Not bad.
Gameplay was maybe a tad difficult, it was hard to see enemies coming because the screen wouldn't scroll until you were near the edge of it, so that made things a tad annoying, but overall it really wasn't half bad. I'm sure this game will do well.
Thanks midnight_demon!
You can walk left a little - the screen will scroll from 50% along
This was fun.
I really enjoyed myself while playing this game, and thats what is most important about games. Every element was done very well and i will explain each one in detail in my review.
The graphics were good. The backrounds were very nicely done. The animation was very smooth and it was always clear what was going on. The colours were also pretty cool. The one problem with the graphics are the characters. The drawing of the boy could be more detailed and some of the robots were a bit plain. Either way graphics were very good overall.
The style in this movie was pretty good aswell. There was nothing too original about it, its a side scrolling beat-em-up. There arent really any unqiue game play elements. But side scrollers are always a blast to play. There was nothing much to the animating style except on a couple enemies and the backrounds. You did do a nice job on the controls and a nice job on the amusement part of the game.
Sound was good, but again there were a few problems. Some of the songs created a mood, but one or two of them did not fit in. I thought there was only one song at first and it got repetitive, but then i realized you could change them. All the songs were high quality and so were the sound effects. So good job on sound overall.
I liked the violence in this, nothing guresome and bloody but those things arent always necessary. This allows more ages to play and enjoy this game. There was obviously alot of interactivity as it was a game. The mini game and extras in the menu were cool additions.
Overall you guys both did a goos job and you got talent for making games. Keep making more, you can only get better!!! 4/5
Thankyou Chris_Aldin, that's a very thorough and well thought out review, and we appreciate it. Props!
With the songs, I'd like to have blended them properly, but couldn't find a satisfactory method in Flash. I think you can fade out loops in software, but I had to draw a line under the project somewhere so I didn't implement it.
Violence wise, yeah I think we pitched it right - psychological rather than visceral
Thanks once again - if you're ever in Cardiff look me up, I'll buy you a pint!

psycedelic
Nice game and and nice levels... I think the gameplay could be tweaked a bit more.. there are not a lot of good tactics possible.. You can do some charge on the first enemy and then attack him all the time to prevent him attacking while backkicking the other... it gets kinda boring...
Sounds like you found a good way to beat the game... I find that the dash attack leaves you vulnerable to counter attack myself.
Thanks for the review!
Pretty good
Not bad. Not bad at all. It could use a bit of work, but besides that I found this game very good. Although some levels were harder then they should be (even on easy mode) and mabey you should do a test run before finishing it. The art looked very Johnen Vasque-ish (which I like ALOT). The music and SFX were really good too. I think you have alot of promise.
I like Johnen's stuff too - it's awesome
Good game!
I liked this game! I surprisingly had fun!
