Apple Slash

Well this has simply been one of the worse things I've played in a while. Apple Slash should take about 30 minutes. I think I got close to the end, but couldn't even make it through that.
It has very basic pixel art with a black, white, and red color scheme, and even more basic combat, letting you swing your massive sword without any cooldown in front of you, killing most things instantly. You get ranged attacks about halfway through, allowing you to kill things instantly even at a distance. There aren't any puzzles to speak of, so the "gameplay" is just navigating through the map while spamming attack.
There's some, humor, I think? At least I think it wants to be humorous, as you meet some characters along the way, and they have silly names, and say and do silly things, but it's really not entertaining. I think there's a story? I don't know what it is, even though I didn't skip any dialogue.

Eh, I think someone just wanted to make a game, and so they made this small thing. There's barely anything in here, but for what I assume is a solo project, it's okay work. It's polished and cohesive, even if what it is isn't any good. Good on the developer. I do not understand the positive reviews, however, and I most definitely don't recommend playing this.
