1... 2... 3... KICK IT! (Drop that beat like an ugly baby)

Kick It can be described as some kind of free falling music rhythm game. It's a new indie game that uses a technology that creates levels based on the music you load it through. This game was made by Dejobaan Games who seem to make oddball indie games on the PC. Well whoever they are, let's just hope this game will be fun.




The game starts out with an intro screen and some button.
The intro screen is actually pleasing and vibrant. Got some good impressions on this game already. No music though. Well let's go find that start button.

You push the start button and suddenly [returnkey]

This.
Is.
Boring.
Where are the vibrant colors?
Where that cool free falling animation on the start up screen?
Hell, where is the music?
No points for polish my good sir.

So yeah. Okay then, whatever. Let's start out by checking out City 11B, whatever the hell that means.

Okay, so I have to pick a song. Okay then.
....
Wait. I have to move all the songs onto one folder? I can't browse my computer for a specific song that I already have?
HUGE SUCCESS[returnkey]
Oh great. Now I have to go back to the main menu. Hit the Music Folder button and start dragging and dropping songs in there. Thank you. For wasting my time. I just want to play the damn game for Christ's sake.
But whatever.

Now. After fiddling through a poorly designed menu, we have finally made it to
THE GAMEPLAY and GRAPHICS

....
This is.... boring. The colors are vibrant and aesthetically pleasing. But.... this gameplay sucks. All I'm doing is flying through "point panels" or whatever they're called. This just keeps repeating until the song is over. I can apparently get more points by going near objects and this apparently increases my multiplier up until five. But really. This is not fun. I want my money back. I tried the other modes, and guess what. It's the same thing. [returnkey]

There isn't much I can say about replay value. I mean, if this is the entire game and the gameplay just sucks in general, replay value is completely null.

Overall, I would have to say Kick It is an awful game that has an interesting idea, but is completely flushed down a toilet when the execution just destroys any reminiscence of any good gameplay, whether or not said good gameplay existed in the developing process.


Overall Score:

3.50/10


I don't care if it's indie. If it's a bad game, we shouldn't be babying it and judging it by low stand-zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

We do what we must because we can.
