This game reminds me of a science fiction novel “Neuromancer” or Hugh Jackman in the movie “Swordfish”. – [Reviewer's description]
Notes – How to Play section has some English. Click on missions to get XP/cash (pick it up with the mouse); use it to upgrade stats and weapons/armor. Play the slots for mad cash when it unlocks.
Link broken duder.
Thanks for the catch, feeling dumb right about now.
Kinda like this. Can’t figure out what RCV is, though.
Recovery
Oh. Finished it. Erm…addictive, and I think innovative. But, I’m left uneasy as to where the last hour and a half exactly went
It was fun. I just can’t seem to unlock the bonus in the top right corner, even though I’ve done everything else…
indeed. neither can i.
You need to max your combo (wide bar beneath your stats).
Thanks!
I got the top-right bonus by filling the blue bar between the stats and the rest of the game. This, in turn, I did by mashing on the 100% box between life recovery and the final boss.
Thanks for the tip! Here’s one in return: that’s not the final boss
If that thing with the seventy-five health bars isn’t the final boss, what is?
It’s weird how much I played this game. No graphics, no story, just numbers. It was like playing an Excel spreadsheet.
I’m not sure at all why this is compelling, but I was definitely charmed. Part of it might be because the exact mechanics took a while to figure out. Would it have worked without the mouse-collection routine?
I played it for some time without realizing the mouse collection stuff, so : yes.
That’s nice to have confirmed. While playing I was thinking I might have preferred it without, but wasn’t sure if I might have been under-valuing what the extra bit of action was adding.
I had fun. We need more games like this that entail grokking maps of abstract data, so that we can feel like that character in “Idoru” who does this for a living. It is a pretty brainless experience though once you figure out the rules.
Really enjoyed it. Kinda annoyed that I didn’t (or forgot to, in one case) save the 2x stat bonuses till the end, though.
