77 minutes de jeu pour le moment, hé bin ça passe super vite ! Je me suis bien amusée à chercher les fins alternatives et à éviter les zombies, c'était très chouette. Je dirais même que ça donne envie de créer des jeux ! Bravo à Maxime pour sa créativité, je pense que c'est le premier pas dans une chouette carrière bien funky. Ubisoft, si vous me lisez, embauchez-le ! :-D
I found the concept behind Breaking Lockdown funny and frustrating at the same time, but each time you lose, you want to start the game again, again, and again, trying to collect all deaths possible! For a solo indie developer, it's an OK product that worth the price!
As you can probably guess from the N64 graphics, this game is not worth your time. You walk around and there's some things, and when you touch most of the things you die. Touched electricity? Die. Touched a zombie standing still on the sidewalk for some reason? Die. Turn a corner? Die. After each death, you restart the game. I couldn't bring myself to play long enough to see the ending.
Back in June, Max & Lappi reached out to me through Twitter with a Steam key, asking that I write an honest review of their first title, [i]Breaking Lockdown[/i]. So please note that I received this game for free, and that I first played an older version of the game. [i]Breaking Lockdown[/i] is a short, trial and error puzzle game inspired by the COVID-19 Pandemic. Our protagonist is woken from their sleep by a desperate phone call from the girl next door, Jenny. In spite of the curfew, she begs you to risk your life to rescue her from a grisly fate. The core gameplay of [i]Breaking Lockdown[/i] can be broken down into finding a safe path to Jenny's house by dying to the various hazards on your way there. The actual idea here is interesting to me, and I'd be interested to play something a little more fleshed out and complicated; however, in practice, [i]Breaking Lockdown[/i] is far too simple to really recommend. There are some interesting and obscene visuals once you make it to the apartment, but I can't say in good conscience that the journey itself is really worth your time.
Muito mal feito e sem graça. tomamos pancada morremo, vampiro comendo alguém na esquina e morremo. tocamos em fogo morremo, andamos e do nada zumbis e ai tanque de guerra atira em nós e tudo isso nos piores estilos possíveis. catastrofe no final é andar nessa cidade. Devo ter jogado da forma errada, ou o game é muito ruim mesmo
Did I ever tell you what the definition of insanity is? Insanity is doing the exact... same ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing... over and over again expecting... ♥♥♥♥ to change... That. Is. Crazy. The first time somebody told me that, I dunno, I thought they were bullshitting me, so, I shot him. The thing is... He was right. And then I started seeing, everywhere I looked, everywhere I looked all these ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ pricks, everywhere I looked, doing the exact same ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing... over and over and over and over again thinking 'this time is gonna be different' no, no, no please... This time is gonna be different...
Breaking Lockdown LMAO I do not know why i liked this so much.. Honestly just good old dumb fun. Pick it up on sale only.
Petit jeu très sympa et adictif !
Honnêtement une bonne ambiance apocalyptique comme on aime ! Un bon "Die and retry" qui vaut largement son prix ! Les idées sont présentes et l'horreur aussi ! Avis aux amateurs de Docteur Who, un petit clin d'oeil de la part du développeur (qui donne vraiment le charme au jeu) s'est glissé dans game play, à vous de le découvrir ! ;)
I should have stayed home :-)
