Player Comments on Koi Koi!
I'm going to be quite honest, I do not how to play Koi Koi! And I did at first give it a try at the easiest difficulty option available, but then I found myself having greater interest in the story that was beneath this game. I can tell that much work in variables and the like went into this story-game, and it certainly makes it one of the very unique ones on this site. There's a very technical game that can be played here, with colorful vivid card images, as well as dialogue that is present in the very story itself.
Koi Koi! I can say it's a story that gets many things right at the end of the day. This is a game that is very accessible for many potential types of readers. If one wants a balanced challenge, that's available. If one wants a fierce challenge that really tests them, that's also there. Oh, and if there's someone who simply finds themselves curious of the story? There's no shortage of an interesting cast of characters that our 'hero' will meet on his journey. I've played casually, in the sense that there was really only story for my experience, but even the story seems to have plentiful work placed into it to make it a memorable and fun one.
One thing I personally enjoyed is the differences that are present when one goes through the story, and then goes through another time in a different unlocked scenario. I don't how Killa_Robot pulls it off, but reading through this a second time, and seeing the changes that are added into things certainly felt very rewarding, and it was certainly appreciated.
What's present in this story-game is a rather remarkable grasp on how deep the depths of the editor can go. It certainly must have been a bit of a painstaking ordeal to keep the framework of this story-game to be as strong as it is, but it is so well done and crafted. At first, I thought it would be intimidating to try and get into this, but Killa_Robot does more than his fair share of work in making them very far from the case.
This is certainly worth any amount of time that a reader might find themselves spending on it. There's a story with a surprising amount more depth that I intentionally thought that it would have at first glance, but it's a story that I found to be quite entertaining. It's quite "anime-like" in the way it is told, and I just happen to not be an individual that is turned away from such things. Besides that, the story is quite the interesting adventure with some genuinely humorous, as well as surprising and shocking moments.
I don't think I could possibly recommend it anymore than I have already, but this is incredible work.
Great job, Killa_Robot.

I have no idea how to play Koi Koi, and the rules seem too god dang complicated, but the scripting for this must have been insane. I am in awe.

this was nice
and it's not a big deal, but you're not supposed to say "nod your head". the head is the only part of you that can be nodded.
also, towards the middle, the storygame felt kind of bland. i'm not sure if that was what you intended to match the rest of the dull and repetitive japanese pokemon style stories, but at any rate you failed, since this was actually interesting for the most part.

Wish I was better at the Koi Koi haha, which is a nice pastime between the story. Going back after beating it for the true ending is also certainly worth the time!
