Crash Test Oliver

‎

absolute hidden gem, more people should play this.

O jogo é extremamente difícil e com grandes desafios que irão te fazer repensar sobre o que está jogando, porém, se continuar jogando com bastante dedicação e um pouco de paciência, você terá umas das jornadas mais interativas e divertidas dos últimos jogos Indies. Recomendo, me tirou algumas horas de distração e raiva.

Игра 'Crash Test Oliver' – это захватывающий и абсурдно забавный платформер, в котором вы играете за Оливера, человечка для краш-тестов, готового к самым безумным испытаниям. Главная цель – выжить в череде опасных и непредсказуемых ловушек, которые так и норовят поджарить, раздавить или взорвать Оливера на мелкие кусочки. Визуальный стиль намеренно простой и мультяшный, что добавляет шарма общей абсурдности происходящего. Саундтрек бодрый и динамичный, идеально подходит для бешеного темпа игры. Сложность постепенно возрастает, требуя от игрока быстрой реакции и умения предугадывать поведение ловушек. Уровни разнообразны и полны сюрпризов, а новые механики постоянно подкидывают новые вызовы. Особенно радует юмор, которым пропитана каждая секунда игры. Смерти Оливера хоть и частые, но выглядят настолько комично, что скорее забавляют, чем раздражают. В целом, 'Crash Test Oliver' – отличная игра для тех, кто ищет что-то лёгкое, весёлое и не требующее глубокого погружения в сюжет. Она идеально подходит для коротких игровых сессий и гарантированно поднимет настроение. Рекомендую!

After reading so much about this game on Reddit, I thought I'd give it a try and was impressed. It kind of reminds me of some games I loved, like Prince of Persia & Tomb Raider, but much more difficult. Sometimes the difficulty is insane, that's what I liked best. The controls are perfect, the difficulty is that you have to overcome many obstacles in a very short time. And I love the pink killer dogs!

That's reminding me Whipe Out from the TV show. Very good game but not without minuses. I woul'd delete necessarily collecting gears and green items. I dont like collecting in the games, and in this game collecting is necessary to go to the final boss, which is very good. I was very close to drop the game because in the level where you need to throw bomb in the dogs, one of them stuck in the textures. If dont consider these things, Game is very good emotional traveling. Those who say Dark soulses is very hard, they dont know what is realy hard game. I wish creators of this game GOOOOOOD LUCK!

"Crash Test Oliver" is a rather mediocre low poly 3D rendered 2D speedrunner/precision/rage platformer... ambitious in design and deficient in delivery. What do you do in the game? You do a lot of platforming, parkour style... and yeah that's about it. Having very little to offer gamers (platformers are already a mostly-dead genre), the price tag on top of such godawful visuals really killed this. In terms of visuals, this features fairly low quality low poly 3D visuals which will deter a lot of gamers, understandably. Gaming is a visual medium, and while some developers struggle with creating high quality visuals, failing to do so is a disservice to gamers. It's very difficult to recommend bad looking games. It's free... now, but it wasn't before. The developer was charging $10 USD for this!! Absolutely delusional. Price barriers, especially on low quality products, can be a direct cause of failure. It's a nice gesture for the game to be given away for free, but it also tells us that the game wasn't good enough to succeed as a paid product. Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 6 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Nope. This isn't worth downloading. While this didn't cost me any money up front, I still feel ripped off. [quote][url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/reviews]Developer Response![/url][/quote]The developer has weighed in to inform everyone they didn't read the [url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/reviews]Developer Usage Rules[/url] for Steam "partners", or they deliberately ignored the part where Valve says: [quote]Though it may be tempting, not every review needs to be responded to. A developer response will frequently draw more attention than the original statement, potentially turning a small issue into a much larger community discussion. It's also not a good idea to use this feature to refute customer opinions. Your direct attention can be seen as validation or a defensive attempt to silence your customers.[/quote] The first thing the developer wants everyone to know is that they are "The Main Character". You, as a gamer, don't matter. They breach Valve guidelines for developers just to complain about a fully accurate and informative review (with facts their ego doesn't like). It's evident from their attitude that they never created this product with gamers in mind. They did so to stroke their own ego. When developers, especially failed ones who would never be able to get a professional job in the industry, put themselves before gamers, we end up with garbage products like this. That explains how this trash ended up on Steam, but it doesn't excuse it. At least we finally got to meet The Main Character, and nobody else matters. The developer admits the game is of substandard quality, then immediately lies about the popularity of the game... what doesn't lie (unlike this delusional developer) is the SteamDB data that shows nobody played this game; 6 concurrent players, only happened once. When they made the game "free"... and even then, people didn't stick around. There's 140,000,000 gamers on Steam, and the best this guy could do is 6, who deleted the game immediately. Textbook failure. But, since the developer chose to invoke the Streisand effect, we can see they deliberately arranged fake/paid reviews for their next game (take a look at all the BS fake reviews on it). And that, ladies and gentlemen, is illegal. This crime was conducted in direct violation of 16 CFR § 465.4, 15 U.S.C. § 45, but, unfortunately, this violation doesn't carry any jail time, just fines starting at around $250,000 USD per infringement. The fake reviews the developer paid for are from the Russian review farm [url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/Sentinels_of_the_Store/announcements/detail/4222762959836264571]uncovered by Sentinels of the Store[/url]. So now, we know all about this developer, their crimes, and their deliberate abuse of Steam Direct for profit while they break the law to defraud gamers out of money. I suspect they should be waiting for that knock on the door any moment now.
