This is a great game except for two little issues, one directly connected to the other. One: Combos ending because you couldn't collect the coin in time. Which leads to the second which is, in summary: Oh, yeah, I'll just jump through a laser, into five bullets, two missiles, and onto this mine in order to collect that coin, no problem!
HOLY JESUS CHRIST ON A POGO STICK. The Twelve Days of Christmas is just painful! Don't know about the rest of you all, but that dang thing had about 3/4 of its notes off by so much I felt like I should've just turned the sound off!
@wpatter6: Don't forget being okay with me blowing up stuff five feet from them so long as it doesn't actually destroy their home. No noise ordinance in these neighbourhoods!
It's a beautiful start. Simple concept, no fake difficulty, just puzzles and buttons. There's two problems: First, the puzzles are too easy. I was just starting to have a little difficulty at the end there. Second, it's way too short. This could be an amazing game if there was more to it. I'm giving it 5/5, but go for more! That is, if you can do it without adding any fake difficulty to the mix. Be true to the spirits of gaming!
I just managed the x5 badge. Took... a long time. And several years of coming back again and again. You want to know what became the issue shortly after reaching x5? That minigame where you're supposed to keep falling? Well, at higher speeds, the collision detection... half-dies. I wound up going from x5.2 to halfway through x5.8 while intentionally TRYING TO FAIL. It just kept falling through the bars! While this game is alright, it gets frustrating fast, and even when you reach your goal and win, it gets still MORE FRUSTRATING! There's no 'FINALLY! I win!' There's 'WOULD YOU JUST END ALREADY SO THE SCORE WILL SUBMIT?!'
You've saved the kingdom and defeated the big bad and you are awesome! Here's 50 gold! ... Why? You can't use it to do much of anything anyway, you say? ... *Throws the money at you and cues the ending cutscene*
@jump3605: Do you have your sound on? There's a fair length of time in the 'ending' where there is a black screen and only sound. You may just be impatient and seconds away from getting the achievement.
This isn't a puzzle game. This is a 'keep on restarting until you hit the exact correct pixel for every click' game. Also known as a 'really, really, REALLY fake difficulty' game. Also known as a "No, I hate you, don't do this again' game.
I think that took all of five minutes. The most touching and thought-provoking five minutes of the past several months. I'd wish this was a feature-length production, if I didn't already know that you can't make it bigger. It's perfect just as it is. Any more or less would be an insult to the game, the story, the characters, the sacrifice... all of it.
You... you're serious..? You can LEVEL UP INSTANTLY FOR KREDS. WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH THIS GAME?!
It's confusing beyond comprehension, it's completely pointless and has just about zero player interaction, and it's absolutely a waste of time! DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME.
*Sends ship out for a 56 chest deal at 99/chest in a risky port WITH a bribe card!* ... *Ship gets halfway there* ... *Ship gets three quarters of the way there* ... *BRIBE CARD NO LONGER WORKS HAHA* *SHIP GETS CAUGHT*
I have every single treasure. The badge for finding 30 treasures has said 1 treasure for the entire game. I've killed the boss. Twice, just to be sure. This is a problem.
So I'm playing as the pegasus, flying around, being badass, when I remember there's a part of this level that had a really rare and powerful unit in it last time. I fly up there, just killing the thing really quickly, just wanting the unlock and not the- ... "Baby Girl unlocked!" ... "Attacks: None, none, none. Speed: Slow." ... I just killed a defenseless baby girl. Well... In other news, I can beat levels with a shit blob! (ACTUAL UNIT)
Oh christ that pisses me off. getting combo, getting combo, getting combo, killed two of the three guys I'm combo-ing on, one of them drops a health boost and I pick it up... 29 combo, and THE HEALING BROKE MY COMBO. I WAS ONE AWAY FROM THE BADGE.
