I'm going to make this brief:
I like weird games like "Pepsiman" and "Harmful Park".
This game clearly wants to be weird. I hate to break it to the developer, but it doesn't even come close to being the strangest game I've ever played. Panic on Sega CD gets that award (but it was also good).
"Live" does get a consolation prize though: the award for being -THE STUPIDEST AND MOST ANNOYING GAME I'VE EVER PLAYED IN MY LIFE- award.
If you see this and think it looks weirdly interesting, or that it's an easy 100% achievement, just know that the game is twenty minutes long, and if you ever play it again (guaranteed you will never play this again) your achievements reset.
The controls are horrible, the game has two buttons and the left joystick to move, and is as pointless as a football bat.
It isn't worth it at any price.
Please don't ever make another game. Of any kind.

Played through Live three times, I ultimately did find an altenrate ending.
I really, really thought this game was well done and has a hilarious aesthetic. Worth playing through once and for $4 for ~2 hours of your time I'd recommend.

This game is amazing.
Also, I want this soundtrack. 9000/10
In all seriousness, the game is actually quite fun and a good way to spend an hour or so. I was brought here by Jim Sterling's let's play, and I gotta say, I think it's worth the asking price, IMO anyway.
It's a short game, making it easy to complete, and is something truly special. Also, the stalking part will only further give me more rhythm game nightmares...as if Drakengard 1 and 3 final boss encounters wasn't enough.
The soundtrack is amazing, especially the stalking part...I want that song now x_x

Short game, maybe three playthroughs to get multiple endings. Great purchase (if on sale) but not for $4. Probably a better choice if you're a content creator than if you want a fun gaming evening.

Fun little indie title where three of the nine achievements require you to straight up skip levels of the game. It has too much charm to be shovelware.

I bought this game because I saw Jim Sterling ragging on it and thought it didn't look that bad. Well, it's short with awful gameplay but the art and presentation are nice.
The game presents you with 5 moral choices over 4 very short levels (I finished my first playthrough in about 20 minutes). The only impact of the moral choices is what your character looks like: Do you beat up the baby and replace your hand with a piece of candy or do you trade your maraca for the candy and keep your human hand? There is no special ending for going either full pacifist or full genocide which was a bit disappointing.
The levels themselves aren't all that fun to play. The two platforming levels feel sloppy to control and the basketball puzzle is pure luck whether you get the lever to the right position. The third level is just a long somewhat challenging rhythm game which I'm not a big fan of but it can be cheesed by mashing all the buttons at once for the whole sequence. The fourth and final level just requires you to mash 'X' to win.
The game is humorous. From the floppy animations of the characters to the misleading UI display (‘dance!’ does not mean chase down and murder the girl who dumped you, then replacing your genitals with a cartoon arrow), there's enjoyment to be had from the silliness of the homicidal main character.
I enjoyed the overall experience of this game enough to give it a positive review and not refund it but I wouldn't recommend to others at full price. Just wait until someone uploads a full playthrough on Youtube or it gets discounted to below $1.

Great strange little game. I got way more replay out of this than I thought I would. It's short, it's weird but interesting. Don't expect amazing game play out of this, just enjoy the bizarre experience.

Live is a satire/comedy platforming game where you advance in levels and interact/fight with various threats/obstacles on the way. You play as a baby in certain parts, as a grown up in others, etc.
The game is extremely short and honestly, while some aspects of it are rather funny, I can't recommend it in good faith. First of all, the controls and the frame rate are atrocious. This game is also very unfriendly to achievement hunters; I simply forgot to press X during a certain part in the game and I had to exit the game and start a new game which AUTOMATICALLY WIPES YOUR STEAM ACHIEVEMENTS in the process.
I've never seen a game doing this before, but big thumbs down for that, really annoying.
Overall, not really worth the 15-20 minutes for a comedy game, there are less wonky ones out there.

The game is a short, yet difficult mix of platformer and other genres assembled together in order to support the narration.
Featurng:
Crazy gameplay
Earbug soundtrack
2D photogrammetry (kindof)
