Mercury Blue: Mini Episode

Short (took me 30 min's) & Easy Point & Click Game with a couple of Sniper-Rifle Shooting Areas. OK Story, kind of like a Prequel to a larger story which is hopefully being made. Achievements won't count towards your overall stats on your Profile though. Since it's FREE you might as well give it a try if you like Point & Click Games.

(a mini episode to showcase what will eventually be a five part episodic point and click) [b] Pros: [/b] - Funny - Free - Good voice acting, and many things are actually voiced - Simple and enjoyable gameplay [b] Neutral: [/b] - Short 40 minute game - Art is slightly pointy, as in not very polished - Decent references to popular gaming culture [b] Cons: [/b] - Nothing really, didn't experience any bugs - Needs some fixes to grammar Personal Rating: 4/5

I had a blast with this short. Really fun, made me laugh what more do you want in a game? Really looking forward to more in the future.

This is a short game that is good for [u]achievement hunters[/u] or for those peeps who [u]want to kill time[/u]. [i]I think this game is like a preview of a full version game that hasn't been released yet. [/i] (Hopefully they don't add more achievements to this current episode!) [b]100% achievement?:[/b] YES! Within 1 hour. If you are fast, i think 30 mins is enough. [b]Content?[/b] Not really. If content is important for you, you can skip this game for now. (Until the full version is out, if there even is.) [b]In game transaction / Microtransaction? [/b] Nope, it is 100% free. [b]Music & Sound?[/b] Nothing really interests me. [b]Children friendly?[/b] No reason to - not an educational game + [i]why do kids need achievements?[/i] [b]I suck in games. Can I play this and get 100% achievements?[/b] YES! This game is quite ♥♥♥♥♥♥-proof :D [i](AHEM! I am the president of "Suck-In-Games-But-Still-Wanna-Play Club")[/i] [b]Playing Tip For Members Of My Club: [/b] [spoiler]After you have killed the queen, please [u]DO NOT[/u] put the loaded rifle with scope back to the tripod! Really retarded move - I stupidly did this and was stuck in the game (unable to exit hence had to restart from previous save point). SIGH [/spoiler] [b][i]P/S: Recruiting members for [i]my club[/i]! If you are bad in playing games but you still wanna play, add me as friend! :) *high five* [/i][b]

[h1]Will this game make you feel blue?[/h1] [i]Mercury Blue: Mini Episode[/i] is a test product that sets up the premise for a larger project. You play from different perspectives of a human and a robot (with an engine head and a GLaDOS face, but with Wheatley mannerisms), which is a plus, but may be off-putting to some. Problems I had with this product? Animations were kinda' rough around the edges and often came off as unpolished....namely after an alien resembling the barnacles from [i]Half Life[/i] tries to eat the robot. The models also felt like they were from the mid-90's and not in a good way. The models felt awkward as they were animated, though movement seems fine...talking or doing anything else however is another story. I thought the humor was okay, but some of it is kind of forced. The humor needs to feel natural rather than needing an excuse to bleep some curses. Other than that, the writing seems fine. Is [i]Mercury Blue: Mini Episode[/i] for you? Well, it's a free point-and-click game that won't take you an hour to finish and you get some easy achievements. I'd say to go for it, but not to expect anything serious. It's almost as if the game knows it's not something serious, so it doesn't take itself seriously...though it does have some backstory that's supposed to feel deep, I can only find it comical in a bad way. It's a decent test project, but I expect the full product to be much higher quality than this. 5/10 A decent time waster if you're looking for an aspiring project.

[HEADS UP: This game has a (pretty bad) shooting sequence at one point, and for myself and others in the Discussion it failed to work correctly with a high hz monitor. I forced 30FPS and it worked just fine (didn't need to lower the hz on my monitor). (Second shooting sequence works even with 30FPS limitation removed.) YOU CAN'T SAVE DURING THE SHOOTING SEQUENCE, so if you haven't saved up until that point you're stuck restarting. Learned that the hard way.] Mercury Blue: Mini Episode... + it's free ~ while it has achievements and is an easy 100%, it won't count towards your Perfect Games so just fyi - buggy, as noted above - "stay tuned for episode 1 in 2019!" it proclaims once you finish it - two poor shooting sequences (adding these kinds of things to adventure games never works!) - it's not funny, except in a "how embarrassing" sort of way - what it attempts to set up is unmemorable Except as a curiosity, this is best avoided. (I'm a little blown away that it's currently Very Positive. I usually recommend freebies just for being free, but...)
