Please tell us what you think of the game; use of the words "compelling" and "cinematic" are already assumed in your reviews.

Thanks for all your comments, I whole heartedly agree with most of them. Unfortunately our "typo" was deliberate, and supposed to be a reference to the Wii/Mii system. I guess I should have made it clearer.

Thank you all for your comments, working on this was a lot of fun. Congratulations to the winner are in order.

Invorta.

God dammit >.<

..I lost the game.

OT-I'll be sure to check more of this out later, even though it does seem vaguely familiar.

Has the maker posted a Beta version of this elsewhere?

We posted initial versions to the Escapist Forums for people to have a look at, so you may have seen it there.

Also, the title was never intending to make you lose, sorry.

I thought this was pretty good, the lack of in game music seems kind of strange.

 

[USSR]

snip.

Tis quite fine.

And thanks, I could have sworn I have tried this game before.

It worked out well.

Thanks again to everyone, just to clear up a few final points:

1) Yahtzii IS deliberate, but never mind.
2) The "nothing" button, actually does have a purpose.
3) The Zombie minigame is the reward for enduring the main levels.
4) The minigame NEVER ends. It's there for fun with a sword.
5) A Plumber's outfit reveals broken pipes.
6) The Timelord outfit doesn't include a key to the TARDIS.
7) These claws.... why do they make me faster?
8) The jump variable is OVER 9000!!!!!! If you dress right.
9) Tophats are nothing.
10) You'll never find the last secret, because there isn't one. OR IS THERE?

More of a game that any of the other ones. I think your winning so far.

Though it is painfully difficult and in need of some music.

I likes this one. Bonus points because I made a happy nudist Hitler with his pants on his head which looked rather amusing with the pelvic thrust move ^_^

Is it also deliberat that you got the plural of Nazi wrong?
Also your swastikas are all wrong, but i guess you know that...

Actually, I didn't notice this. Thanks! Is the plural just "Nazi"?

 

[Looshkin]

I thought the "Nazi's" part was deliberate, due to the fact if you move to the right position, the "s" dissapears.

Also, the bonus game is bugged. Several times I got stuck in the walking position, and the zombies just died on contact.

Aslo, Batman outfit, doesn't have any perks? Didn't notice anything different.

The zombie mini game went wakko on me. I was running in place and all the zombies died when they touched me.

Haha, really? Oh dear. Sorry about that. The code must be not quite right. Thanks for playing!

Yeah, sorry. Batman's just Batman.

 

[The Random One]

Argh! The wasted potential is physycally hurting me!

Seriously, with all the awesomeness of the character creator, couldn't there have been a little more polishing with the mechanics? It's clumsy, unfun, and the one hit point wonder thing only makes it frustrating. I still managed to persevere until I couldn't figure out how to kill the giant non-hitler, but can't say I enjoyed the experience.

...

7) These claws.... why do they make me faster?

so wait is there like, stats or something that makes you're character better? How do you fugure this out? Also, how do you unlock all the stuff?

Alright, as you asked. The unlockable items become available after finishing the levels, or for getting the relevant achievements. If you click the "nothing" button, all the Nazis are given top hats and monocles. If you beat the game an additional menu will be unlocked that will help you use the new items.
