Good game but the "spastic" disability made me rage quit. especially when you stop in mid air over a pit.
Reviews for "You Are Disabled"
Kcori responds:
Thanks. That's the idea.
ok, u got a serious disability to understand Fun that s it, not even the 275 points in medals are going to make me do this shit
Kcori responds:
Do all video games have to be fun? Is that the only emotion a game developer can target?
Ok, good ideas, but there's a difference between challenging and so hard I don't want to play, i beat it as illiterate, but it was so extremely hard, i don't think it was worth it.
The game loaded up with no disabilities to speak of, which I assume was a glitch. It was STILL too tedious to finish. The collision detection is too touchy and most levels expect you to hop between platforms for too long to finish a level. I don't even want to imagine what it would have been like with purposely bad viability or controls.
You really could have called this "fake difficulty: the game" and lost nothing.
Kcori responds:
Can you elaborate on the collision detection being touchy?
I don't log in very much, and when I do it's for writing reviews, so here it goes...
The game is pretty good, but like others have been saying spastic is too frustrating. Maybe having spastic just seize and stop moving at certain intervals would be better. I refreshed the page and got illiterate and this proved to be way too easy. By just observing the levels you can see what's going to happen, so the signs really dont matter. I also found a bug/cheat, the tops of the levels dont have any invisible walls or blocks above the screen blocking movement. So if you jump to the top and land on a block you can jump over it. Using this, towards the end I skipped the last 6 or 7 levels completely by just running above the levels (like in smb on nes).
I was also a little upset at illiteracy being a disability, which you lump in with being a cripple, being a "spastic" (which is the same as seizures, muscle spasms), and blindness. All of the other disabilities are things that you cannot control, but learning to read is something completely within your grasp. If you meant that the illiterate person was mentally retarded, then you should've said so. As a person who has seizures I'm upset at this.
I'm not going to take my personal feelings into the rating, so I'll give you a 4 for the bug, and the spastic being too frustrating.
Kcori responds:
Spastic probably wasn't the right word to use. The character in Spastic mode has tics, so maybe it's closer to severe Tourette syndrome. I myself have very minor and occasional Tourette-like tics and spoke to someone with prevalent, diagnosed Tourette syndrome. Perhaps spastic should have been inspired more by that and incorporated some of the same feelings.
You're correct that literacy isn't a disability, but I wanted the reason for his/her illiteracy to be up to interpretation. This game probably would have benefited had I had the time to put more thought into everything though.
It wasn't my intention to offend anyone, and I apologize if I did.
Thanks for playing and reviewing.
