Basic synopsis: This seriously needs QA. It's not horrible, but in my opinion, it's nowhere near good.
I've beaten all phases, and have beaten all phases on Hard++ mode. I still don't get it.
{ Gameplay }
- I beat the first two parts of the game by closing the gate and lighting the cube whenever I saw the warning graphic. I ended each of these parts with just about 100% in each category.
- I beat the third part of the game by staring at him the ENTIRE NIGHT with the mirror with the gate open and the cube off. Hard+ and Hard++ mode, you can do the same thing if you see him up close in the hallway. None of this is explained.
- Hard++ mode seems really random, but after beating it, you just hear the alarm go off and you are taken back to the main menu. Absolutely nothing special for winning this due to a bug in the .ini save file. If you transfer the info written to the wrong file to the correct file, you see a new background image...but I have no clue what it means.
{ Presentation & Bugs }
- The game has tons of spelling and grammatical errors (see 'How to Play' for the ultimate example -- e.g. "keep you Mind", "greater then", "keep your gate close", "Naninight need to make 3 steps", "for the rest levels").
- There is a flicker on the home screen that makes it look like a graphical bug, even if it's not.
- The "jumpscare" noise is more hilarious than anything else. It sounds like a one-take random growl noise.
- The "A.L.I.F.A." mask is never explained, and the story is not drawn out to any satisfying level.
- The font on the Hard+ and Hard++ menu is all messed up...way too big, and overlaps the text you need to see.
- The About screen has a big blank text box...no content. Just the author up top. It's also a pop-up window, which isn't characteristic for any of the rest of the presentation.
- Instructions in-game are also incorrect. The cube won't stop "Naninight" unless he is in the "bedroom"/crib room...but there's really no advantage in looking at the "camera" or whatever until Hard++ mode, when the alert for Naninight is disabled.
- The music also cuts out and never loops on the How to Play page, which is very odd. Loud with no resolution, then nothing.
- Volume is deafening on some of the piano riffs on side menus, but gameplay isn't nearly as loud.
- Hard+ mode is labeled as "Standard difficulty" under the text that says "Hard+"...
- Beating Hard++ mode all the way through gets you NOTHING. This is due to a save file error. The main game saves to Enjoy (file), but the other modes save to Enjoy.ini. The background is based on Enjoy, but it never gets the updated data to put the actual ending graphic. You literally get nothing special due to that bug.
- Fun fact: You can hear the alarm noise and still die.
{ vs. FNAF }
- At least Naninights doesn't mess up your screen resolution by defaulting incorrectly in CTF application settings...but this is due to the restriction set in-game. It's a simple fix for FNAF, but it was never actually resolved properly. However, there is no title bar, so you can't move the Naninights window. Even more, clicking on Fullscreen doesn't work at all in Naninights.
- Music still plays when the window isn't in focus, which is a good thing. FNAF? Change to another window and you don't get any audio.
- Disabling Music doesn't Disable Music.
- Story in Naninights isn't nearly as endearing as FNAF, and story frankly isn't explained in any real depth in Naninights. Why does lighting a cube stop a kid with a mask on from...growling in your face? Does he kill you? Does he just make you laugh and thus, you lose since you can't laugh at your job? It's never explained. A.L.I.F.A. mask..what even? Also -- what does "Naninight" mean, and why is this kid nicknamed that? Why does the kid wear the mask?
