EyeRoll

EyeRoll is barely a game, it seems like some kind of tech demo or school project. It's a top down marble physics maze game, one of dozens of amateur train wrecks infesting Steam along the same line, but this one is shallower than most. You just roll around in a low poly maze. You can jump and because you're an eyeball you can dry out. What amazing fun. That's all there is to this junk. It's fine and well if people want to make demos and have fun learning about game development, even when they're not really game developers. But putting those projects and other garbage onto Steam... [i]for profit[/i] is just not okay. It's harmful. It pollutes the store. It makes it harder for gamers to find genuinely made, sincere games. It makes it harder for real developers who've done the right thing and made real, complete games to find an audience. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks. There's no way to ensure this is running at the native resolution of your display. There's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. In fact, there's no settings menu at all... the "developer" just couldn't be bothered. The game features lazy low-polygon "retro" assets, making this look like a barely functional 3D game from the mid 2000s. It's unclear why the developers weren't able to arrange high quality, high polygon count contemporary assets for the game, and also irrelevant... what matters is that this looks bad as a result of their decisions, a compromise PC gamers shouldn't have to put up with. 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, or gamers using AZERTY or other international keyboard layouts. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. The poor quality of this game is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the game all-time peak player count was only ONE player. That's right, only one person ever played this at a time. When I played this for the purposes of reviewing it, I equalled the peak player count for the game. OUCH. 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 (over 9,000 completely free titles), the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected. EyeRoll has the cash grab price of $3 USD (for a homework project!), 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. [b][quote][url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/marketing/profile]Profile Features Limited![/url][/quote][/b]Valve have marked this game as "Profile Features Limited" at the time of this review. This is usually caused by poor sales figures and low community acceptance for the game (to date). Until this status changes, this game will not give you +1 to your Game Collector badge count, appear in profile achievements or any other Steam meta-accomplishments, nor can it be displayed in some profile showcases. If these factors are important to you, it may be worth holding off before buying this game.

its very fun for a game even if you can finish it early you still can have lots of fun messing around.
