I was enjoying this game until the final level. Which I expected to be hard, but not because of scenery blocking the camera. That was a severe letdown. Still, the game was passable beyond that. 3/5.
It's not necessarily a bad game, but it does have some limitations. In a lot of the stages, there were pieces that were either really large or locked into place, prohibiting other solutions from appearing possible and leaving little mystery as to how the level was intended to be completed. It played like that up until about Lv. 20, where it went from insultingly straightforward to downright mind-boggling in an instant. Like I said, it's not a great game, but I still appreciate the effort to try to create a puzzle game based on a new concept and different method of execution. 3/5 for being admirable.
Honestly, the only compliment I can give this game is that it's inexplicably better than the sequel. This game truly is crap -- it takes everything that is typically loved and appreciated about fantasy RPGs by giving it a ridiculously strict stress meter, a dull-as-dirt fighting engine and a protagonist who evidently has no depth perception whatsoever. I have two questions about this game. 1: How in the name of Larry did you manage to make a sequel out of this crap, and 2: How is it that you managed to make the sequel even worse?
You made SHIFT the high-jump button? Not S, the button you already had us pressing with the yellow form anyway, but SHIFT?!! Try holding down on the shift, A, W and D keys all at once you twit! Does that feel like loose, comfortable gameplay to you?!! This is beyond bad. This is DELIBERATELY bad (which would explain why the controls can't be reassigned). If you're smart enough to program a non-penis-themed video game, you can't possibly be so dumb that you thought that control setup WITH NO REASSIGNING OPTIONS was a good idea! To say "you fail epically" would be a mother of an understatement. This is a mound of B.S. even Sarah Palin would be hard-pressed to exceed.
Do you know what this game needs more than anything? I mean REALLY more than anything? CUSTOMIZABLE CONTROLS!!! Because the crap setup you have expects us to be bloody contortionists. Try it with me: place your left hand on the AWD keys, then, without taking your fingers off of those keys, press the R button. Now, leaving your left hand on the directionals, place your right hand on the JKL keys, and without leaving them, hit the space bar. Do you see why this is so aggravating? And what's even worse about it is that you gave different keys to different techniques even though they can't be used at the same time anyway. Unless your goal was to MAKE this game more confusing to play, it's completely pointless. Which is a damn shame, because this game looks like it could be really good, but in its present state, it's an aggravation AT BEST. Fix it you moron and MAYBE I'll amend my 1/5.
Gawd, no wonder this game has some of the least acquired badges on Kongregate. You took a great concept like the "Shift" series and then took a diarrhea-dump all over it by giving being a damn Nazi about the controls and imposing a ridiculous time limit. Don't screw with a good thing Armor Games. Why do I need to keep telling you that?
Note: You do not use the same bottle that contained the wine to contain the potion. The bottle you need to contain the potion of the drowned can be seen when you talk to the innkeeper in the top right corner. All the other items are straightforward enough.
The glasses were a nice touch, but there's too many areas where the game is sensitive to the point of being aggravating, the part with the crowbar being a primary example of such. The glasses, I have to say, were an interesting touch, however, so while I think it was executed poorly, I have to applaud the idea.
You know, not to take anything away from the game, but just using the "click here for solution" button as a bait-and-switch alone for your website yields an AUTOMATIC 1/5. If your website is so crap that you need to TRICK people into visiting it, you are pathetic beyond redemption, and a decent game like this does not change such.
You really shouldn't have included dactyl jumping as an accomplishment. Those things are ridiculously sadistic when it comes to chaining -- they have a tendency to drop you at random times (often at inopportune locations), whichever one I jump on always goes to fly straight at the bottom of the pack, and at times I've even observed my dinosaur jumping from one dactyl STRAIGHT THROUGH another one. "Impossible" badge is right -- as long as that (and many other) gameplay mechanisms are broken, it shall be.
Hey, I got an idea. Lets make our PC character look like Rambo even though he's the most fragile in the history of gaming. Lets make it a matter of utmost timing and precision but stick them with that move-with-the-directionals-and-shoot-with-the-mouse control setup that everyone hates and yet we continue to use in everything we create. Lets make the timed explosives and the remote explosives look almost identical. And lets just insist that everyone who points these things out to us is a sore loser and make the next game even more horrible than this one. 1/5 you miserable sack.
Laggy, choppy, confusing sack of shyte! This game is wretched -- the ABSOLUTE WORST! And that's even counting the games Kongregate is so embarrassed by they won't even give badges to. This doesn't even look like a real game -- it looks like one of those flash files you see on DeviantArt where the creator is just impressed that it actually has moving controls. This is shyte! This is utter, utter SHYTE!!!
How many of those damn blimps do you need to take out in the last round? Was this game really such a bother that you couldn't even be hassled to give us some kind of indication as to what we need to do to advance? This game reeks of laziness. It's a funny (albeit immature) concept that you did apparently set out to do as little possible with.
Jebus notDoppler, is there really any shortage of "fly yea far to win" games? And the worst part is that, of all the games of that type that I've seen on Kongregate, this is the worst. It's slow, sluggish and boring.
"Based on Newton's law," huh? Then what's your excuse for letting the CPU completely ignore said law by remaining completely stationary while they knock the crap out of you? Screw that. 1/5.
@craftsman465 What would you prefer I do? Say "u suk 1/5" so the prick who made this game (in five minutes by the look of it) can just say "heheh sore looza?" And what the hell do you mean why did I comment if the game sucks so much? THAT'S WHY I'M COMMENTING!!! I don't believe in blowing smoke up the pants of every useless oxygen thief who fancies himself a gamer in the hopes of getting some free crap out of it -- if you make crap, I'll tell you it's crap. And this game is such crap that I shouldn't need to tell him such -- if somebody needs to TELL HIM that the complete lack of camera control is a bad thing, that his walking directional controls are utter crap when they would have been better if simplified, or that assigning the enemies to different teams when they're all going to team up against you anyway was a waste of time, he belongs in a bloody institution. This game is bad and he should damn well know it. End of story.
This isn't the worst game I've ever played on Kongregate, but it is one of the most DELIBERATELY bad games I've ever played. Everything wrong with this game should have been a no-brainer, and yet it was still included. You ought to be ashamed of yourself for considering this P.O.S. a finished product, and Kongregate should be ashamed for giving this thing badges when there are so many other games that are ten times better on the site that nobody even knows are there. This is the last FunkyPear game I ever play in my life.
