GAUGE

Y... Al principio es una garcha, pero después de un par de partidas te quedás embobado un buen rato.

Entertaining game about trying to nearly fill a gauge. My favorite part by far is that this game has an impossible achievement, which prevents you from filling the achievement bar, lust like the bar in the game. I really respect the artistic vision, and am incredibly entertained by the fact that completionist crybabies got really mad at the developer for creating a piece of art that doesn't cater to the very specific way they think games and achievements should work. "I don't try to be a rebel, I just play with your expectations, that's the purpose of making games, pushing and using the rules to bring players to some new places they wouldn't expect." - Étienne Périn

눈 아파요 도전과제 어차피 되는대로 해서 안 모으는 편이긴 한데요 진짜 도전을 해야 얻을 수 있는 과제라서 도전을 사랑하시는 분은 좋아하실 것 같습니다. 화면이 완전 많이 깜빡이기 때문에 광과민성이 있으신 분들은 하지마세요 눈 겁나 아퍼잉

Scoring 1 bouton. Principe ultra simple. Il faut appuyer sur la barre d'espace pour faire monter une jauge, mais pas trop. L'idée est de la maintenir dans la zone spécifiée par les pointillés. Si on est en dessous, pas de point, si on va trop au delà, gameover. Il faut donc jauger de manière idéale, ni trop ni trop peu, en tapotant notre bouton, afin de marquer le plus gros score possible. Le tout avec une musique électro bien pêchue. Si ça rappelle très fortement le concept de SuperHexagon, c'est pas pour rien puisque c'est vraiment le même genre de jeu, qui met l'action sur la simplicité de gameplay pour dévoiler en fait un jeu de scoring ultra rigoureux die&retry. Personnellement c'est pas du tout mon truc, j'ai donc tenu 10mn avant de me dire que j'avais tout découvert et j'ai désinstallé. Mais je suis sûr que ça pourra plaire à tous les drogués du score.

GAUGE is a “minimalistic” game where you basically control one bar with one button. Pressing the button fills the bar, and the closer it is to the top, the higher your score. You lose a life if the bar touches either end. Your lives also act as a score multiplier, so the more lives you have, the higher your score. Of course, it’s a bit more complicated than that. There’s a lot of dizzy effects (avoid this game if you suffer from epilepsy) to disorient you, the bar doesn’t always move at the same pace, and the limits your bar can’t touch move all over the place. To make things harder, you can activate a second bar that you must also control at the same time. While it’s optional, activating it further doubles your score, so it’s a risk/reward mechanic. There’re 4 additional modes to the main one, leaderboards, and achievements. However, one achievement was purposely designed to be unobtainable. There’s no legit way to unlock it, which is insulting in my opinion. Fortunately, you can cheat it if you don’t mind, but avoid this game if you’re a legit achievement hunter, there’s no way to unlock it outside of cheating. The game is cheap and entertaining for some hours, and includes a lot of memes and secrets. But it’s definitely not for everyone.
