Reviews for "Runes of Shalak"

hmmm

one of the most frustrating games I've ever played.... I loved it!
sadely, I didn't have the endurance to finish the game ( i got to around 4/2) but still it was great!
However it did remind me a LOT about the PDA game in alien hominid. right down to the music and especially the character. i mean check out the beheamoths webpage: http://www.thebehemoth.com/ . in the top there is a little white figure who looks EXACTLY like our hero, jake. anyway, kudos on making such a good game! even though it was hard it never felt unfair, it always felt like it was your own fault.

Hard, but Awsome!

it is really hard but it was well made. Good Job

Fun..

This is a game you could play until you finished [which would take forever... If you're me.. ^_^] and actually have fun doing it. Yes, the window is a little small, but so is the game.. Niice job..

Packed with personality!

As the title says, this game literally OOZES personality. Everything from the character animation to the music is charming and well composed.

That said, the game also gets really frustrating really fast. I managed to complete it after a LOT of persistence and patience, but I fear that most players (especially the younger crowd who didn't grow up with retro games like I did) will be put off by the difficulty and not have the patience or interest to push onward and take death after death.

However, it certainly was fun enough to take those deaths for me. :) The controls were nice and tight, music was addictive, the visuals were VERY alive despite their simplicity. This is really one of my favorite games I've played on NG lately, and I'm shocked I didn't find it sooner!

9/10 from me.

Suggestions: MAKE A SEQUEL! I'd love to see what adventures await these two in the 8-bit world. ('Make love to me.' was a subtle riot, a true commentary on the endings of classic games, well done! lol) In said sequel, I'd like to see the music progress as you reach new worlds, just to keep the energy up.

Glitches I encountered: Sometimes when landing on spikes, the character just stands there ontop of them, and requires movement to die.

In one level (I forget the number), you can jump up one of the walls several times to get up above the screen! At this point you're stuck and can't do anything, even die, so you better pray you wrote down the last password and have the endurance to play through a few levels again. -_- lol

That's all! Time to check out your other games!!!

well

Its a good game,
very hard bur once you played it... you know how i feel.
