Distancing

⠀

"Distancing" is a short, pointless and rather painful (and not just because it's badly made) minigame about social distancing... and given how dated this game already is, some explanation. During the C19 crisis that started last decade, one aspect of the fight against the disease was enforcing "social distancing", which is to say people weren't supposed to get close to other people, to reduce the risk of disease transmission. A lot of people would like social distancing to come back despite the pandemic being, well, "managed" now. I don't blame them. Anyway with that background, this is a simple 10-15 minute arcade game where you try and fail to stay away from other people much like other people try to stay away from the developer's products. The quality is extremely bad and the premise is no longer relevant. The game features really lacklustre 2D visuals (does the developer not know 3D graphics became mainstream in the mid-1990s?). Gamers don't spend thousands of dollars on gaming rigs and the latest 3D graphics cards to play 2D games. Even mobile phones and game consoles can do 3D graphics now. There's no excuse. This is "free" enough, at least you won't be expected to …

simple and easy to play, no mouse or KB or controller throwing, nice.

Extremely loud voiceover right when the game loads. Extremely discourteous. No pop filter on that loud voice over pop-filter, so it sounds awful. The six foot distance should be ten feet. Six feet was for political reasons, not science. Getting hit by the bus just slides you along. There's no way to get a perfect run, as the last room puts you within the circle of an NPC when you spawn in to the room. There's no way to check your email, which the game also chides you for. Total play time: About two minutes. The game doesn't play nice with alt+tab. It's a guilt trip and badly made. Skip.
