Farjob

A few imaginative and well designed boss fights. A surprisingly decent game.

The best part of this game is the imagination that went into it. It's like the dev just cracked open their head and spilled it out for all to see without concern of what people thought. Fun too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-uSlcf4zzk

"Farjob" is a surreal but genuinely made 2D retro pixel/MS-Paintish platformer, one of many thousands infesting Steam. In fairness it seems like quite a bit of work went into this one, but it was still a dismal failure... hard work put into a product/format that nobody really likes (eg: 2D retro GameMaker Studio kitbashed platformers) is unfortunately wasted effort, as the rather embarrassing SteamDB figures show. There's platforming, obstacle avoidance and boss fights in this platformer, and a lot of bizarre and surreal assets... but weirdness was not what the 2D pixel platformer genre needed to come back from the dead. This features really godawful pixelcrap/MS-Paint "art" instead of real graphics. It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to do the job of creating 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter. What matters is that this looks much worse than most other games because of that decision, and that's a major deterrent to gamers. Games like Terraria and Stardew Valley succeeded [i]despite[/i] the bad graphics, not because of them. It's free... now, but it wasn't before. The developer was chargi…

Farjob — атмосферная инди-игра, где игрок превращается в безработного в постапокалиптическом мире. Геймплей строится на диалогах с NPC, поиске работы и принятии решений, влияющих на развитие персонажа и сюжет. Уникальный подход к взаимодействию: каждая беседа — это мини-приключение, а выбор — ключ к разным исходам. Графика и звуковое сопровождение создают мрачную, но уютную атмосферу. Игра не требует сложных механик, идеальна для любителей медленного, но глубокого погружения. Слабое место — скука в межсценарных моментах. Тем не менее, Farjob — отличный эксперимент в жанре симулятора жизни.
