It seems like most game developers today think that when you have to choose between "complex" and "fun/good", you should go for the first. This one here's an exception. Very well done job! 5/5 (PERFECT challenge level, by the way... even if it will take me some time to get that hard badge)
"This game has 400 achievements, 10 rooms, 650 pellets, 10 hamsters, 250 coins, 1765 blocks and one really grumpy hamster (guinea pig?)." Add all that up and that's the number of bugs. (my game had much more than 10 hamsters, btw)
Maybe also slightly increasing speed along the run (maybe it does already), and maybe some thorny/tentacly walls with holes you have to go through, not touching its borders. These also increases difficulty of jumps and forces the player to calculate how high they should jump. Well, hope it helps! =)
I disagree about jump height. You should be able to control jump height with how much you hold jump button.
I almost beat the game (easy mode) in one go. I only didn't because I stupidly failed one jump just short of the end (it wasn't a hard jump at all). But when I started over, my jump height was so high it made it really hard to jump over the first holes, but it got easier as I progressed! I mean, you can't really expect it to get EASIER as you progress through a level nor HARDER as you get xp and level up, right?
Wanna get away from "only double jump needed"? Larger plataforms won't do the trick. Instead, try putting really small plataforms in the middle of really large holes, or maybe something lime TT__TT__________TT would force you to single jump then double jump.
I lost 3 achievements (safe spots F and G, as well as all coins in test room) because the game didn't compute it when I got them. Subsequently, I can't get 98% and 99% achievements and I'll have to settle for 395 achievements =/ these bugs are a shame because the game could've been the better of the series... down from 5/5 to 3/5
Is anyone else getting a bug when making those large pastries? At least at the hamster room, the screen shakes but doesn't go back to where it's supposed to be... And now I can barely see anything
It was a bit easy (but not too much). Could have something a par time or par # of pieces of wood used. Other than that, this game is great! I just loooooooved the start screen and was kinda hypnotized by it ;)
Wow, congratulations on the absolutely great improvements since last game! Really, it's clear how much effort you put into it and how much feedback you've taken into consideration before making this... Respekt!
Something should happen either when you get all 1st and/or when you get all awards. I had all 1st places and my only award left was to get 50k. I raced some pointless races to get there, and for what? That aside, great game, I had lots of fun!
For those complaining about inconsistencies and anachronisms: "Games must be fun to play. Sure, we like pretty graphics and a good plot, but the fun's the main thing. If they're fun, a lot of incongruities can be forgiven. Go ahead, try to explain why the yellow circle loves dots and why the ghosts are out to get him, or why the frog needs to get across the road. You can explain why but it doesn't matter. The purpose of the game was to have fun in the first place."... And this game IS lots of fun!
"No signs of life in Madagascar"... It's been some years since I've been wanting to read this! And it was nerve-wrecking reading "Madagascar closed all its borders", and then I saw that last ship going in against local law. They were probably trying to get to a safe place, the president of Madagascar decided to open a make a really rare exception and let them in, since they probably couldn't change their route after this new border closing, now could they? Well, it was Madagascar's doom and I FINALLY got my badge! All thanks to a cuban virus called InuYasha--who'd have thought?
I think you can get the hard badge either with shark gun or gauss rifle. The key to this badge is KEEPING UP SPEED! I personally used the shark gun and both large wheels (don't know if it's important, but why not say it?). I was at level 27 and had all upgrades. My strategy was pretty much spam the shark gun (in front of the car, further when it speeds up) while trying to get the ammo balloons. I used my spiked wheels only when I got stuck on those iron crate piles (sharks aren't that good against them when you're stuck). But in the end I still had only last spiked wheel when I got to 2400 m, so I just used it. I got my second weapon (rocket launcher) only after the 2500m mark, so I don't think you need to be lucky with it. I made to 2827 m, btw. Hope it helps!
