Kongregate
I played a silly game on Kongregate today, in which you choose one of supposedly hundreds of 8-bit characters, all with unique abilities, and try to run them through a dungeon. Each time you kill a new monster, you unlock a new character. While it definitely appeals in a ‘gotta-catch-‘em-all’ kinda way, it’s not very good as a game. Since each character is slightly different, they are horribly balanced, and it’s not uncommon for your dude to die after about two minutes as you try to kill everything around you with no real way to heal and no real indicator of how well you’re doing. Also, the first 20 or so unlocked characters are really halved, as they are male and female versions of the same classes, which are differentiated by the female model having maybe four less pixels than the male version (you know, to very poorly simulate an hourglass figure). Overall, a pretty dumb game. Take that, dumb game.
