Many Buttons to Press

Attempted play here: https://youtu.be/LPnMxjyeh3A I was a huge fan of the original played it right when it came out bought the art book and absolutely loved it. This game sorry if you like it I'm just biased about difficult games that don't control well or seem fair. I absolutely hate it. This is the type of game even though I immensely enjoyed the original makes me not want to buy another game from this creator. This frustrated me and offered zero enjoyment and honestly if it wasn't $3.59 I would refund it. I thought about it, but at least the 3.59 can be an additional donation for the masterpiece that was the first game. This is painful. I'm also very aware the creator said he did it on purpose that does not make the game any better or any less of a disappointment.

Первая игра вытащила меня из депрессивного эпизода, вторая всячески пытается обратно вогнать меня в это состояние. Хватило на полчаса, увы, даже на легкой сложности. Возможно когда я возненавижу себя, то продолжу, но не сейчас, я просто не готов к этому. Первая игра была слишком хороша и я буквально на физическом уровне не могу запросить возврат средств, надеюсь в будущем автор порадует нас другими сюжетными шедеврами.

Че так сложно ? Если честно я себя чувствую так какбудто меня ограбили на 69 гривен и плюнули в лицо

I have to be honest, it's really hard to suggest this game to anyone and it's a textbook example of why you shouldn't try to sell your XX days challenges, no matter the price. While I completed it, sometimes enjoying its hardcore-ish difficulty, and I find the concept behind it kind of interesting, it simply falls short in too many aspects to be actually worth any amount of money. From a technical standpoint there are several issues: The worst one is that the engine lacks proper collisions detection and avoid hitting walls is a core gameplay mechanic which is really an unfortunate combo. Even at low speed the damage taken from colliding into a wall is kinda random and it's super easy to get stuck, especially into corners. At some point, add the limited fuel you will have to waste trying to free yourself (when possible at all) to this and you'll get the recipe for tons of unfair deaths. There's no proper balancing and some obstacles and combinations are simply too easy or too hard compared to others: the wrong random one at the last lap can waste an entire run leaving the player no chances other than to restart or to look at their scripted death. While the right one, combined with a ton of luck and a bit of skills, can make most maps feel super-easy. And, well, luck shouldn't play such a huge role in a supposedly challenging game. Viewport scaling is glitchy and, if you have an ultra-wide monitor and you decide to play fullscreen, you'll notice artifacts both on visuals and texts pretty much everywhere. This doesn't look good on a commercial project and makes it look like that random incomplete game you tried to code on a super outdated engine when you were 15, only without the feels attached to it. There are also other bugs, as an example with missiles and falling spikes but those can probably be easily fixed and don't really affect the gameplay that much so let's move on. From a less technical point of view: A-Eye sticks out like a sore thumb in this game and goes from having no personality at all for about 90% of the time to basically behaving like a passive-aggressive drama queen at the end. Generally speaking there's no real reason to actually waste your time and read the dialogues which is, again, really unfortunate. Despite all of this, the game isn't a total failure and with some finishing touches it still has potential as a standalone project. Sure, it's not a sequel and it shouldn't be marketed as one but what I really hope is for it to be just a step in the wrong direction in an otherwise good walk.

"Палец вниз" - этот ещё мягко сказано. Перед вами одна из худших игр, в которые я когда либо играл. Ох, как я был наивен, когда покупал новое творение от автора "Press Any Button", думая, что перед нами развитие первоначальной идеи. Но нет, здесь наш знакомый Эй-Ай нам с самого начала говорит, что сюжет сделал бы эту игру ещё хуже, и поэтому его тут нет. А дальше - наглядное подтверждение того, что Press Any Button была хороша именно цепляющей историей, а не примитивным геймплеем. Данный же недосиквел истории не имеет и представляет из себя просто тупую, примитивную, несбалансированную, и при всём этом крайне сложную трёхкопеечную аркаду с плохим интерфейсом. И слово "трёхкопеечная" здесь обозначает отнюдь не ценник в магазине (целых 99 рублей!) Зачем автор это сделал - непонятно. Ещё более непонятно, зачем в это кому-то играть. Короче - даже не вздумайте платить за данное недоразумение деньги. Хотя, не вздумайте играть в него, даже если игра вдруг станет бесплатной. Бегите как от огня!

For how great the first game was this game is an awful sequal. im sorry

The games description is spot on, the controls are awkward as hell. Sadly they are so awkward that I didn't feel like trying to master them at all. Especially since the game offers nothing besides gameplay that seems worth experiencing.

there's no so many buttons to press. and also there's no a good narrative, the thing that was nice in the first one.
