poor

the hit detection is a bitch.
you can get stuck behind something way o easy.
+ that there is no real jump controle.
nice try.

Sorry Charlie

The controls were really really poor. I like a character to do what I tell it when Im playing a game.

Not too bad.

It's a diamond that needs some more polish would be one way to put it.

I mean, you had the clever plot, the setting, character, good art, music, nice little intro. I expected it to be a generally fun and good game once it started up. Then I tried to play and the expectation took a tumble if anything.

To me there's a difference between a game being purposely difficult and unnecessarily difficult.

It felt like the ox was snatched out of a completely different game and thrown into the level system. The controls were really loose and sluggish, it didn't fit the platforms or surroundings at all.

At the start of the level it's required to run forward, turn around and jump over the three pillars. 9/10 times I got stuck in between mainly because the the ox didn't fit and couldn't get over. On the other half of the level is the whole box pushing scene, all is pretty good until you have to turn around and get up to the second level. It seems the 'hit detection' or whatever you wish to name it struggles here and causes frustration. Alas, when up on the second level you need to push a box off the ledge, no problems there. Until you hop down, this part of the level is a big smack in the face whenever I attempt to do it.

The gap in which you have to jump up in is incredibly small, coupled with the fact I seem to magically teleport through a tiny gap between the top of the box and the bottom side of the second platform. It's really a sucker-punch and takes the enjoyment away from it.

Finally I get to the end of the level, push the box down and it should be all simple from here. But it isn't, the ox is completely unable to jump over the wall, yet when I go back a bit it works as if by magic.

Considering it's your first game I'd say it's pretty good. I just think it's difficult for the wrong reasons. Everything else aside from the controls and other few mishappens were great. I'm not slamming you or saying it's a terrible game, just pressing some issues that may need some tweaking.

There's no doubt I'm exaggerating with some points here, and it's not as bad as I'm making out.

It just needs a little working on is all.

Very decent

For what this is, its really not bad at all! I feel that this should be said due to everyone else giving you a hard time for the controls.

Yeah, the controls aren't conventional or all that practical for gaming. But thats the idea and ... let's face it ... the only challenge of the game. Without that, finishing the game in 30 seconds would be far too easy.

But at the same time this is still a simple game etc etc. But hell it kept me entertained for a good 20 minutes to get that last medal.

Painstakingly tedious...

I mean this game can be extremely frustrating as one wrong move will completely mess up your chances of getting the 50 point medal. Honestly I didn't really like it that much I mean for a game to be this frustrating it should at least have more animations going on in the background, but I understand your intention was to make this challenging. If you want to get the 30 second badge follow "Krogar's" review advice but at the end instead of trying to land on the box try and make a leap of faith for the heater (it worked for me). Secret medal: let Benny freeze his ass off for 5 mins apparently he gets used to it....
