before. As for the sound, the continual loop got a little bit annoying after a few times through the game. Violence; I am also equally sure that we have all seen much more violent games in this genre before, and although I don't look for violence to enjoy my games, I have to admit that the same two-frame death animation gets repetative VERY quickly. Moving on to interactivity, move the mouse, click, and release it. That's as interactive as it gets in this one. Humor; I found nothing particularly funny about this experience. Overall I have to say that this game is very lacking in the fundamentals of what I look for in a game. It was obviously rushed and put together very quickly and it shows in the quality of the gameplay and content. This seems like a half-witted effort on the part of somebody trying to cash in on the emotions of the public regarding the death of a public figure.
