Psychocat: The Answer Reviews

This game is evil. I love it. It reminds me of when I was a child, took a load of LSD, thought I was a cat, started running up to random people to hug and lick them. Rating: 12/10, would do again ProTip: Nothing helps, but if you're willing, try some acid while playing the game. "At first, it was just curiosity to see if I could find the answer. Now I HAVE to find the answer!"

I loved/hated it and ultimately it was just a waste of time. My experience went as such: I got faster all the time. I felt the progress to keep going reaching out in front of me. Each door that seemed shut could be opened with the right reaction at the right time if I was fast enough. I'd form rules to follow if something felt unnatural. Meanwhile, I would be praticing; trying to teach my fingers what to do. Changing back and forth I'd stretch myself as far my luck, speed, and patience would take me. At the end of it all, I realized...

You play this game as a cat who goes through a tunnel to find the answer. The tunnels rotate left and right. I haven't found the answer yet. It is a challenging videogame, and a true test to your hand, and eye coordination. If you've aced this test you're a super man. 10 out 10. The option to quit doesn't exist until you find the answer.

The feel of your eyeballs falling out & temporary hallucination for 99 cents. I like it. [spoiler]Won't let me rage quit either :^)[/spoiler]

Fun and trippy. Not a fan of the exit option, but it adds some artsy-ness to it. fun if you want a challenging game that isn't too hard to pick up, but imho hard to master.

I'm yet to find the answer, but I'm well on my way to get it! What I can say so far is that it's a trippy fast-paced evil game that works by messing with your mind in a very bendy way. Travel through a tunnel for 3 minutes. It is said that "the answer" is at the end of the tunnel of inverted controls, so just giddy up and try to find the "answer", whatever it may be...

Its a very good game to pass some time and once youre getting closer to the end it can for its simplicity be quite addictive. The gameplay while at the core resembles that of an old school arcade jump and run still holds up pretty well thanks to the core mechanic which is swapping between four different control styles on the fly. There are seven level parts in total an each one has a unique step up in difficulty. Thats also why i'd say that its relatively easy to learn and quite hard to master. And to conclude the soundtrack is also very atmospheric as long as your a little mad yourself.

You can't rebind the controls from the arrow keys or close the game without alt+F4 / tabbing out. Very basic things every game should have. I get not being able to quit is part of the rage bait, but still. The game itself is fine... it's a trippy rage game that'll give you some fair entertainment for $0.49. I personally found it more annoying than anything else, but if you like these types of games this a decent version.

Okay the concept is interesting and the gameplay is nice, but here's the problem. It is SUPER hard, and it WILL NOT let you quit the game until you "find the answer", which i assume requires you to last a certain amount of time in this rainbow hell. Thing is, if you aren't all that good at it, not only is it frustrating, but the constantly changing rainbow lights may start to give you a headache. They may make you start to feel sick. And if you try to quit it asks you if youve found the answer. If you haven't it won't let you stop. It won't let you lie either. I had to go to the task manager and force shut the thing down just to make the headaches stop. Do not play this game if you are not good at it. If you are not good at it it will not let you go until you are. And the flashing lights, they never, never stop. Now if you could quit when you wanted to instead of being forced to watch nonstop flashing lights until you 'find the answer', maybe my review would be different. But as it is, no. I cannot recommend this game. This game gave me a migraine and made me feel sick, then refused to let me take a break when I needed to get away from the lights. This game is mean and inconsiderate and might even be actually dangerous to photosensitive people. Like I dont even have a problem with a few flashing lights and it had me about to throw up, I can't imagine how much worse it would be for someone who's sensitive to that kind of thing. So if you're thinking about it, don't. Just. Don't.
