I was able to walk left. I restarted twice, allowing me to walk left with 3 different disabilities. All of them seemed to have the disability of "walk left until you hit that ledge and then never ever move again" though.
Reviews for "You Are Disabled"
Kcori responds:
That's strange and frustrating. I don't know why that happened, and I think it might be out of my control, unfortunately.
If this piece of shit was any more pretentious thousands would die of tumblr poisoning. You'd probably be arrested for manslaughter. There is no worthwhile gameplay here beyond the rudimentary framework to couch your "message" in and we could read the same message on any histrionic self-righteous "social justice" blog. We just don't, because that shit is stupid.

PRetentious and worthless. A game still has to be a game, buddy, no matter how much you want it to have a 'message'. At the point where I keep dying because the character chooses to kill himself repeatedly, it's not a game. Is the message supposed to be if you're disabled, you should kill yourself because your life is a waste of time? Or is the message that disabled people all WANT to kill themselves?
Your game would be mediocre except for its bad gimmick, which makes it insufferable. And even then, there's nothing that makes it worthwhile. Even the message is pointless. It's hard to be disabled? You feel ostracized from society and life is hard? What's your next game going to be, a game about the sky being blue? Water is Wet: The Game?

Whoa, did you just join Newgrounds to be a dick to me? I'm honored.
I love the point of this game getting through to me almost instantly without reading the description, it adds a great deal of 3.5 stars to the game. The reason I did not do 4.5 stars is the fact that the game is just broken. The controls are INCREDIBLY slippery, and my computer lags like crazy on this game, so you could add a quality button but other then that, great!
Kcori responds:
I've heard some issues regarding the controls, like them seemingly locking up. If that's what you're referring to, I think it's the (in beta) engine I'm using and noticed that another game using said engine also had complaints regarding the controls being buggy. The actual movement of the character itself should be pretty tight.
Thanks for playing and reviewing.
What I hate about this the most is it feels like a cry for pity.
There are plenty of disabled people who live full lives, yet this flash says
Well they're crippled and they go through all this stuff so you should feel bad and help them however you can
The illiterate should have been able to persevere
like if you had tried to read all the signs you would have slowly been able to make the signs out.
Through all the hardships you become stronger, that's what this should have been.
Very disappointing.
Kcori responds:
The message isn't that disabled people are bound to fail. You have to understand that you're in a scenario designed to make you fail. Humanity has cast you to this hellish place that's difficult even for able people and the wizards are working against you; even if, as illiterate, you choose the correct lever, you notice that both platforms fall. You've been taken advantage of, and it's not your fault.
You should respect those born less fortunate for their achievements, because they've very likely worked harder to achieve them. You should also understand that none of us choose how we're born, and to never discriminate. That's the message.
