Reviews for "Runes of Shalak"

This...

Really frustrated me. It's simple and fun at first, but for all you medal hunters, I bid you good luck. For once you get to world two, it'll make you so mad that you'll wanna throw your monitor off a building. I made it to 2/5 and gave up before my hair started to fall out. A quick tip, add some more things to do! run and jump, thats it. Maybe a weapon would be something to think about.

:-(

too easy, good game but easily completed it would be better if it had more levels and more bad guys

Well

First I like to say I had played this game before however I hated it so much I only got through the first few levels, at the time I didn't have an account however now that I do I guess it's time to review this one..

I guess I'm reviewing the game itself, and not the nostalgia right?
The graphics, lazy..Sure it's supposed to imitate atari fine.
Now what realllly irked me was how the game was coded, and that would be the collision detection and the controls responsiveness. Now having a slightly delayed jump is a bother, but sometimes it can't be helped. Whatever.. But the HUGE problem is the collision detection
.
Hey is there a block there? GUESS NOT.

Falling through the level is bad mmkay? Imagine if you were playing any given mario game and everytime you went to jump you fell through the game's floor. Even if atari games had bad detection it doesn't give an excuse for this to.

Infact I think this game would be great if it weren't for poor coding. And it's not like he didn't know it had these issues, infact several latter levels RELY on this to be the entire challenge... That's just bad design Imo.

Lastly, I don't think the game is actually hard, sure the timing may be a bit bothersome at points but the real reason this game gives the impression of being difficult is the fact that everytime you jump you fall THROUGH something.

FIX BUG

it sux, when you hold a button a bit too long it keeps doing the action conected to that button, fix it
and no it is not my computer because i tried it somewhere else too, same problem

no.

i rarely give bad reviews but this thing probably took less time to make than it does to play... i would think that with the terrible art, and dumb objectives, that you could have taken the time to make the boxes solid enough to jump on!
