Magic Fingers

Hold spacebar to strangle her..

intresing, the hands aren't responsive enough to to "hard"

The sounds were kind of creepy. Especially at the end of the level, what is with that glitchy quadruple "mmm" sound? If you're going to have sounds repeatedly playing in the background, you need to have several different versions of each sound effect. But I don't imagine that people actually make so much noise while they are getting a massage. To enhance the lifelikeness, I'd suggest reducing the prevalence of sound effects and focusing a bit more on the visual side.

The graphics were okay, but they really need more movement. The head turning every once in a while is good, but there needs to be more. An essential aspect of relaxation is the breathing. Show the customer's ribcage expanding and contracting with each breath instead of playing the same breathing sound over and over. Breathing rate and volume could even be worked into the gameplay as a way to show how relaxed the person is.

At first I thought this game was pretty bad, but now that I've played it again, I'd say it's solid. The massage game is an interesting and unique concept, but the implementation could definitely be improved.

The gameplay itself seems somewhat shallow. There is not enough feedback to guide the player to proficiency, and there is not enough nuance to keep them playing. Still, it's an original and promising concept.

Graphics.....check.
Music.....check.
Game.....odd and unique.....check.
Soothing.....check.
It was a new spin on games, but as before mentioned, got a bit dull as the game went on. Makes me want a massage now.
