extremely ambitious and i respect that!! with that being said, this is worthless as a source of fun. it is basically not functional as the game it’s meant to be, but the fact that it’s even trying is valuable to me. this is a unique game! they could have bullshit a 2D platformer with no personality (like the first one) and called it!! obviously a very circumstantial 6/10 but i think the context that this existed in makes it very interesting to me. if you spend half an hour with it you can see that it was clearly cared about.

with all of this out of the way: you couldn’t force me to keep playing this, but i would love to go through the assets soon

i try to be an empathetic person, especially in regards to art. it is of extreme priority to me that i embody someone who can pinpoint the beautiful in all things; no matter the circumstances under which they were conceived, or the questionable intentions they may have embedded. i even hold a particular fondness for the universally-regarded-as-dog-cock movie this game is based on.

with that being said:

it takes a awful lot for me to call a game “unplayable”. if ever something truly felt like that to me, it likely would have my intrigue (or at least my sympathy) just by nature of being so impotent.

this cuts so much deeper than being unplayable. it is a genuinely nauseating experience. a game under no anesthetic; alive and functional to the most barebones extent, spread wide open by two gloved hands as if inviting you to peer inside in devastation. a trampled graveyard for careers in the arts, commodified into a 4D ride experience at—you guessed it—universal studios.
