God Hates Us Reviews

Not a bad game, beautiful visual style, pleasant music.

There is something here, it's just not quite there. This review is just to say that while I enjoy the premise of the game there are some definite changes to be made to the game. These include making it so that when you reach the exit door you can't be killed by the bricks above your head, changing the puzzle so it isn't blind luck with what blocks you get, and making it so that there isn't a life system because it makes the game repetitive if you have to keep trying for the same thing again and again. The most important one of these critiques is the door, you can't win the level and then be killed because of an oversight. Overall it has potential, just needs to be worked on.

This game is relentless. It has a simple game mechanic that you can learn quickly, but will not easily master. The hand in the sky (god, who hates us, apparently) drops four kinds of boxes, each of which can be crushed by others. So not only do you have to constantly be getting out of the way of falling boxes, you have to intentionally force god's hand to drop the right boxes in the right spots in order to make it through the door and end each level. This is so much easier said than done, and each level takes a few playthroughs to learn the correct patterns which will send you to the next level. The game does lack a level select, game saves, and a scoring system, which is why I'm not rating it as highly as I might, but for a budget game it takes a fairly unique puzzle platform idea and turns it into a surprisingly challenging affair. Also, bonus points for the derpy look on the face of the main character in the banner. There's just something I like about it. Anyway, this game likely won't blow your mind, but it can provide a decent challenge at a fair price, which is not a bad thing at all.
