Assasinating Dr. Froth by Andrew Trewin

Review MAD SPANNER

I finished the game, but I was disappointed by the ending, even knowing the context of the situation, I felt really underwhelmed and unrewarded. Having a walkthrough in the description ruined the playthrough for me, maybe help could of been given at different stages of progression, or given clues instead of giving the answers.

Comment LinaLyssic

I tried to get to the maintenance room and it didn't work in the online version. How disappointing I didn't get to see the end. But I'm afraid it will scare the crap out of me XD

Comment Dlover

When you press the button on the control panel, it allows you to go up, so you don't have to break the mirror or anything.

Comment magix

hey? i play it now and im stuck.i cant take ashtray....and i cant use the control panel

Comment Andrew Trewin

Thats nice, but it has nothing to do with my game. Please only rate it as to what you see fit for it, not as a bribe to make me play your game and rate it high. Thanks.

Comment Andrew Trewin

Thank you for the compliment, and I will most certainly check out your game.

Comment magix

Comment Andrew Trewin

Strange. You say the ending sucks yet you apparently there is no way to win. The only way to view the ending IS to win, unless you downloaded it and took a look inside. But if you did that then you would know that you CAN "win" it. It isnt my fault your a complete idiot, so there is no need to call me a loser. At least I have actually produced a game that gets more than one star from the rest of the people here.
Begone, vanquish thyself from my presence. Crawl back into that little hole you came out of.
And learn to make one post instead of two. It isnt that difficult.

ending sucks. boring. to short. Still dumb. no way to win, loser.

Comment dther99

you still suck, andrew but i havent tried.

Comment Andrew Trewin

Steve,

The reason you cannot use the cigar on the rail at the beggining is because, well you really have no reason to yet.

Review Steve Lingle

That is irritating. Not the game. I had a full review typed out and had to leave my desk and upon return, it timed out and I lost the review. Arrghh...

In a nutshell, it's a decently written game with not too many spelling and grammar issues. There are some but not too many. The game itself is very short. There appear to be no puzzles aside from a bizarre cigar/hand rail puzzle. And from using the rail on the mirror, you gain a glass shard which has no use to the outcome of the game. Either way, you get the same ending. You have no control over the ending. You simply go to the final room and it ends.
The objects really could use alternate names. Players generally don't care to say "use burning cigar on golden hand rails" when they could simply say "use cigar on rail". There appeared to be a custom command for "push fire button". "press" probably should have been added as well just for the player's sake.
In reference to the only puzzle. When I played through the first time, I did not use the tutorial. When you try to use the cigar on the rail the first time, you aren't allowed to. You can only do so once you go up the elevator. As far as one can tell, all the same objects are there. Same cigar, same rail..but now you can use them together. I didn't get that.
The cigar. When you look at the ashtray, it says the cigar is sitting there but you can't pick up the cigar; you have to pick up the ashtray and it gives you the cigar. On a positive note, after you have the cigar, the ashtray no longer says it's sitting there. So that's a good thing.

I'll give it a 3 out of 5.

PS... In the 'reviews' on this page, it's stratEgy, not stratigy... and sequEl, not sequal. Don't disregard your E's. They can be your friend.

Uh, Thanks and Sorry Elex :)

Review DePaw

I would though appriate if I was asked before anyone has me as a character in their game. Especially if I am to star as "the 4th most wanted on the FBI's Most Wanted list" and described as "renowned for her gruesome and interesting ways she kills her targets".

The game is funny though. The elevator puzzle was quite good and I enjoyed playing this. No spelling of grammer mistakes (except the one pointed out my Michael) that I can see, and the descriptions are detailed, over all a good game. They even capatalised my name correctly.

I'd like to point out, I have nothing against Dr. Froth.

Comment Andrew Trewin

Thank you. A longer sequal will be coming out soon.

And it isn't a stratigy game, it is a puzzle. A stratigy game is like, say Age of Empires.

Review Michael the gamer

Its a first great game for 2008

But too bad its short

I like the story
I like this funny part:
Your name is Dr. Froth, but you arn't a Docter, you just like the title.

a bit of typo there on Doctor but its OK

And I wonder if Elex will ever kill Dr Froth

I think maybe not..
