Bullynoid

Игра за 30р. что можно от нее ожидать? Очередной трэш на коленке собранный из готовых ассетов? Это не тот случай. Пусть игра не большая, но как таймкиллер заходит на "ура" да еще и идея упаковать классический арканоид в подобную обертку кажется достаточно свежей. Конечно есть недостатки, но очень надеюсь что разработчики потихоньку отполируют игру и доведут ее до ума. Задел для КАЧЕСТВЕННОГО трэша в хорошем смысле этих слов просто отменный. Кто хочет пощекотать свои нервишки неимоверно растущей сложностью - добро пожаловать игра не прощает ошибок.

Bullynoid is a pretty basic GameMaker Studio based Arkanoid/Breakout ripoff but with a modestly well done (as far as pixel "art" goes) theme about bullies bullying people on a zebra crossing. The bricks are the victims and as the bully you are both the ball and the bat. Fair enough I guess. It's a clever theme slapped on an otherwise obsolete and outdated video game concept. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. A choice was made to use obsolete, decades old retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result. There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customise the graphics settings. There's no way for gamers to ensure this is running at the native resolution of their displays... there's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. There's no way for gamers to try improve the low quality graphics. The controls can't be customised, which will be an annoyance for many, but it can also render the game unplayable for differently-abled gamers. The very poor quality of this game puts it squarely on-par with ancient 1990's Flash/Java games, and given it's 2023 (and this was released not so far back in 2019), gamers and the industry expect and deserve better than this kind of low effort shovelware. Some of the defects in the game can be attributed to the choice of using the GameMaker Studio construction kit/toolset. This is a very poor quality toolset favoured by amateur developers as it's cheap and requires little in the way of development skill, but unfortunately has very limited capabilities. Just as you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear, you can't make a great video game if you use a terrible engine. GameMaker Studio is often used to make retro pixel shovelware and cash grabs, although I think this is more of a sincere, if poorly made attempt at making a brickbreaker clone game with a funny theme. The poor quality of this game is reflected in the general public reception. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 2 players. That's right, only 2. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 50,000 games for gamers to choose from, the overwhelming lack of interest in the game is to be expected. Gamers just didn't take this low quality game seriously, and for good reason. Bullynoid is relatively cheap at $1 USD, but it's not worth it. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, this is impossible to recommend.
