The gloves... they don't work.
It isn't exactly a mystery that someone at Got Game Entertainment and Headup Games had just played Portal and decided to ride its wave of success. The similarities between the games aren't exactly subtle. You're equipped with an orange glowing glove for one hand and a blue for the other. One can pull objects, or pull you towards a surface. One can push objects, or push you away from surfaces. Depending on how long you charge the glove on each use, depends on the strength of its action. You spend the rest of the game solving puzzles with these gloves guided or taunted by 2 AI characters speaking to you on a PA system.
So how does this derivative game fare?
About 5 minutes in it was easy to deduce that said publisher had hired a single 9 year old to not only write the story and script for this game, but code the game and design the levels too. A rather impressive feat.
Unfortunately 30 minutes in I wanted to beat that 9 year old to death in a painful fashion. The physics are appalling. If you fall from any height over what I perceive to be about 1.5m, you die. The gloves DO NOT work. They are horrendous to use and are absolutely a hit and miss. The bots are broke as hell. The puzzles should take about 2 minutes to solve instead they can take an entire hour.
The voice acting complements the script and story - abominable. This is The Room of video games. One of my favourite lines is spoken at the pinnacle moment of the game - when you are pitted against the main boss. Just like GLADOS, he tries to break your spirits with a biting taunt, "You seem really tired number 9, why don't you rest." Alas, our main character remains fervent on destroying him and responds, "I'll rest all right, only you won't be around to watch it." Honestly what the ****.
The twist in this game comes in the credits. It wasn't actually a 9 year old that one can only deduce must have made the game, it was a team of adults. Full grown humans. I don't even...
