Under rating threshold (show) Absolutely fantastic. Talk about having to need a good grip on spacial relations. I love the scattered puzzle feel, having to watch all the pieces as you hop around to find out where it all fits, being upside down one moment and sideways the next. Well done!

Under rating threshold (show) Its a nice game, but I would have liked to hear the poem all in one go at the end, rather than only as fragmented peices.

Under rating threshold (show) Such a great game! It's spatial reasoning aspect made it a nice refreshing change to the average platform game. The story fragments were a real clever addition and made the title "Fractured" even more validated and added a sort of reward for solving the puzzle. The story was short, yet held such emotion! One of my favorite games! 5/5

Under rating threshold (show) SPOILER!!!! I hope an pray that I will find the child that I have left behind. For as I hear the madness gloat, a frightened scream rips from my throat. A childs love with blind ambition, against my panicked admonition. Into the heart of evil's lair, I battle on without despair. And search and wander as I might, I see no ending to my plight. There is no point in searching more, for I'm the one he's searching for. Beautiful.

Under rating threshold (show) Great refreshing new mechanic for a platformer! The only thing that bugged me a bit is that it seems that you recorded the poem in individual sound files, one for each level, rather than recording it all in one go and splitting it from there. The poem loses the flow it should have, and thus, a lot of the beauty of the rhythm and sound of the poem is lost. Even if it's done deliberately as part of the Fractured metaphor, I submit that the game loses little by redoing the recording for those lines of poetry, but gains so much beauty.

+ - !

F (7)

Developer response from GroZZleR

They were indeed done as separate takes. I really like how disjointed it becomes. Every line has its own little inflection and meaning completely different from the last. I'm glad you picked up on that; very keen.

Under rating threshold (show) I rarely feel the need to comment on games, but what you've created here is simply a work of art. Beautiful looking artwork with perfectly fitting sounds and music. Whoever did the voice acting for telling the story did a wonderful job as well. At first I found myself mildly frustrated by the disorientation of transitioning upside down, but after adjusting to it this game become apparent to be a much needed relaxing breath of fresh air in an era of overtly saturated genres. Simple design, yet extremely elegant. Thank you for this masterpiece. I look forward to seeing what create in the future.

Under rating threshold (show) I enjoy the concepts (both gameplay and narrative) a great deal. I was able to find my way around by either analyzing the shapes of the pieces or occasionally by simply dancing on the edge of my current piece until I figured out where it connected -- and there's something to be said for the image of a boy whose world has literally been shattered trying to find his mother. The music suits it, the sound syncs up well, and the graphics are nicely done. On a mechanical level, the game handles nicely, though the ceilings have an obnoxious habit of hanging too low and cutting off my jumps. 4 Stars, and I'll be watching you.

Developer response from GroZZleR

Thanks. Hitting your hit is definitely annoying. That's a problem with Flash games some times, I had to make the world 500x500 to fit inside a 600x600 Flash window. If I could've made the screen bigger, a lot more would have been possible. Thanks for playing.

Under rating threshold (show) Very clever! It's been a while since I've seen a NEW idea. You not only have one, but you've executed it quite well. In the second or third bonus round, I was a little put off by the jump that you can only make if you walk out to nearly the last pixel before jumping, well past where intuition says you should have fallen. Other than that, I really like the game. I love the ones where just jumping around won't get you there, you really have to figure it all out.

Under rating threshold (show) That was pretty neat. I think it's interesting when you finish each level and the pieces sit themselves together, and as it turns out, it would have been an insanely easy task had they been oriented right in the first place. Scattering the pieces like that makes things a lot harder than you would think. Good work, man.
