[h1]«Pink Gum»[/h1] [b][i]Трогательный, интерактивный мультфильм в сюрреалистическом стиле про жизнь, смерть и любовь. Автору удалось за 10-15 минут геймплея продемонстрировать смысл нашего существования.[/i][/b] Игра короткая, но оставляет глубокое впечатление. Видно, что автор вложил в нее частичку души. Необычная, ручная рисовка + анимация + чудесная музыка. Перевода не требуется (игра без слов). Нагота символическая (художественные изображения обнаженных людей). По мере прохождения нам надо решить одну головоломку, собрать небольшой пазл из кусочков и пощелкать розовые пузыри. Насколько я понимаю, розовые пузыри из жвачки символизируют самое дорогое в нашей жизни – любовь (как высшее проявление души/некая магическая материя). Нам показывают, как детская любовь к матери трансформируется в любознательность, затем любовь к девушке, затем к самому себе, а в старости – к воспоминаниям юности. И когда костлявая рука смерти забирает жизнь главного героя, это единственное, что от него остается. «Любовь сильнее смерти и страха смерти. Только ею, только любовью держится и движется жизнь.» © Иван Сергеевич Тургенев [u] Вы можете почитать другие отзывы и подписаться на наших кураторов. Добро пожаловать!

[h1] Рожденье, жвачка, смерть [/h1] Pink Gum – приятный интерактивной мультфильм длиной в чуть более, чем 10 минут. И, пожалуй, трудно сказать об игре что-то помимо той сути, которую игра рассказывает за одно прохождение. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2241552517 С помощью довольно сюрреалистичных, но от этого не менее жизненных картин, с которыми нам предстоит взаимодействовать, игра рассказывает нам историю жизни человека, который проходит путь от младенчества до глубокой старости. Думаю, не нужно объяснять про проблемы взросления и кризис среднего возраста. Эти темы уже затронули или затронут вас. А мини-игра лишь представляет их на фоне излюбленной забавы – жвачки. Иногда правда в жутких и сюрреалистических формах, но с не менее прекрасной работой пары художников и композитора. Пожалуй, единственное, что может составить сомнения к покупке – цена. Ведь даже покупая игру по скидке и соотнося это со всеми вышеупомянутыми плюсами, можно задуматься о соотношении времени, удовольствия и стоимости.
[h3]Pink Gum это не игра, а интерактивное повествование.[/h3] https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3346702147 Если вы устали от игр, или любите сюрреалистичные визуальные новеллы - [i]добро пожаловать![/i] Повествование погружает нас, в смесь чего то неприятного и странного, отталкивающего и любопытного. Ведь фантазии людей самобытны и просты в своей прямолинейности... Автор показывает нам историю одной жизни, в которой мы выступаем наблюдателем, и даже принимаем участие путём решения нескольких головоломок... https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3346702218 Общее ощущение после короткого погружения, спорные и неоднозначные, чего разработчик и хотел добиться. Мне понравилась не стандартная идея повествования через жвачку, как образы мыслей, и формирование личности, а так же контроль нас через других людей - родителей, учителей и др..., думаю это очень креативно и интересно) У разработчика есть и другие интригующие проекты.

Very short game, bright in colours, dark in phantasy. Playing it made me feel uneasy. The pictures arisen in your mind are kind of creepy, there´s the pink colour and that but the topic is darker. Normally I like that kind of artistic and experimental games, but this one could not catch me. I recommend buying it on sale, if you want to try. To get it off your mind you might need some chocolate ;) Homemade Chocolate Pudding Ingredients 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup baking cocoa 1/4 cup cornstarch 1/2 teaspoon salt 4 cups whole milk 2 tablespoons butter 2 teaspoons vanilla extract OPTIONAL: Sweetened whipped cream and M&M's Directions In a heavy saucepan, combine sugar, cocoa, cornstarch and salt. Gradually add milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat; boil and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in butter and vanilla. Spoon into individual serving dishes. Chill until serving. If desired, garnish with whipped cream and M&M's.
[h1]Fshhhuuu...¡POP!💥[/h1] Experiencia interactiva de 10 minutos con un atractivo arte gráfico. Nota: [b]5,6/10[/b]
Pink Gum is a very short journey through a life as told by chewing gum bubbles. I pondered how to sum this game up in a sentence, and I guess that's the best I could do. Not great, really. I think its one of those things that no matter what I might say, you could go, hmm, sounds interesting, but when you actually see it, it will make perfect sense. Which begs the question "Why am I even writing about it then?" Because I think Pink Gum is well worth checking out. For the small amount of time and money you spend, you get a visually appealing, thought provoking experience. I'm also pretty sure that my opinion isn't enough to persuade you, so here are some quotes about the game from famous people. [i]“I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for Pink Gum.”[/i] – [b]Sigmund Freud[/b] [i]“Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to play Pink Gum.”[/i] ― [b]Mahatma Gandhi[/b] [i]“Human happiness and Pink Gum are inseparably connected.”[/i] ― [b]George Washington[/b] All I can say at this point is that if a game is good enough for such luminous luminaries as these fellows, you might want to have a look. So hurry, before all of your bubbles pop too.
This game took more time to figure out than most games. It's a hybrid novel and action game. Definitely an adult game. https://www.hardcoregames.ca/2020/07/29/pink-gum/
[i] My Experience [/i] It's difficult to review Pink Gum, due to the type of experience it is. I can't say I found it "fun" to play, but I appreciated the unique lens through which it shows the stages of life that we are all familiar with. If you're the type of person that enjoys analyzing films (e.g. why did they use this color, or shoot from this angle?), I think you'll enjoy Pink Gum.
**NOTE:** This review is part of my steam curator review and is the extended version. Check my steam curator page at https://store.steampowered.com/curator/39607348-Random-Game-Reviews-by-Labprofess/ . Follow appreciated! --- This game is unique in the simplest of words. Unique. Sounds like a cliche word but theres no better way to express the mood and tone this game conveys. The game follows the lifecycle of a baby from his first contact with the world to his death and throughout all this time there is one thing he never gave up on: bubblegum! Chew bubblegum to create confusing and weird human like figures that will really get your head dizzy and wondering why you're still playing (just joking, despite the "..." factor its an amazing game). The colours used are bright and soothing too say the least. Who knew that pink was so nice to look at in different shades? this is also a quick play; around 15 minutes if you take your time, 25 if you go slow to appreciate the artistic work of the game. The ending credits are also very nicely done in a way to engage with the player due to being part of the same surroundings as prior rather than as part of an additional scene. Lastly, the questions everyone has been waiting for: Do I recommend this game? Yes. Yes I do recommend this game. However theres some things to keep in mind: First, this game is more watching than interacting. You press a few buttons here and there but mostly it just scenes. Beautiful drawn scenes. Secondly, this is a quick game meaning its perfect to play to burn some time before leaving your house or while waiting for someone. Thirdly, at moment of writing, this game magically closes itself after playing the credits which isn't really cool. Gives off the vibe of 'okay you completed the game. Cool, now you can delete me'. Instead they should add a homescreen where the game returns you too. Taking all this into consideration, I would then say too who is interested: go on! Get yourself that game and enjoy it!
Came in with questions. Came out with MORE questions. 10/10 would pop gum again
