You know, if you do a good job on this, the Escapist will probably host it right here on the site. I'm curious to see where it leads. Make sure to add the elements Yahtzee said he always wanted in a game. Keep it up, and I wish you luck.

Quite clearly needs a gun that shoots shurikens and lightning.
Definitely, it would be better then him shining a light from his crotch...

...Wait what? Why is he shining light from his crotch!?

It needs work. If your going to do a yahtzee/zero punctuation themed game just...you know...give us more zero punctuation references. Wondering around killing nazis doesn't make any sense. Where were the gremlins? Why wasn't hitler riding a giant robot spider? Shouldn't the final boss by Peter Molynators face? Don't just give us a pointless platformer, give it zero punctuation graphics and call it a yahtzee game.

First, this is done all wrong. A game involving Yahtzee MUST involve spunky teenage JRPG characters fighting Hitler be an FPS staring everyone's favourite hat wearing Aussie prick critic. Platformers are really over done I find and are a dime a dozen online. Likewise with FPS's mind you, but at least they are more creative and enjoyable.


Second, sound. There needs to be some form of music added to this game. With it being all quiet and everything I was quite bored.

Third, fix the attack. Light shining out of your crotch is not an attack. Back handing Hitler's with either Yahtzee's hand (or cock) is a real attack.

Fourth, platforming doesn't really work when your just jumping a 2 foot high ledge onto the next 2 foot high ledge. Make it so you can jump higher, farther, and have bigger gaps.

Fifth, calm down on your posts. The attitude that you are taking is similiar to the one used in Yahtzee's review on Webcomics. Calm down, I know people criticizing your work can be frustrating, but you have to approach it with a calm attitude and try to figure out what the responses of the people playing it are so you can adjust it to meet your audience.

Sixth, for the sake of stressing myself, please change this into an FPS. It would be fun playing Yahtzee in an FPS where he shoots a gun firing shurikens and lighting at characters from he previous reviews.

I think all the enemies should be crap games and Yahtzee kills them by spewing bile at them, or by criticising them to death.

This game needs a few things. Music, sound effects, and a limit on the attack are a few.

Still, a decent start. Keep going with it.

I thought it was pretty good. Especially the character creator.

The game's kinda difficult at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's just a little too simple.

But I think you're off to a pretty good start, can't wait to play the finished project.

Good start, but remember, you need more weapons past the hump-ray. And a diversity in the enemies would be nice, too, maybe make the platforming a little tougher.

It just makes you look pretentious.
As does using the word "pretentious".
Ah yes the classic "you used a word that wasn't monosyllabic I think I'll rant now" approach.
And you need to calm down with some of your posts. The game had a slightly ambiguous menu screen and people got confused, chill out.
Ah, sorry. I apologise. Long day and all that.
Long day of making that shitty ass game? I'm sorry, but it bored me to fucking death.

I sat for 5 minutes thinking of a good enemy and weapon.

You sir... ARE A GENIUS!

Apart from the almost-exactly-the-same visuals, its not really much I'd relate to ZP. Yahtzee made a good point about basing a game off an idea or other media; it has to be truly the same thing. He said that in Left 4 Dead the zombies could be replaced with koala's and it could still be a zombie game. I want to see something that really makes it ZP; perhaps something pertaining to reviewing games like the Hulk would peel a banana.

Pretty good for a first level. The end has to be a nazi volcano island fortress of doom though. Vary the theme, that'll help. A walk through titty valley or the dreaded "fanland" wouldn't go amiss in a full game.
