something should happen, but nothing happened, soooooooo...what?
Reviews for "Proxy"
Catchy title, bland game
I really wanted to give this game a far chance, since my computer is older and my browser tends to be a bugger, but this is just not a fun game.
The sprites were enjoyable and the premise of a supernatural killer is intriguing, but that was about all I can praise it for.
The main thing that turned me away was, not the freezing glitch, although that played a major part of it, but the fast forward button. Under normal speed, the dialogue is so slow I can make and eat a sandwich while waiting for the next person to be killed, making me so bored that I press the ff button. On high speed though, it's like trying to take a lecture with that professor in college that had one too many coffees at the office and had to pick up flowers for his forgotten anniversary right after. There's no good medium for me. A simple fix would have been to incorporate click-to-progress dialogue. I'm not a speed reader but I'm not a turtle either.
Another thing for me was not having a mute feature. It may be nitpicking, but when it comes to games I need to watch for details on, I like to have the option to mute the music. And no, just muting my speakers is no excuse.
Overall, Proxy is a premise I would love to see again, but definitely in a much more polished form. The graphics are quaint, the idea of Proxy is amazing, but with a dialogue system that is either too slow or too fast, music that blares in my headphones that I cannot mute on the game itself, and the freezing my computer, this is not a game I recommend.
The freeze is still happening.
The murderer is pretty obvious.
I found the writing lazy.
1 for artwork.
The description said that you fixed the freezed ending. It is not.
Hardly a game! The sprites could have at least moved around a little. Maybe have the option to shoot someone before each time it goes dark? Maybe emulate the card game Werewolf or something?
