Unity - Bare Backstreets [v0.8.2] [Jasonafex]

Looks good, kills your computer.

I mean that literally. It's so badly optimized that you need something capable of running the latest AAA games at maximun resolution and it will still make your computer suffer.

I would not recommend it, at all. At the end of the day paying a hundred bucks for furry porn would still be cheaper than playing this and replacing your graphic card. I don't have enough money to go around throwing it for that, seeing as you're here neither do you.

The game is unplayable.

That was the definition that came to my mind.

Everything in this game seems like it was made without even the developers testing it, it seems like they don't care about the game anymore.

Let's get to the details:
- Gameplay is totally buggy. The movements are accompanied by FPS crashes. That is, there are times when the game crashes due to poor optimization, as a result of lack of skill (or competence, in this case).

- The animations and arts are the only things that make this game "better". They're good, but it doesn't matter if everything else is in complete chaos.
Even a criticism is the lack of diversity of animation poses. All three playable characters have the same animation.

- The mechanics are completely broken. The punches are barely accurate, along with the fact that opponents are terrible at fighting. Which I guarantee is going to be complete hell to play.

I swear I try to find something good in this game.
But... in this state?

They are simply giving a shit about their donors.

Defending this game is simply a joke. How many have this production? 4 years?
And it doesn't even have new content right?

I'm going to delete this game and recommend you do the same.


(Ps: Are there 25 people participating in the production? God in heaven).

Pss: This is the first time I do a negative review on this site. Congratulations

Not worth the time.
As of right now this game is too unpolished to justify playing it.
Enemies become invisible/glitch out of level, sounds become endless, prompts what aren't working, etc.
Lackluster amount of porn content. It is good content, but there isn't much, not to mention what all player characters share the animations. So even though you have 3 characters sex animations for them are all the same.

Just wait for the full release, since right now there isn't enough content to justify suffering through bugs.

Not sure why the game is rated so poorly. It has good mechanics and is really solid for a WIP. Currently at .7 and really fun. Though some off the buff and abilities are broken or glitch there is nothing game breaking I have seen.

0.6.8
Its dogshit.

Don't know what you are expecting.

Just another developer that is milking their patrons, not releasing worthwhile content.

1 enemy added.

Everything else about the game is a broken mess.

How much of a broken mess?

Your only sane playability would be going into the debug or whatever it is stage to mess with the enemies.

Oh, good luck closing the app. My attempts at closing it caused a freeze where I could only window's key my Windows Menu to bring me to start so I had to hit Log Out/Sign Out of windows to just close the fucking game.

Yea, the game is that much of a fuck up where you can't even Task Manager pull up to close the piece of shit. Well, maybe you can if you aren't full screening, but I haven't tested it and have no plans of testing it. I mean, what the fuck.

This game is so much fucking riddled with bugs it might as well be a fucking virus in itself. Especially again with the note on being unable to close the app normally without having to sign out of windows to close a fucking game that hard locks up and doesn't close at all(unless again you sign out of your user.)

Like holy fuck. What the fuck?

Okay, rambling aside.

Yea, this game is dogshit.

I feel sorry for patrons being fucking milked by this scam artist. I honestly wish there was a way to reach out to these people and tell them, 'hey, this fucking poser is scamming you of all your money.'

I played this game a while back and then it was a buggy mess with very little content. I came back after while hoping that the bugs have been ironed out and to their credit they were. not all of them but the game didn't lock up every 5 minutes with some random error involving the colision or animations. What I didn't expect that not only has not much content been added but they decide to lock one of the characters behind a patreon wall. This wouldn't be a problem except the prior version I played didn't have that with that very character but it was also the straight option that they locked. Now, I'm willing to accept that the furry community is likely majority gay but when you make a game with both options and then lock one of them it says something negative about one of those two demographics regardless of how you spin it.

Edit Version 0.7.3
Still not getting any of the crashes or game breaking bugs that everyone else is but for some reason Sex scenes don't trigger outside the debug room anymore. You can get knocked over as much as you want but the enemies will just stand there until you get back up again.
For some reason the Stage end points are at the begining of each stage now. Events don't trigger right and those flies are just as annoying as ever as they fly just out of reach.
I don't know if I just didn't explore as much when i last played but there does seem to be more animations. Shame you can only trigger them in the debug room.

Despite what you have against the artist, the game itself, despite it's bugs which is to be expected with a unfinished game. The game has great animations, sounds and okayish platforming. I enjoy it, would recommend to not research the artist or check comments to enjoy this one ^^

This game is just another notch in the "NPCs are more than just a meme" belt. I saw a guy once arguing that this game was amazing, had stellar animations, and that he played it for the gameplay. Idk if it's a mental issue, or just the creator's cult of personality, but it's dumb af. Some things are objectively bad, and this game is one of them.

(v0.6.3)
Controls feel stiff but it's nice you can single hand most of it. Very poorly optimized: massive stutters even on high end gaming computers. Sometimes all it takes to make the game struggle for air is the defeat of a single wasp enemy or a character about to start up dialog. Characters get stuck on terrain and their sprites can get stuck flipped upside down or even at a weird diagonal angle.
All of this could improve as builds go on but even then the only part of this that shows any real potential are the animations and those are so limited right now that it's not worth waiting for the download to finish. Even if everything worked as intended the game elements wouldn't contribute to the enjoyment of the porn or even be fun on their own.

English isn't my native language.
OK. this review is for Bare Backstreets [v0.6.3]
I'm rating the game, not the developer.
1st thing the game is protected by a password (you can still play without it but you are going to miss some stuff).

short\ the game itself is a platforming beat'em game where you can only jump and punch 10 types of enemies which all of them can't do shit when you start punching, but with a twist, you are lagging as fuck.

Long\

Gameplay\ you choose a hero from 2 (one male and female (female needs the password I spoke of earlier)) then the game throw you into random stages where your main goal is to reach the other end of the stage, you find enemies along the way which you can ignore them most of the time.
as for controls you can jump, dash, punch... nothing more, which by itself is severely lacking.
when you want to fight an enemy just keep pressing punch key because ALL of them will die this way.
Low enemy variation duo to most of them are melee (8/10 implemented enemies are melee) who walk to you or stand their place just to be punched.
the worst part of the game at the current build is LAG.
I have a beefy laptop that runs cyberpunk 2077 at maximum ray tracing graphic setting, but OMG this game lags so horrible, I closed the game twice because I thought it was some malware or something happening in the background.
also sometimes you feel that your hero (playable character) is not interacting probably with enemies or objects, you punch the enemy, and the punch should've landed, but he didn't respond and keep walking like something never happens, sometimes its the opposite, he punch you but you don't receive any damage.

sounds and music\ the game have ok music in-game, some voices here and there, but it's not that impressive.

Animation and graphics (not the sexual content)\ one of the most impotent factors in animation is to be constant eye-appealing animation, which is not achieved because the goddam, otherwise it's good.
the environment itself is lacking.

Sexual content\ ammm,, average at best, the game offers you 1-2 animation per enemy (12 in total), some of those animation changes (small changes) based on the chosen hero. (can be gay if you choose male or straight if you choose female).
it also lacks events. and because of the lack of enemy variations, the game is not offering a lot, also you find all of the monsters at 1st stage which means beyond the 1st stage, you won't find anything new.
Due to the nature of the game, where there are enemies everywhere.. why there is no gangbang or threesome?

Plot\ I couldn't find any in-game plots..

conclusion\ the game at the current build is not good, mainly because it wants to deliver an action side scroller focused game, without caring about how to achieve this, for a start the lag problem should be fixed, because the game on average Pc is unplayable, 2nd more optimization should be done, then adding at least a plot, I can't have fun because I'm walking in random stages fighting enemies without a reason, adding more details to the environment is level up.

dear developer, at this date you already have $7,700 income from your patrons, so consider removing your game protection codes which is the reason why the game is laggy as hell and unplayable and start optimization your game, your game concept, or art will be copied sooner or later, but at least make people remember the game.

Gameplay is terrible, same level of quality as those old shitty flash sidescrollers, but even buggier, and it is some how, runs incredibly slowly even with a beefy computer, almost feels as if it's just a Bitcoin miner.

Art is nice tho.

I'm not even able to play this because it crashes every time I start a map. The older versions weren't very stable either, with FPS drops all the time even on low graphics. Personally it's a very meh game, but it's not finished yet so let's hope and improve with future updates.

Pretty cool game. Very buggy though and need a lot of fixes. Dev progress is slow and it is behind a wanna-be paywall.

Animations are very nice and i think the controls are good. The controls and the way the game played used to be very clunky but i think it plays fairly good now. The game does not have a lot of content as it is for now but that will change in the future. Hopefully the devs start releasing content and fixes faster since they are pretty slow. (but hey- i don't know nothin about game development)

Atm the game is very buggy and crashes very often. Hopefully the new dev will stary fixing this pile of spaghetti.

I wanted to try this game to see if it was worth it to support the creator on Patreon.

First thing first, it's barely launched and there's already a paywall. Wow. But let's ignore that.

I have no idea if it is incredible laggy or if the characters move like old Russian tanks. My PC isn't a beast but many other unity games I've found here run without a single problem so whatever it is, it's the game. It's buggy as well: inputs do not register, platforms are there, then not there, then there again and hitboxes? What are those?

There is a problem with the sound, there's a problem with the keybinding, there are probably other problems that I did not bother to look for.

The art isn't bad but seriously? It's nothing exceptional and while I didn't browse the entire furry section on this here website, I can tell you you'll find better.

Reading the comments, it seems like the creator is an asshole. I'm not surprised that this game is shit, then.

Ok so before I start the bad, here's some good.

THE GOOD: They fixed a lot of the game breaking bugs and added some cool new stuff so the're going in the right direction

THE BAD: But also a step back, You can only play as Vergence (the guy) and Genesis (the girl) is now locked behind a Patreon support wall, which would be completely fine if the other 2 unreleased characters were behind it. As I am straight, removing the female character to play as, with most to all enemies being male its pretty off putting now but their is a work around for it so all is not lost, still not a good move if you want to get both sides of the spectrum to play the game. Lastly still not enough content to be that fun. It's really a 2.5/5 stars for me.

Handles like a 13-year old's first attempt at a flash game, despite looking flashy with sprites.
Sound equalization is an absolute joke, it switches from "Destroy your brand new headphones" to "Muted" with no in-between, and sliding the bar down just keeps it in the former range the whole way. Even with EVERYTHING on the lowest possible setting starting a map is accompanied by an eardrum shattering gunshot.

And the cherry on top of the cake: You have to log-in, either with Patreon or SubscribeStar, and automatically if you try with Patreon it'll try to auto-sub to Jasonafex. So yeah this is flashy garbage.

WTF is going on with the development of this game, the second coder cleaned up so much shit from the game when version 0.4 launched, now it got so much worse with nothing to justify it, there was no significant amount of content added to the game to justify such shit performance, the gameplay isn't that much different either, my guess is the anti piracy stuff they are shoving into the game that causing all of this.

Well well, i tryed it and cant say its good at all, it lacks a lot of things but since its a "0.X" version its understandable, why i dislike it that much then? Its not really enjoyable at gameplaying right now, clunky fighting, the character hits pretty slow and feels like its not animated at all. Not intuitive at all, first playthrough i see a lot of keys and chests, i dont know if they can be opened or not yet since i tryed all the keys, when you get raped you end up in a minigame that its not clear at all about what you have to do to get away from the situation, the only good thing i can point about its the sex animations, they feel quite decent (but was able to find only one cuz the bees dont do anything), better than a lot of games i tryed.

Still a looooong way to go.

It was buggy during it's first ever release, it's still buggy now. Barely any progress has come of this while there's other games out there finishing up their storylines and chucking out updates like a man chucks out specimen during an orgy.

What was even the point of this game? It's literally just crappy platforming, a little bit of meh porn, and then the next level. It's as Frank Drebin once said: It's like having sex. It's a painstaking and arduous task that seems to go on and on forever, and just when you think things are going your way, nothing happens.

Let's ignore how horrible the developer is as a person and focus on the game itself.

It's as cancerous as the developer who made it.

For a furry porn game, the art is actually not too bad, especially looking at alternatives. That being said, it plays worse than almost anything else due to the fact that 90% of the game is comprised of bugs. I've played the public versions and Patreon versions, and they're equally plagued with game breaking bugs.

You frequently are unable to open chests, even when you have the keys. This pales in comparison to how often you'll get stuck mid air after a jump. While using the female character, this happens almost every single time you jump. This makes the game genuinely unplayable, especially if you're not wanting gay content.

Bugs aside, there are almost no animations within the game, the combat is minimal and bland, and above all else...there's nothing to do! You can hit enemies, get fucked, and if you're insanely lucky...open a chest. They have mimics in the game now (Chests that will grab you and activate a porn scene), but you can't even access them since the chests don't work!

All in all, horrible game made by a horrible developer. Pretty fitting, honestly.
