The Fact That This Game Costs Money is a Joke
What really should have been just another shitty flash game, has now been turned into a download "indie" game on sale for 4.49 on Steam. Raycatcher is a puzzle game that generates itself off of your music collection on your computer. With bland visuals, extremely boring gameplay, and terrible music detection Raycatcher fails to deliver everything it advertises. The fact that this game costs money feels like a scam.
Gameplay:
In a nut shell, Raycather is a puzzle game that requires you to match colored circles with colored lasers. You’re given a small circle made up from about five smaller circles and required to turn them into collision with matching colored lasers. It seems so basic that it almost feels complicated at first. You rotate the circles and match them with moving rays, that’s it. The big catch here is that your music generates the rays occurrence and occasionally its path. But the beat detection is so terrible you never actually feel like your playing your own music. It’s like playing a horrid flash game wile listen to your favorite music on itunes. Visually there’s nothing to look at other then bland backgrounds and blue, red, and yellow circles . . . that’s it. There’s virtually no option to change resolution, music volume, or anything else of that nature.
Final Thoughts:
The fact that this game has a price tag attached to it feels like a total scam. Never have I been so disappointed with a Steam purchase in my life. Most people (like myself) who bought the game went into it thinking of fun along the lines of Audiosurf due to the fact that it has music detection. Its false advertising at its finest, its a trap.
