It seems like it's supposed to be a great game... and then you can't see anything because your sprite blends in with the background and everything is so dark... which results in it being a bad game.
Reviews for "40XX:Fight the future. (WIP)"
i died five times on red blocks! Not interested in giving another try. No controls in description/in-game. Shame because graphics looked interesting.
Such a promising project ruined by bad platforming. Nice sounds, nice graphics, very atmospheric all around.
I cannot see ANYTHING on the screen. It is one thing if you want to get across that noir feeling and it is another when the player is hindered in playing your game due to lack of visibility.
The controls work for me differently: I jump with X and not Y and I turn on the flashlight with Y.
I got to a point where there is a terminal with an "X" above it...I could not active it no matter what button I pushed (I don't know if you should be able to activate it or not).
Then came the section with the red blocks and I just gave up. The lack of visibility and the funky jumping made it impossible for me to advance.
You have such well drawn backgrounds, a world so bleak and so well made...I have no idea why you would FORCE bad platforming here.
Hope to see some changes here and I will come back to give it a higher rating.

Yep,I've been a designer always,so I decided to adventure into programming from scratch a game(and man is hard!),this is just a test of the controls,I still need a lot to learn and polish,thanks for the feedback!
Good artwork and atmosphere. Unfinished even for a demo. Needs more work.

I think I might change the title from demo to WIP.
