Abrez

cool for achievement hunter

Abrez is, as far as I can tell, a "joke" game, made deliberately bad on purpose, in the hopes it will "go viral" because "it's so bad it's good". The "game" itself is next to nothing, a simple arcade "carnival" game where you lob balls at stacks of cans... and this is extraordinarily badly done. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. The graphics aren't great. The graphics here are on par with what you would expect from an insincere "joke" game... laughably, deliberately lazy, badly done visuals. It's apparent the developer went out of their way to make sure the game looks terrible. That will understandably a turn off for a lot of gamers, and it's a big contributor to the failure of the game to attract gamers despite having no up-front cost. Gaming is a primarily visual medium, and if developers want to succeed, they must understand that it's not an area for compromise. You deserve better than compromises. There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks. There's no way to ensure this is running at the native resolution of your display. There's no guarantee this game…

This game revolves around hitting moving stacks of cans with balls to earn as many points as possible within a three-minute time limit. Each stack contains a mix of cans with random points on them, while skull cans deduct them. You’re given three types of limited-use balls: a single ball, an explosive ball, and a triple-shot. If you make it through the full three minutes, the game resets to the next level, and you continue for as long as you can, though no new elements are introduced in later levels. There’s an issue with balance: while you can purchase more balls, you must always save at least one in case a special icon appears, which is the only way to earn money. Since its appearance is unpredictable, you risk running out of balls and missing it. If you’re out of both money and balls, the game ends once three full stacks pass by untouched. To count a stack as "hit," you need to land at least one can.

The controls were as challenging as they were interesting. I really felt like I was actually at the carnival getting scammed myself
