@christiancinnabars1402 8 ай бұрын

@Jormyyy 5 bucks is kind of pushing it. At least in 2023. If this was a free proof of concept game with the more noticeable cutscene jank instead being tongue-in-cheek jokes thrown throughout, then I'd say it would be a pretty good starting point for a solo dev or a small dev team. For it to really be worth selling past the very early 2000s, then it would need more polish that, granted, even a solo game dev could be capable of given several more months. Streamlining/crunching down the levels so it isn't such a confusing walkfest, making the combat more enjoyable (AND rewarding; giving a single skill point for beating very specific groups of enemies isn't enough), and especially getting the movement of the player Kongs down. Just nailing down those three aspects alone would make it an easy $5 sell, even _with_ the graphics being as crusty as they are (but _please_ still fix the cutscene .jpgs).

It was this weird videogame references that really played no part in the overall story but they put it in anyway..... The weirdness of that combined with this clusterfuck of a game feels like they just retooled the show to be an actual game but still fucked up.
