Equalizer

Product received for free During the period of undivided power of arcade machines on the game market, there were several rules that guided the developers. First, the gameplay should be simple and blunt as a cork, so that a small child, and a 40-year-old man understand in control for a second. Second, you do not need to create long levels, enough to make a concentrated and eventful action. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1139521331 as a result of The cast-out coin the player happily beats the buttons, merges all the lives in a couple of minutes, then goes for a new coin, or gives way to the next visitor. If Equalizer were created for slot machines, it would be guaranteed to be a success. With VR support, too. But We are sitting at the computer, we want to run the arcade and have a good time, and not knock in rage on the table, right? Or not? The First thing that catches the eye at startup is a great visual style, inspired by something like the movie "Tron". Neon illumination, abstract background, on which constantly something is flashing and shimmering color gradients. I Liked the icons of achievements, I estimate the work of the artist on 12 of 10. Graphically everything is done very soundly and tastefully, the same can be said about the sound accompaniment. Each new level has a unique design and musical fragments recorded in different styles (trance, house, dubstep, which is only there). http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1139680253 Once in the virtual world, our protégé must collect pieces of the melody, trying to meet the allotted time for the accrual of bonus points. Starts with a dull learning, during which you are taught to go to WASD and jump on Space. Then comes the first round, in the process of his pleasant voiceover stops the movement on the second platform and persistently asks to collect pieces of melody in the allotted time. And everything would be nothing, but the game does not remember whether all these tips sounded earlier, but simply repeats the cycle of phrases once after time, when the gamer restarts the level. The third time it starts to annoy. Physics is a separate conversation, because it is absolutely disgusting. Gravity in the world Equalizer turned out to be some kind of lunar and cotton-sour, accurately calculate jumps extremely hard. The melody Collection is fixed only if the player jumps exactly to the center of the platform. Sometimes There are unpleasant incidents: a character like and flew, but the capture of the melody is not counted, then went a little back, got the desired fragment and immediately fell down. Restart. TIP Developer: The problem is easy to solve, if you make the character landed exactly on the center, since fly to the platform still managed. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1139679973 Not only jumps limited to this arcade. Sometimes We are pampered with funny horizontal strips imitating the control buttons on the tape recorder. They Touched them-and the speed of movement slowed or sharply increased. Just jump on the next platform after such a surf will be hard due to inertia. The Main question that the player will ask himself after numerous attempts to pass the next level: "Why do I spend time in 2017?". To Summarize, fans of hardcore (in many respects because of physics) Platforming recommend Equalizer still possible. Buying a good discount is justified for collectors of games that appreciate a nice visual style.
