Reviews for LARRY: Doug-Out

[GraphicDude]

Beer Beer Beer!

Awesome work man! This is a really great idea and animation as well!
I had fun playing this one!

But there are also things that suck:

If you are in a refill animation and Doug appears, you can't leave till the animation is over!

I bought the Maximum weapon but had not enough money left to refill one of the Barrels in stock! And therefore I could not go on in the game! It appears just the Hot tip that says I should keep one barrel in stock refilled...

But good game anyway!

cheers!

Good idea but,

Entirely too broken. Doug's movement gets way too fast, especially when you factor in McSweeny's snail-speed movement. Seriously, when you can click him while his head is hardly a fraction out of the barrel, and he can still duck in time, there's a problem. He could use a reduction in health too, or the weapons need to be more effective, because 20-30 hits is way too many.

Frustration keeps building

I don't feel like writing complete stories now (since it is 1:45 AM) but I am going to sum up a list of positives and negatives. Expect to see a lot of negatives on the gameplay.

+ The graphics are funny, well drawn and well animated. I have got no complaints there. It's an attractive stile which fits the game perfectly. Although I thought it was weird you could beat someone almost to death (with the graphics) in your own beer kegs.
+ Sounds are funny and well spoken. Quality sound without any background noise, I like that. Doug has a real 'person' in it's sound.
+ I like the idea of the game and I like how you could combine molewhacking with a bit of sidegaming (or the other way around).

Now on to the negative points.

- The further you get into the game, the more frustrating it gets. And here is why:
- Overshot beer fills for buckets empty your COMPLETE keg at ONCE. This is just plain annoying and not realistic.
- Undershot fills still cost ya a lot of beer but you don't get anything for it? Even if he sais something positive (that you hear when you make a perfect pour) I sometimes still get zero dollars.
- Taking more than one keg in your backroom is just hell as soon as Doug gets in there. If you don't have the sledgehammer at the ready you will positively lose at least one of your kegs.
- What the hell is up with missing doug ONE time and seeing a COMPLETELY FULL keg disappear before your eyes!?
- Please include a button to put the keg down if you have picked it up by accident. I wasted at least 3 kegs this way because my front keg was filled up already And I could not put the refill keg down.
- The pointer which defines how many beer I pour was a blur and at that moment nobody is able to make precision pours anymore.

I made it to the 2.000.000+ points but already half way there started to get the gameplay problems stated in the above points. I hope you read this and that it is of any use to you.

Sound: 10
Graphics: 9
Originality: 9
Gameplay: start at 8, get's down to about 4 in the end.

Cheers and keep your cooperation going. Looking forward to see some new material.

Fun

Beer.

Just beer.

And that is why it is awesome. Small note, Doug is very hard to dissuade.
