"Well, it was nice, but..."

date: May 1, 2007

...I hated it when I totally died, then I click on new game, I find myself back to the same level of energy I had before I died, and having only one life left. I would rather you made it easier for me to just start from the top, rather than for me to close the window and load the game again.

Still, good job. The person below me is a pussy who can't play for shit, don't mind him.

Author's Response:

Done! You now get a New Game or Continue option at the main menu.

Constructive criticism at it's finest!

"way too hard"

date: May 1, 2007

only problem i wanted a flash game that would be fun which at first glance it was but under that it was just enemies dealing damage when you block which doesn't make sense ( i mean if i blow with a sword it doesn't smack me in the face and hardly block any of the damage).
In a way i just wanted a game i can pick up and enjoy and not sit there and be pissed because i didn't block fast enough or didn't jump high enough.
God of war is a good example on super hard mode its hard but you don't die horribly from blocking.

Author's Response:

Haha... soooo... you don't like my game... because you take an 8th of the damage a normal hit gives you if you block it? And because it's not like God of War super hard mode?

How about this... let me go to your flash games and movies and see if you can inspire me to do better with your own work.

Oh wait... you have no original work of your own on Newgrounds.

Hmmm... looks like you're really only good at telling people what they should do.

I guess that's good for something...

"Wow!"

date: May 1, 2007

That was great! The graphics were awsome, and I like that style of game too. :P Keep it up! If only i could learn that level of advancness of Action script . . .
Anywho Great job!

Author's Response:

You know, I said that exact same thing about 4 years ago. All it takes is a bit of practice to become proficient enough!

I started out by literally making and conceptualizing ripoffs of other flash games.

Now's a great time to start. Especially now that AS 3.0 is out! Sooo much more power and functionality!!!

:-)

"cool but too hard"

date: May 1, 2007

You should add a lot more life, becouse the bosses can do really big harm, a single mistake and a life is gone. I'm talking about that the bosses leave no breathing room when Pico is knocked out, and he doesn't become invulnerable for a few second, so the boss knocks him out again, I need a great luck to get away the dangerous zone. It's not fun to start over becouse of some minor mistakes. Ok, I know, that after game over when I click start it takes me to the last checkpoint, but with only one life! When I got to the wizard, my life bar was at 1/3, so I had no chance against him, and every time I started over I had the same low health. So I think the game should start with 10 or more lives, or at least some in game methodes to get lives. Or you could make an adustable difficulty, so the mazochists could have their fun too.

Anyone, who can't defet the hammer guy: it's basicly the same methode like the boar rider: you charge and when you are close enough (about under the hammer), jump and slash to his face. Then be quick, becouse he hits after you. after a few times he becomes furious and hits continuosly, that time you have to deal a final blow somehow. A few times I could make it without getting hammered, but I don't remember how, you should strike somehow exactly when he not swings the hammers but he always swings them, so maybe try just blindly.

Author's Response:

The health and life bug has been mentioned. I'll try and have that fixed when midterms are over.

I'm glad you like the game!

"Pretty solid, good game."

date: May 1, 2007

I liked the challenge, and I got past the boar boss. You need to get slashing his face until he blocks, then run away. When he charges, you jump, turn in midair, then hack at the soldier riding it. After the boar's down, you just dispose of the soldier like you would any other.

And if anyone's confused about the whole Goth thing, it's talking about the midevil goths in Europe. Not the skull loving ones. Refer to teh goth bible for more on the history.

Author's Response:

Ha! Yeah, I know some others who were confused by the same thing. Thanks for the PSA!

You made it! Nice game! Really fun to play!
But what really impressed me it's that actually you wrote a response to almost every review! You sure have a lot of time! (Just kidding!)

I'm looking forward to see another games from you!

Author's Response:

Haha, I'm keeping up on the reviews while I study for my midterms today.

Thanks for the high marks!

"Adding to my favourties"

date: May 1, 2007

It was great. And after reading some previous comments, it seems as if there was a lot more you that was to go into the game as well. You know, like that bow and arrow idea, and the airbourne enemies.

Make a sequel. Have more levels and add those features that didn't make it. It would be sick. Oh and the Survive the Horde mini game was a nice touch.

Author's Response:

Bows and Arrows and airborne enemies aren't the half of it. I was planning on giving the player the ability to choose to fight as Darnell and Nene! Haha! In fact, the code is already set up to handle that situation! It sucks that I ran out of time!

Perhaps there needs to be a Pico of the Dark Ages 2 for PicoDay 2008? ;-) This was a rather entertaining experience, afterall.

Thanks for adding this to your favorites!

"Really Good"

date: May 1, 2007

At first I was getting pissed at the hammer guy, but if you keep running back and forth across the screen and jumping just before you get to him, you can hit his mouth and avoid getting hit.

It took time to figure out the patterns, but overall it was really good

Author's Response:

Good job on figuring that out! Thanks for the high marks!
