Reviews for You Are Disabled

[Jecolo]

It's a brilliant concept, but executed not to the same level.
It is a good game, especially one that hits deeply when you realize the intention of the difficulty. It's true to it's counterpart, and makes this game a beautiful remembrance of life's cruel way of dealing cards.

However, although it is a very strong and well performed message, this is still a game.
Gameplay can be executed in a number of ways, and being a medium of entertainment, there are parts of this game where it is nearly impossible to proceed with the disabilities.
Not impossible,
as parallel to the message,
but with barely surmountable extreme difficulty.

I love the intention and meaning behind this game. It's poignant and honest, and makes this game a special one in my mind.
For the gameplay, I will only remember it for it's imposed challenge. Nothing I didn't enjoy, but nothing I appreciated, either.

A game to showcase disabilities with suitable, well potential-realized settings would be in real life. Difficult and still hard-hitting, but not as extreme as being blind with lava pits and disappearing blocks or pinpoint accuracy with random spasms of movement.

Finishes with spastic, doesn't give medal! #utilmatetroll
Don't mind it, interesting idea and well thought out meaning behind it. From a gameplay perspective though the spastic mode was ultra random and non-counterable which only leaves the player the option of mindless grinding which is something I didn't enjoy.
Also the whole "not giving the spastic medal" thing >_> . I played twice through in a row, illiterate first, then spastic. After finishing spastic it did the "love cory" thing, pressed space and it stuck on the dark greg screen where i could click to get onto your twitter etc. Stuck there, no medal D:

So first off I'm sorry you are getting so many terrible comments mostly filled with insults and very little constructive criticism.

Now to my actual review,
I feel like the idea has many interesting gameplay possibilities of which you only utilized a few("social" commentary per signs). Now I understand this was made in 72 h and for that I respect it immensely. Ofc this brings up the problem of submitting games that were created in a certain framework(time-, style- and agerestrictions) to a site with a much larger framework (newgrounds).

I like it for a 72h game but
I feel like you could have improved on it before submitting it to newgrounds.
Some things I feel could have been nice include:
a way to actually deal with your disabilities like drug "powerups" for the spastic or seeing aids for the blind etc(and maybe add puzzels for the illiterate before the very end). And maybe up the level design.

As you can see by my multiple use of the word feel and maybe some weird sentences here and there this is my opinion and I'm not a native english speaker.

TL;DR I think this was a great result of a 72h competition but I mourn the possibilities that this game has missed out on. The idea is great! I would love to see a fully fleged game so if you are thinking about making one. Ignore the nay sayers and bring it on ;)

p.s.: oh and yes the controls do lock up but you are right, otherwise the character movement is very fluid and feels good all around
