sucked
hate text adventures it was ok
Reviews for "Escape From Slurpyville"
not bad
it was quite fun to play, it reminded me of zork :) ( an old text-adventure from the 80's )
the music was good.
but u should put some distracting animations
I dont think most of the today's NG viewers have the patient to read all that txt.
I was entertained...
And I was amused. And I don't think it needs a "retry 2 steps back" button or whatever. I spent sooooooooooooooooo many hours redoing the begining of the HitchHiker game trying to get that smegging babel fish, this was cake by comparison. I love all those text games, and the old school choose your own adventure books.. I still have some transformers and zork ones from when I was young.
What I really like about this, and this particular medium, is it allows those of us who lack artistic ability but still have artistic sensibilites to get our ideas out there. I've been working on some stuff, but I haven't uploaded anything yet 'cause I can't draw, but you've inspired me.. maybe I'll do something like this. It's not that it doesn't take skill, but it takes a different kind of skill.
Oh, and I'm giving you a 5, not neccesarily 'cause you deserve a 5, but you definetly deserve better than a 1.77 and I want to raise it as much as I can.
Rock on!

Wow, thank you so much. I'm thrilled to get such a positive response about one of my Flash movies. It's hard to say what got me interested in making a game like this (besides the Zork game) but like you said, some of us just don't have the artistic ability--and for that matter, the time to draw detailed set and characer after detailed set and character--and this just seemed like a good idea for a fun little interactive story to me. Hopefully I'll come out with an episode 2 when I get the chance, and I'd love to see what you can do with this same sort of idea as well. Thanks again!
I'm sorry but
people now-a-days don't have the pactice to read this. Although it was neat. Good story too.
DoubleJ13 responds:
I'm confused by this review. First you say people don't have the patience to read all of it, but secondly you say it was "neat" and that you yourself actually liked it. Same thing that I said to the guy who wrote "sucks" in his title and told me my animation was horrible, review it for what it is (and how much you liked playing it), not what you think it should be. I'm glad you had fun with it, though.
pretty good
i like it, i should get a better score, there are a few things that you could do to make it better, instead of starting over, you should have something like "go back 2 places" so you wouldnt have to go thru the whole thing again, its pretty cool, got a good storyline..
DoubleJ13 responds:
First of all, thanks. I appreciate the positive feedback. I think the reason it's pulling less than a 2 right now on newgrounds is that this place, as is the case with most flash sites, is based mainly on animation. And that's obviously not what Escape From Slurpyville is about. Like I was saying about that "try again" or "go back" option...I was thinking of adding it but I decided against it because I didn't want people cruising through the whole thing in just a couple minutes. But I have heard the same complaint from many people before, so if I was going strictly for viewer feedback it would probably be wise for me to add it.
