Well.
I want to like this.
It's got an interesting idea.
It has snazzy graphics, good sound effects and over all, I like the way the game feels.
However.. .and this is a big one.... It lags like a *****. I got hung up on the time limit level because my the frame rate kept jumping back and forth. Made it impossibly to get timing down right :( I suspect this is due to the number of moving things on the screen at once... while part of the atmosphere a 'low quality' or "Steady background' option would be VERY welcome.
Also, as a more minor quibble: He sas touse arrow keys... which means to use wasd. ... those are not natural for all gamers and I've known some gamers who absolutly refuse to use wasd, and a few others who are unfamilar with their use.... I dunno what the best solution there is, but food for thought.
Best addition to this game you could do: on the 'try again' 'submit score' screen, let the space bar automatically select 'try again'. Since some people will want to submit score instead, add a confirmation screen (try again? ...this will erase your score, do you really wanna do that? Okay, press start to play.) ... this way the truly lazy of us can just hit space bar a few times to start over, while others can mouse click :)
AWESOME game, BTW :D
Also, I didnt' get credit for any of the 'eye of' artifacts I got... maybe because I didn't escape with them.
Also, what kinda sick joke is it that when I restart, I"m sitting on level 79, with a cloth shirt, some old dusty boots and a puny dagger? I went down hit a dragon for 3 damage.... I guess I have to clear my data to really start over....
Sigh. There I was... level 85... plowing along happily with a sack full of potions.. utterly unstoppable.. and... and.. the damed cat jumped up, bumped my hand, make me step sideways into a golem... and ... poof. no more adventurer. ...serves me right for letting my HP get so low I guess... :(
This was beautiful. to the people who complain about this not being deep, or boring or stuff? I'm sorry. This game is not for you. To everyone else: this.. was beautiful.
Inspired by upgrade complete... ha! When I read that I worried... I didn't really enjoy that game all that much..... but you proved me very wrong :) Indeed, this is INSPIRED by a different game.... the concept taken and ran with.... this is a beautiful, wonderful game. :) My only 'wishes' would be for a map (but that may defeat the purpose..)... and for the game to be longer! The ending kind of took me by surprise....
but I love the 100% ending! VERY worth it and very hopeful! I'll be watching you! :) I look forward to your next work :D
the 'hard' achivement isn't hard... it's impoosible!
What a fun game! I can't get past level 7 because my brain so enjoys making up words that are not real when presented with a random selection of letters. XD
ehm... not too bad.. good basic point and click.. not very complex though. The lens trick was nice..
Hmm.. I don't know.. it was missing something for me.
Maybe it was the jumps in logic, combined with it being totally straight forward in others? (what I mean is... how did the combo for the lock get to the place it was? yet in other places, , it's no brained. :) ) Or maybe it was the lack of... oomph had by the ending. (I mean.. we have no reason to dislike the rabbit outside of alice's note. Why should we care where he is and what he's doing?)
well, I enjoyed it anyway: a few other crits: There were a few typos... and the cursor... well,, instead of being jsut a white ot, how about a white dot with a black border? I lost it when I put it over anything white. :)
looking forward to more, anyway! :D I've been far worse and you've got a NICE idea here. Polish comes with time and experience!
Frustrating :( It almost seems random how things fall.. one or two pixels makes far too much difference. and it amkes the walk through nearly useless. I've been plugging away at level 11 for the past 10 minutes trying to set the charges exactly where the walk through said to and every time, one or two food over the demo line. So sad...
An enjoyable 3 minutes. :)
Suggestions:
Make it different each time. :D
More levels! You've got a nice concept here... just make it last longer then three minutes. :D
also the hint button? TOO much of a hint there. :(
I'ts nice, it's fun.. but it's missing something. What it's missing I"m not sure but whatever 'something' is, i'ts not there :/ Perhaps it's too difficult? I'm sure some would say this was easy, and perhaps it is (I had cats crawling on me while I was playing, lol) but some sort of scaling difficulty might be nice.
Also, a 'completed one stage, clikc to start the next' screen would be nice.
not bad. :) I feel like the hit boxes are a bit off... and that the graphics could use a redo to make things a bit easier on the eyes, but all in all, this is a very sound game premise! :D
Feh. This is a spot the difference game. As far as that goes, this is a very NICE spot the difference game. It is short, it is sweet. The pictures tell a story and have a delightful art style, and someone obviously took a lot of time to make the images and time was spent editing the differences in. There background music was pleasant and suited to the game... though I might have enjoyed seeing another track or two.. Perhaps a 'darker, danger' track for the "scary" scenes. :) I give this game a 5 because it is a fantastic iteration on a spot the diff game. :) Never mind how I may feel about this type of game, the game was well executed. :D
reko - don't think saying why you didn't like it is trolling. Just be nice about it, say what you DID like if it helps. ;p not a bad game... short... hated that I lost all of my points when I died... but i really would have liked to have seen more... progression. we were introduced to one new virus the whole game.. and that was really early on. you didn't noticably grow bigger or anything... if it HAD been longer, I would have been disgruntled because of the lak of pregression and the repetativenes. Very pretty though. awesome music, too.
Here's a paraphrased walkthrough - #1: pull door, remove pants, sit toilet, shit. #2: remove pants, shit. #3: shit. (sweet and simple) #4: pull door, sit toilet, shit. #5: die (also: Kill). #6: fart lightly, 'take pills' ... Then wait til the timer runs out. #7: After doing 6, wait a few more moments on the victory screen. :) #8: Rather then typing play, type "shit". #9: 'pull door' and wait. #10: Collect all of the other poopy endings. :) Please repost this, rather then the other one. Here is the list of Easter eggs/other endings: A) remove pants, die B) Fart C) Fart lightly, Fart lightly (yes, twice.) D). Type 'look'--this is listed as an easter egg, because not everyone has played a text adventure before. :) E) Break Door F) type: Don't shit your pants. ~~~ If you find another one, please feel free to add it to the bottom of the list! Happy shitting!
Awesome game. The disappearing big parts bug is still there though... HERE'S HOW I BEAT THE BUG! I bought, or upgraded something EVERY time I was at the build-a-ship screen. Even if that meant holding onto extra money that I could have used to buy an upgrade... After I started doing that, I didn't lose my parts again. :)
fun game! I wish it had been ab it longer, but it was an AWESOME way to spend some time and feel satisfied :D
It's... functional! :) And y'know what? that's a good start! I don't know too much about making games, but... you've got the sprite walking, jumping, you've got it understanding what the ground is, and you had an event happen. That's a fantastic start. :)
Keep at it! you know what a game needs... (enemies, more levels, etc).. but don't sacrifice quality for quantity.
Suggestions: make the background on the starting screen a less intense shade of red. Your shyguy blends in, and it's a bit strenuous on the eyes.
For in game graphics, try using thinner outlines on objects Perhaps also using a sharp-cornered rectangle rather then a rounded corner. Perhaps. Also, recommend a color other then red--perhaps a shade of brown instead? you can use a light shade of blue in the background then and have a very rough background. It'd help with your 'polish' quite a bit.
Good job and keep at it! Don't let the grumbly people keep you down. :)
