Yes, it’s impressive a 14 year old wrote this - something the individual responding to the reviews seems to insist on reminding everyone of. Though the claim they did this “all by themselves” strains credulity. Regardless, the “game” is plainly lacking.
The controls are often unresponsive, unreliable and inaccurate. For example, not knowing whether you were going to walk or throw the plant made each level an exercise in frustration.
The levels are shallow and boring - there are a dozen “turn based” games such as this that execute on this concept well.
I debated whether to write a critical review, but in the end, are we reviewing the game or the narrative of how it was produced? This game, regardless of its provenance, is not in itself worth downloading. At the very least, the bugs and control issues need to be attended to. I’m hoping I can update this review to be 5 *s in the future, because I do want it and the author to be successful.
