This is one of the most difficult games I've played in awhile. The illiteracy was kind of useless and pointless though.
Reviews for "You Are Disabled"
Kcori responds:
Yeah, I wanted to make reading useful in the game, but I couldn't in time for the deadline. Perhaps cutting it would have been better. I dunno though.
Thanks for playing.
No, this is not how you make a game.
You are sacrificing gameplay to try and prove a point, in which fails already since it's a completely stupid point. This is seriously "Check Your Privilege: The Movie: The Game."
My first was spastic, which I gave up on. The kid wanted to commit suicide. I let him. I got to the point with the 9 beats until the platforms showed up, and the kid just didn't want to do it. So I let him die. Over and over. It was more satisfying than making him try to jump.
Then I went to illiteracy. Really? You're pretending that's a disability that. Um, okay. The game was then a million times easier, because unlike blindness or anything else, there's nothing impairing the controls. That's how it should be. You know, because it's a game.
Overall, it was just a very poor game in terms of gameplay, the sounds were annoying, and it amounted to "I played Rogue's Legacy for an hour and decided to rip it off completely and make people check their privilege." The only difference is that Rogue's Legacy understands that it's not trying to make a point.
Good job on wasting my time and your own time making this.
I didn't really enjoy it. My character shits around the place uncontrollably, forcing me to redo area's.
From a gameplay perspective it's not the best of ideas.
Ironic considering people with these kinds of disabilities have done far more to have an impact on society than making a petty flash game to stomp their feet and shake their fists.
Boring level design, that sacrifices gameplay to "prove a point". It doesn't matter if you make a game,if no one in their right mind wants to play it.
