Vicky Saves the Big Dumb World

[h1] Mediocre gameplay pretty much and boring levels. This game must be dum-b. [/h1]

I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing. Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side. With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of y…

Much value for little money. Despite difficulty, quite enjoyable.

this game broke my computer in 2015

Vicky Saves The Big Dumb World is a retro platformer where you control a young orphan girl who can for some reason shoot bolts of fire at things and you have to jump around various levels full of broken cars and things. There's some kind of plot reason but the story isn't very engaging. The best thing about this game is that it doesn't use retro pixel graphics. The artwork is on the low end of average but it's not terrible. The game controls are very janky though, often I had issues trying to jump in any direction as the game doesn't seem to like concurrent keypresses very much. That's the kind of thing that has to be perfect in a platformer, and it isn't here. The platforming is pretty bad, too, with janky annoying platforms and unengaging obstacles and enemies. Just too mediocre for me to recommend.
