Ugly music, wait a minute, the background isnt the game?
Reviews for "De-Energize"
Nice graphics and music gives this game a really good mood.
too bad the player spends all his time focusing on a tiny pixelated square instead of the interesting background.
sure 48 hour contests sound like fun in theory, but in reality you end up with unpolished, uninteresting crap.
1 star for trying, and .5 stars for the nice graphics... which are completely pointless.
i feel if you hadn't tried this lame contest, you could have ended up with something rather enjoyable and relaxing here. oh well
Allright, to make it simpler i'll just make a list of what's wrong with this game.
1. The gameplay is nothing new. It's basically "conquer a zone by drawing a square. You draw that square by moving your character. Don't hit the enemies." It's been done over and over again already.
2. Absolutely no tutorial. I got to level 5 without even knowing what i was doing, but then i noticed the green square which brings me with issue number 3...
3. The actual game is the small green square. Everything else is just a useless background for a pointless backstory. The screen that deserves all of the player's attention is just a 2cm x 2cm square. Great.
4. The controls are terrible and unresponsive.
When in a game i want the character to go Up, it better go freaking up. Not keep going horizontally and after passing four blocks of buildings go in the opposite direction.
Honestly, it's not one of those games where you can say "atleast it's a good time-waster".
But no, sorry. It's unoriginal, repetitive, unresponsive and overall boring.
Well, some kinda of: "undress some random crack addicted chick without giving her money or crack"
...without the naked chicks.
The background looked cool
