Re: Anthophobia
Can't See Shit: The Game.
Also, being turned around upon getting hit is pretty terrible, you're pretty much guaranteed to miss the next swing.
Adds in the fact that the enemy attack can hit as soon as the animation start, rather than with some delay to allow reaction/disruption, this can make for some really frustrating moment like getting hit, miss a swing, then get hit again because there's multiple enemies around and the delay after the missed swing make you remain in a spot until the next enemy's attack land.

Re: Anthophobia
pretty good game, I LOVE the hypnotism plant enemy. but there are a lot of great animations on all enemies too. though I didn't see them all, as I died before I could progress further and the checkpoint is a bit far back.
from the looks of the creator's site, the game has been in production for some time now. maybe that means its close to a release? I certainly hope so!

Re: Anthophobia
Using the pipe puts you in danger of getting stun locked by the pollen forever and using your gun eats too much bullets for it to really work out, that and you're expected to get through there quickly with a seemingly endless amount of zombies spawning behind you.
I wonder if you're supposed to use the Molotov you get to reliably get through there, if it's a usable item.This game is a piece of shit and you wanna know why?
THIS
You get hit once and you're stuck for good. There is no fucking way to escape and the boxes take forever to break anyway.

Re: Anthophobia
Zombies never spawned behind me. Also thinking to use a pipe bomb on boxes when you're in a game that requires you to conserve everything you have is just insane.

Re: Anthophobia
Where in the fuck are the checkpoints. Is there a manual save or something? That is my number one no no in H games. I want to check out the H content, but I don't want to trudge back through the whole fucking level every time I surrender to see them. At least they checkpoint prior to adding a new enemy. Could be more frequent, however.

Re: Anthophobia
Checkpoint is in the next room but it spawns you in a terrible spot. Expect to run through most of the room.
Also, maybe it's just me but shooting those explosive barrels makes the frame rate tank PRETTY HARD.
It turns out you might have to, to set off the explosive barrel which will blow up all the boxes. You'll still have to probably run past those plant guys though.

Re: Anthophobia
I can give it some leeway for it's beta status. It has some potential. I like the animations when I actually do get to see them.
I agree with the lighting for sure.
Swing speed could be faster or if your swing would actually hit two or more enemies when they're bunched up as they always are would be a nice change.
Enemy damage could be lessened, I suppose, to make it less frustrating.
Still some bugs that are game breaking. I got stuck in some crazy crouch jump animation and had to exit the game, voiding my progress.
I won't condemn it yet. I'll give it another go when the full version is out and I'm going to keep an eye on the blog to see what adjustments they make.
I need to step away from it for a bit to ease the frustration.

Re: Anthophobia
Main complaints;
1) As everyone else said, extremely dark; can't even see the enemies later on in some rooms, so unfair damage to the player.
2) Inconsistent gameplay design; some of the zombies ignore you outright unless you fire on them, and some of them randomly attack you as you walk by them despite other ones not doing so even though they're doing the exact same thing, so it turns it into "need to shoot/kill everything" which doesn't work when the zombies catch up to you quickly, even when running, or "risk taking damage", which is never good gameplay design.
3) Getting fucked by the enemies only happens (as far as I've seen) when fully unclothed, which leaves you with one or two hits before you're dead, and some of the enemies only go into h-animations when they feel like it (not instantly once you're naked), making you basically hop/dodge around until they fuck you, which is never fun to do.
4) Jumping animation is really awkward, and SP doesn't go down on it during the jump animation itself (only for a bit at the start of the jump), so it's actually to your advantage to just jump as much as possible while running.
-------------------------------
Main pros:
1) Animation is obviously pretty nice, multiple positions during the one sex animation I saw with the zombies (tried to get the plant thing to fuck me to no avail, actually got knocked outside the door once i died, lol...)
2) Sound effects are decent
3) Couldn't find any significant bugs on first playthrough or so, so solid programming

Re: Anthophobia
So, the last check point is two rooms away from the boss.
Due to a bug with enemies being stuck in their "Get Hit" animation sometimes when they're killed, it's possible to get stuck on the first phase of the boss fight from being unable to destroy both arms.
There's also another bug where you're stuck in your walking animation and thus, unable to regen stamina while idle, only being able to when you're walking or crawling.
It seems like it's possible to destroy the arms that attack you from the sides but you can only hit them with the pipe.
Otherwise, the boss seems to only have two animations from these pods it throws out and like some of the latter animations, they haven't had time to put voices in for them.
The boss is end of the demo according to the blog but it seems like it'll be hell to defeat, given how overwhelmed you get by everything it does on the second phase, I've yet to successfully defeat it yet. The game crashing doesn't help either and since the checkpoints aren't treated as saves, back to square one.
Oh well. I'll be looking forward to this regardless. Those tentacle animations from the boss were delicious.

Re: Anthophobia
sex attack isn't random,its the dickjump for the zombie as an example and they tend to do it when the distance isn't too far or too close...
you are really picky about random behavior, it is not fun to predict what every enemy will do... look at terror games like outlast, you play scared for like 10 minutes and then you can basically run around the stage because you know that all enemies behave the same
if you look closely, the zombies that will attack on sight can be difereciated from the ones that stay still...

Re: Anthophobia
The part where there are zombies coming through a crack in the wall and the boxes made me just give up trying to play. There are tons of spores in the air which are nigh-impossible to see and keep you locked for long periods of time, threw the molotov hoping to hit the barrel, but it went further than I expected since you only have the one at that point in the game. Character's too big and too slow to avoid the spores, if you even see them at all. Bah, then on the 2nd attempt the molotov did blow up the barrel, only to have the spores make her walk into the flames and kill herself.
Sometimes when hitting zombies they don't enter hitstun, and immediately attack you instead with the swiping attack which is unavoidable. That needs to go.
There's a glitch where if you pick up clothes while in your pre-jump animation, the character will get stuck in that animation and not be able to take further action.

Re: Anthophobia
Honestly, the 2nd phase is worse when you now have arms camping both sides of the elevator that will occasionally reach into hit you along with the arm that still comes down to punch you.
You WILL get hit by the arms grabbing onto the elevator on the sides while trying to dodge the one that goes down to hit the center unless you have good timing to somehow dodge both simultaneously.You can attack the arms but you can only hit them with the pipe, and I'm not sure how many hits they take.
If you have the pipe equipped you can kick the floor pod things while crouched.

Re: Anthophobia
Where do you go after getting the gas-powered generator running?
By the way, it looks like you can carry a max of 3 gun reloads. That, plus the areas you can't revisit, encourages you to use bullets at least some of the time. I wish I'd known that before slogging through 4 areas with just the pipe.
