Oh yeah, awards are great. Of course, you have to polish the things every few days or they get sharp and rusty. No one wants to cut their hand while holding up an award...
Between Heaven and Hell Reviews Games for Windows (July 2007) - "Got to be a long-in-the-tooth gamer like me, and
fond memories—flashbacks
to simpler days—occasionally club
you over the head. The year: 1991. I’m sitting in front of my old computer
after installing Out of This World. The
stark graphics, weird animation, and moody atmosphere blew the mind. Look around for Another World online to nab
a remixed version cheap.
What the hell does this have to do with Between
Heaven and Hell? We get a new free game
obviously inspired by that classic title.
You’re Vince. You’ve had better
days. Run over by a drunk driver,
you’re in limbo, and your fiancée is hell-bound. It’s time to square off against demons,
robots, and “an evil lady who throws bombs!”
You’re running, jumping, and crawling through a neat 2D world. GameHippo - 8/10 - "Between Heaven and Hell is a fun game from start to finish, visually stylish and with good non-frenetic gameplay"
AfterShocked! Reviews Computer Gaming World Disc (November 2002) - "If you can put up with the Magic Marker artwork and some off-color humor, Aftershocked is perhaps the finest spiritual successor to the old LucasArts adventure games that has ever been released. The post-apolyptic setting is just as absurd as the game's many puzzles, but the interface is so slick and the story flows so well that it's tough to stop playing once things get rolling." GameHippo - 8/10 - "AfterShocked! is a real gem. It takes serious and sensitive issues, such as racism, homosexuality, prejudices, nuclear holocausts, abusive dictators, death, homelessness, and substance abuse - and makes fun of them all." GameJolt - 8/10 - "Overall, AfterShocked! is a professional-quality game in a children-style world, and the two mixed together produce a surprisingly stunning game. Download it now, it never fails to impress." Acid-Play - 70% - "To put it mildly, this game is weird. Very, very weird. Though don't get me wrong it's also brilliant." Adventure Gamers - "The surprisingly young Dabrowski, using AGAST, has created a very funny and very extensive little game, with an innocent look and a wickedly offbeat sense of humor." iDNES.cz - 7/10 - I have no idea what they're saying on this site, but my guess would have to be "Greatest game of all time." freegame.cz - 75% - The Czech Republic sure does like to review my game. Adventure-Treff - I don't know German, so I put this through Google's translator and got the this: "Who does not have no problem before rabenschwarzem humor back-frightened and to talk with skinned rodents which should itself regard the play in any case. "
