Kongregate: Play free games online

Apr. 29, 2010

Under rating threshold (show) Hey guys. Most importantly, we want to thank you for all the feedback. We never do anything that we think will upset the community, but we do sometimes miscalculate. When we played this game, we thought it was fun and didn't experience any of the bugs that have been brought up, so figured it would be a win for everyone all around. Though the game had a pretty high rating before badging it, it clearly hasn't turned out quite like we expected. :P Our community is hugely important to us, so after reading all your feedback we've decided to make some changes. Instead of the badges there will be 2 points challenges, for the same point values and game tasks as the original badges. People who earned the badges will lose the badge icon from their profile, but will be automatically awarded the corresponding points challenges, so won't lose any points. People who didn't earn the badges will be able to get the points by completing the challenges before they expire.

Under rating threshold (show) First off - levels, each one was basically a re-skinned version of the last one, with a few obstacles here and there that required you to use your 'element'. Same enemies, same traps, same repetitive gameplay (being able to control your character rather than having it auto-run would likely have eliminated the need for Rewind Time). Secondly - boss-fights, which consisted of the player dodging a few attacks while your special ability recharged, repeat x5. The only exceptions to this are the 5th (spawned a few enemies in between attacks) and 6th boss, which was a complete joke. You might as well have ended the game at level 5, given how ridiculously easy the boss is (all his attacks missed, there were no separate stages, and to top it off he's just a figure in the background...). That's about all there was to this game, aside from what passed for a story - 1/5

Under rating threshold (show) WHY oh why is this game badged? This game looks like some working project, it's mad buggy, glitchy and SOOO unfriendly. It's like someone added bosses to Cananbalt, but did this with no style. Right now I'm so pissed, because 4th stage boss got stuck in the small tunel, my respawn point. Doors shut behind me and now we can not attack each other. And guess what? Where is NO PAUSE MENU, so I need to restart the game and try again. Also, why the bloody hell time revinder is not limited? I can use it as many times as I want, which makes this game stupidly easy and boring, because there's no chance to really lose, unless you hit on a bug like I just did. No limited lifes? Full life restart after death? I rate it 1/5... For bugs, really lame story/dialogues and very poor game design.

Under rating threshold (show) This is not a game. This is a joke. If this were a game, Ubisoft would have put some actual effort into it. They could have done a lot to make an awesome game, even given the constraints of Flash. It's quite clear that "make a good game" was not on Ubisoft's priority list. Nor, in fact, was "make a passable game". What could their purpose be? Why did they bother? Marketing. This game is an ad. That's the only way I can explain how a company that has done such wonderful things with this franchise on consoles could have crapped out this massive pile of suck. But, well, it fails at that, too. This malodorous excretion does not impel me to buy Ubisoft games in the slightest.

Under rating threshold (show) This game is nothing more than a poorly re-hashed Canabalt with Prince of Persia Themes. The Controls feel horribly vague and awkward like they just threw buttons together. I think it would have been simpler to give player control and use WASD for Powerups (ala last level) with shift for the Sands, rather than having to play this game like I was inputting a Konami code. Secondly, "shifting" has a major offset bug where if you shift just before the end of a perch jump and alternating back/forth between can make your character have not only frame invulnerability but also elongate their jump by a full body length; letting you be able to simply sandspam your way to the boss in a matter of seconds. Great thinking there Ubisoft.

Under rating threshold (show) While I think some people are exaggerating the issues a bit just because the game was badged, I do have to agree that the controls felt far more awkward than they should have, especially for a game like this (they tried to cram way too much into too few buttons and I never got used to the layout). The boss fights were also pretty bland and at times it felt like traps were impossible to dodge without knowing about them in advance or having absolutely perfect timing (just because I *can* rewind time doesn't mean I should feel like I have to). Still, I did think the game at least had some interesting ideas, even if they weren't implemented as well as they could have been, and I did think it was fun at points even if it wasn't polished. 3/5

Under rating threshold (show) I guess I missed it when "run at constant speed thru a trap filled maze" became a genre. Some Notes to Designers: Do not change the function of keys during the game. Do not have a single key do two actions. Assign opposing actions to arrow key - not completely unrelated actions.

Under rating threshold (show) I don't understand where they TRYING to make it suck? Last time I saw a Advertising flash game it was GOOD and made me want to buy the game, not to run away from the game so fast that I would kill several people. This on the other hand, is horribly made Canabalt was good because it was new, this is a crappy remake that added an "attack" feature that is so impossible to time I merely mashed it as fast as I was the up button. Seeing on how the up button make you go over any thing including the gaps I FELL down, I ended up mashing it, AND WON. The game might has well be named "mash Up, and Space for five minuets until you get bored and quit". The only thing that actually killed me was the spikes which somehow instantly kill you unlike the guys with swords or the arrows which deal NO DAMAGE. I only quit after the first level because I was afraid I was going to break the keyboard. Oh and I was REALLY BORED. The only reason this game has badges is because Kongregate IS A SELL-OUT.

This beast charges too hard or something like that.=Dodge, hit, dodge, hit. Repeat. Second boss. It doesent like ice very much.= freeze, hit, dodge, freeze, hit, dodge. Repeat.

Under rating threshold (show) Kongregate is a business-model. They do not build and support a website just for our pleasure. They want to make some money. This game is obviously a commercial for the Prince of Persia-series. Ubisoft has proparbly paid to have it featured. Oh well, money for Kongregate means free games for me, so I'm all in favour. I'll still rate it 1/5, though, because even commercials can be crappy games.

Especially the boos battles. all you have to do is climb up the walls till your meter is chatrged up and then use your element.everything is reapeted over and over again. As wat other people said, you can use the rewind whenever even if your meter goes empty.it was also very laggy at times. Rubbish game man. 1/5 XD

Under rating threshold (show) I am going to ignore this game; Pretend it does not exist. I do this to keep my overall opinion of Ubisoft higher than this steaming pile of dog @#$% would bring it to if it ever existed. I did this for the Matrix (which also never had a sequel of any kind =P) which allows me to watch the original from time to time and still appreciate it. I will not let this horrible attempt at a zero man hour advertisement scheme (slight exaggeration) ruin the high opinion I have for the Assassin's Creed series or the previous Prince of Persia titles. Thank you Ubisoft for never releasing this game to Kongregate!
