Everything was good and beautiful.
except for the last mini game, it was really hard because sometimes the input wouldn't register and screw me over.
Reviews for "Pain That Binds Us"
I love the graphical style. The music and sound effects were great.
There were a couple of weird things though.
You rapidly hit the A and D buttons, and the superhero and the evil guys just kind of stand there? Until you hit the D key the last time and they blow up. Usually with a quicktime event like that, you'd expect the hero to kind of struggle/wiggle/try to push someone off each time you hit the A or D key, and then on the last key stroke he finally succeeds.
I like the minimalist, kind of intuitive way you present most of the game mechanics, but the one thing that confused me was the sliding green bar. It took me a while to figure out what was going on there until I scrolled down to the game description and read that the F button is for doing action, and maybe that's what you have to hit to make the green bar stop in the right place.
I also have no idea what the pictures that popped up meant, but maybe I'm just a bit slow in that regard.
Not bad, not bad at all. At some points it WAS a bit hard to understand what I was supposed to do. At the crawling part it was going by so slowly that I almsot was like, ''Am I supposed to be pressing something more than just D or?...'' but at the other points this game was good. It told a story which made sense to me. It didn't rush it but at the same time didn't do so many pictures it just got boring. All in all, pretty nice!! ^^
