An ok 10 minutes experience. [h2]Gameplay[/h2] Try Again is a very, very short, very on-rails action platformer. The gameplay is simple, essentially consisting of "press A when yellow" and "press B when red" and though I had some issues with inputs not being read correctly in some sections or the way forward being a bit unclear, it was a mostly smooth gameplay experience, even if a bit monotonous. [h2]Story[/h2] Due to the game being very, very short, the story is super condensed, a bit to the game's detriment I'd say. You follow Benny, the test character made by the creatively named "Designer" in the final testing day before the publisher seemingly takes one final look before launch? Unfortunately, due to the extremely fast nature of the plot, the reveal that [spoiler]Benny had been getting cloned and reused for years[/spoiler] kinda falls flat when the entire conflict is resolved with a 30 second conversation, followed by the end of the game. [h1]Final Score[/h1] [b]5/10[/b] - Try Again is very average, the cool sections are very short and the gameplay is kinda weak, though with a price of free and a runtime of about 15 minutes, it's hard to say I recommend against it.
Love this concept, execution was pretty good with good platforming and great voice acting/story Just wish it was longer as I would pay for a full game of this

Amazing game, but it's too short, I beat the game in 15 mins.. but as a free game it's very okay
Oyun geliştirme sürecinin o sinir krizleri geçirten, kodların patladığı ve tasarımların sürekli değiştiği mutfağını bir platform oyunuyla harmanlamak harika bir fikir. "Try Again", dördüncü duvarı yıkan ve oyuncuyu bir test karakteri olarak o sancılı tasarım sürecinin tam ortasına atan gerçekten zekice bir iş. Bir yanda zorlu platformlarda hayatta kalmaya çalışırken, diğer yanda oyunun tasarımcısının anlık olarak seviyeyi değiştirmesine, hatalarla boğuşmasına şahit oluyorsunuz. Arka plandaki o "bu mekanik neden çalışmıyor" çaresizliği ve deneme-yanılma döngüsü o kadar ince ve komik yansıtılmış ki, sırf bu detaylar bile yapımı sıradan bir platformer olmaktan çıkarıyor. Karakter kontrolü oldukça tok ve akıcı. Bölümlerde bol bol ölüp baştan başlıyorsunuz (adı üstünde) ama tempolu yapısı sayesinde o "hadi bir kere daha" döngüsü asla sinir bozmuyor. Göze batan en büyük eksiği ise potansiyeline göre inanılmaz kısa sürmesi. Tam mekaniklere ve esprilere ısınıyorsunuz, "evet şimdi asıl olay başlıyor" dediğiniz an oyun bitiveriyor. Yine de tamamen ücretsiz, bağımsız bir proje olduğunu düşünürsek bu kısalık tolere edilebilir. Kütüphanenize bedavaya ekleyip, geliştirme aşamasındaki bir oyunun arka planında yaşanan kaosu çok eğlenceli bir dille deneyimlemek için o yarım saatinizi ayırmaya kesinlikle değer. Tereddütsüz indirin.
such a good game amazing story out of 10 i would rate it 100 but i wish it was longer
very good loved it continue it
短小精悍的良作
good work
Wasn't exactly expecting much as it IS free game, but this completely blew me away! For such a short game i feel like it really is able to convey it's story well.
中评 优点:动作流畅 缺点:强烈不推荐手柄游玩,手柄适配有非常多的bug,包括但不限于(1,钻墙过去,视觉卡死,2,特定场景触发不了,人物移向游戏流程外的地方自动前行,3,人物死亡卡死最后一个镜头,只有声音,4,场景切换2d平面移动变为3d前进移动有概率识别错误,导致人物以不符合当前场景的方式移动,5,最关键的是一出现bug只能重开流程……最终我还是用键盘通关的)
