Pre-Shave is a simple Flash tier demo game about a hirsuite man who must shave and groom before a trip. The game was slapped together with the godawful GameMaker Studio video game construction kit from Yoyogames. Gameplay consists of wrestling with a deliberately bad control scheme in an effort to remove some of the hair and do basic hygeine. This is clearly some kind of demo/"art" installation/mobile app rather than being a professionally constructed video game. The game has locked resolution and controls and displays in a mobile app 9:16 aspect ratio, making it clear this was designed for iPhones and not PC. They chose to use obsolete retro MS-Paint "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. These flaws push this game far below minimum acceptable standards for PC. GameMaker Studio is a very poor quality game construction kit, and unsurprisingly results in products that have little to no value as games, especially when compared to the work of professional developers who create genuine products for gamers. Using a video game construction kit requires little to no talent or skill as a game developer. Very often, GameMaker Studio is used to make shovelware and lazy cash grabs, although in this case the game is completely free. While this is free, the quality is too low to recommend to PC gamers.

[b]Pre-Shave[/b] is a fun indie game where you have to deal with the struggles of extreme body hair, especially when you're a Middle Eastern man trying to be presentable at an airport! The concept and art style is simple yet unique and funny. It's easy to figure out the controls [i](Left-click for your left arm and Right-click for your right arm)[/i], but the wacky physics sometimes make it difficult to pick up the right item. Other than that, as a quick free game, I definitely recommend! I see a lot of potential if they were to include multiple endings, different characters, settings, ect. [b]PROS[/b][list] [*]FREE [*]Short (~10 min) [*]Easy to obtain 100% achievements [*]Great art style [*]Creative control [*]Funny concept [/list] [b]CONS[/b][list] [*]Only one ending [*]Hard to pick up specific items [/list]

Está simpático y tiene varios logros que te los dan los varios finales del juego. Es como un juego flash de antaño.
Ich mußte zwischen durch ja schon etwas schmunzeln. Charmant und ein wenig Witzig ist das ganze ja schon. Aber lange kann man sich das auch nicht antun. ;) Trotzdem gibts einen Daumen nach oben dafür. Die Errungenschaften sind auch schnell erreicht nur leider wurde mir das nicht als "Perfektes Spiel" gewertet. Grüße o/ I had to smile a bit in between. The whole thing is charming and a little funny. But you can't do that to yourself for long. ;) Nevertheless, there is a thumbs up for it. The achievements are also achieved quickly, but unfortunately it was not rated as a "perfect game" for me. Greetings o /
Great for getting easy achievements, and some short entertainment.

Минималистичная медитативная игра‑симулятор: игрок выполняет рутинные действия подготовки к бритью — наносит средства, изучает текстуры и движения, погружаясь в успокаивающий процесс. Плюсы: успокаивающий геймплей — монотонные действия помогают расслабиться и снять стресс; тактильная проработка: внимание к ощущениям пены, щётки, воды создаёт эффект присутствия; минималистичный дизайн и мягкая цветовая палитра — визуально не перегружает, способствует релаксации. Минусы: крайне простой геймплей — может быстро наскучить тем, кто ищет вызовы или сюжет; очень короткая продолжительность — весь опыт укладывается в несколько минут; ограниченная интерактивность — мало вариантов действий, почти нет вариативности. Итог: нишевая медитативная миниатюра для коротких перерывов — подойдёт, чтобы отвлечься и успокоиться за счёт плавных действий и приятной эстетики, но не даст глубокого или долгого игрового опыта.
