I have just recently played through Shadow of the Colossus, and I can easily say it's one of the best games of all time! You managed to suggest the colossal feel of these Golems, and made a great game :D. If I were to be nitpicky, I'd suggest some more movement on the golem's part, but otherwise, great game!
I think this game was pretty good although it can be improved a lot. 4/5. As a sort of mini-walkthrough: fight ONLY what you have to, unless you can 1-hit it. Don't take risks, as soon as your health is low, use the wings, even if you're on a floor with 5 artefacts. Always have at least 1k-2k gold when you use the wings, that way you can buy a potion and a weapon when you restart. Finally, the end boss is very weak, you need like 1 large health potion to beat him, and that's used after killing the smaller baddies before him, so don't worry about him, you can easily beat the game after you restart at floors 39/49, the game is relatively easy after that.
This game easily deserved 5 stars, since it's actually a lot of fun, but like 3/4 of the other comments out there, I too consider that Kreds are really ruining this site. Look up there! It says "X online playing Y FREE games! and it's in all caps! and it has an exclamation mark at the end! Well this goes against it, doesn't it?...1* for the Kreds...
I kept getting ~350k until I realized that I kept doing high jumps even when not necesarry. It's important to only do high jumps when you need them, to catch as much air traffic as possible(and as fast as possible) and to do many small jumps, as it's important not to miss to many sea items. Using this strategy I got ~500k on my first try and over 400k before the UFO :D
Well, that's finally over. I can say this game borders on perfection, it's full of action, it has nice graphics and effects and is only mildly laggy. What I don't like though is the endless grinding, and the 3/4-of-the-screen-taking-bosses, with ludicrous ammounts of health (Entity :( ). Speaking of which, to beat entity, you only really need two items: a lot of energy packs, and the reflective shield skill. Just reflect Entity's orbs back at it till it dies, it should only take a few minutes, and use energy packs when your energy is getting low. I managed to beat Entity with less than 10 packs and LIII shield skill. :D
Had some hard time with the badges not awarding initially, but they worked after. The hard 8 minute badge is pretty easy, just do a run before than and mark mentally where you need to go, maybe even make a map on paper if you feel like it. I got it in 6:46 and died several random deaths, so it's not too bad.
Really great game. Awesome graphics, and incredibly cute squeezy cat physics :D hope for a sequel! Oh, one thing that bugged me was the cannon, it's pretty large, and it's a bit hard to use if you need accuracy. Regardless, 5/5
@NeilSenna: I got 3* by avoiding getting hit/only getting lightly damaged. If that's time related, I suggest you use the big laser + high caliber cannon.
@fodman10: It does just what it says, gives you a lot of extra XP/unit killed BUT leaves you at 1hp. It's required to get some of the medals.
I'm sorry, but I have to rate this 1 star. First time I've played it, I finished like 2/3 and saved. When I came back, my progress was gone. Now, I restarted and finished it. Not only did it not award my badge, but my progress got erased again! This is really uncool :(
