A review of “ONE CHANCE”

A game produced by AwkwardSilenceGames

one-chance-3One Chance is an 8 bit game with a purpose that goes farther than just having fun. You’re a scientist by the name of John Pilgrim and you have just cured cancer or so you think… in all reality you created a virus that is killing every single living cell on earth. You have six days, many options but only one chance. What are you going to do?

What I love most about this game is that I can’t pick what I love most!! With only the arrow keys and the space bar as controls it was a 50/50 chance that it was going to be horrible and boring or fantastic and addicting. It ended up being horribly fantastic;

with the world ending being the center of the game I could only label it as such. Not only were the control movements simple but so were the music and graphics. I feel like everything had to be so simple to balance out the strong message the game was sending. Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with a little simplicity. Another thing that is great about this game is how it can actually tug at your emotions. I know you’re probably thinking “Don’t most games do this?” Well yes but this particular game is so short you can literally finish it in less than 20 minutes.

I don’t know about you but if you can make a good story-line with multiple endings, good music/graphics in less than 20 minutes for a game than you certainly deserve a…

8/10

I forgot to mention, the Title of this game is more than just a title, it’s the amount of chances you have to play this game; that’s right, after you play it for the first time, you can’t play it again.

So sit up –or don’t- and give “One Chance” a try.

Hi I'm Ari. I Love a lot of things expanding from writing/reading poetry, listening to music, watching movies, to occasionally throwing it down on the basketball court. I could go on to write a novel but I'll save you guys the time/agony and just let you see what I'm all about on my twitter @Jacob_Pooh.
