Graveyard Smash

So this seemed like it could be an interesting enough premise. Whack-a-mole with zombies. Not exactly groundbreaking, but maybe some arcadey fun. This game though, isn't very good. The basic mechanics are hitting zombies or digging holes for zombies to fall into. This is made much more difficult since the controls are terrible, and your character slides around like he's in a Mario ice level. You don’t exactly slide so it’s not a perfect description but that’s the best way I can think to describe it. I tried playing with both controller and keyboard and while keyboard was slightly more bearable I would not say I had a good time. The whack-a-mole part is pretty precise in registering a hit, and you have to be fast, so anything being awkward about the controls is a very bad thing. One thing I found strange was the gravestones (which the enemies spawn from) being randomly generated, which meant that sometimes a level would be hard since the graves were far apart and the controls suck, but then on retrying it all the graves would be in one corner making the level stupidly easy. It seems like actually planning out the levels with the gravestone placement would make for a better experience, especially since the levels increase in difficulty as the game progresses and adds more enemy types and mechanics. Enemies’ spawning is literally the only thing you have to manage while playing so the randomness just seems like poor design. The game is still pretty easy until the introduction of ghosts around level 8 or so, random spawns aside. The ghosts are honestly terrible. When an enemy hits you, you become stunned for a few seconds. Ghosts can hit you, but the only way to kill them is with a random pickup - the crucifix. However, as soon as you kill one another spawns, so it's pretty pointless. The problem with the ghosts is that they often stand over the graves as zombies are spawning, meaning you can't get to the zombie and kill it. The ghost just wanders around randomly so sometimes a couple of zombies will just be blocked off with nothing you can do about it. And it’s not like you can just dig holes to get around this, since you can’t dig on tiles with gravestones and skeletons take 2 holes to kill, which you often don’t have time or room for (and keep in mind this entire time how bad the game feels to control). I don't mind challenge, but having like 2 mechanics in a game and then randomly making some enemies guaranteed to get past is really annoying (and the game isn't exactly fun to begin with). The sound design is also pretty dreadful. The music is generic atmospheric stuff, bland but inoffensive. But there's this weird and off-putting 70's porn music that plays when you pick up tequila (kind of like this game's version of the fruit in pacman, letting you jump on the zombies and kill them faster) and in the main menu mousing over any of the options plays a weird sound of what I think is someone saying "dig" but it sounds more like "dink" and is just weird. When you complete a level it tallies up the enemies you killed and plays an 8-bit chirp for each one making each level end with what is basically a burst of static. It's pretty easy but becomes very tedious since every time you fail a stage it shows a game over screen and kicks you back to the main menu where you have to select the stage again. Not a huge issue but adding a retry level option or something doesn't seem that hard. The game is also very short. It took me like 30 minutes to beat all 12 levels even with the annoying controls, and after that I just played it a while longer for the cards. The last level changes things up with a flamethrower and no powerups but it's not really any better. Really not worth the money it's being sold for, or any money at all in my opinion.

Fun idea, awful controls. Next time maybe

Playing feels like a chore, good idea bad execution

XUnity.AutoTranslator-ReiPatcherで日本語に自動翻訳が可能。ストーリーが一応あるので機械翻訳でもあった方がわかりやすい。 墓地から甦ってくるゾンビを毎晩始末している孤独な墓守、という設定は映画「デモンズ‘95」を連想するが作者があの映画を観ているかどうかは不明。地面から頭を出してきているゾンビをマウス左クリックで殴ったり、右クリックで穴を掘っておいてゾンビを落として始末する。穴はゾンビが一匹落ちると使えなくなる。赤評価が多いがそれなりに遊べはする。

i like chicken nuggets

Graveyard Smash is a 2D retro pixel whack-a-mole game where you must run around and quickly deal with zombies rising from the grave by hitting them with a retro pixel shovel. If too many get away, the game ends, so you have to be quick and also make decisions about which zombie to take care of first. This doesn't seem like an asset flip, although it's a little insincere/low effort, at the same time it's a complete product with a concrete game loop. The chief problem, apart from the very simplistic and shallow gameplay, is the very poor quality execution. There's no widescreen support, despite this being released in 2016, so I'm guessing they developed this with a 4:3 CRT monitor from the 1990's they found in a dumpster, or maybe in a graveyard, that would explain the theme a bit better. They chose to use obsolete 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. Resolution and controls are locked. These flaws push this game far below minimum acceptable standards for PC.

This [b]explains[/b] the abysmal quality of the game and the list of defects, [i]but it does not excuse it[/i]. The developer admits the game is crap (I don't think I even described the game that way), but then, knowing that, inflicted it on gamers anyway? This is harmful to the gaming industry. Garbage products like this pollute Steam, and make it hard for independent, professional developers to produce games and find their audience. It makes it harder for gamers to find genuine, high quality games. Yet the developer persisted, knowing they have an inferior product that wasn't professionally produced. Developers, once more, putting their egos before the needs of gamers and the gaming industry. Well, the developer is "going out of business", which shouldn't be a huge surprise because they only have one game on Steam, this one, and they themselves think it's crap (agreed). They never hired any actual game developers or artists and, while this this is now free, it's still not worth wasting the time to download, so there's no revenue stream whatsoever. Asset flipping is a more sustainable business than whatever these guys did. Not to mention, I've seen literally thousands of video games better than this one that were bashed out by a solo developer on his own in the space of weeks... so whatever these guys were doing for that year (who needs 2 full time admin staff to manage 2 developers? And they didn't think to train the developers in video game development??), it wasn't efficient. Of course, their announcement says they're not closing until the end of 2029, so if you do want to download this terrible game, no need to rush. Nothing in the developers pointless breach of Valve guidelines changes any of the objective facts of my review. My review stands unaltered. I cannot recommend this game to anyone.
