Nice graphics but;.....
the gameplay is:
1) way too difficult
2) kind of boring
Reviews for "Throw Ancient Stuff!"
It looked like it was going to be fun.
My first problem with the game is that I, possibly by mistake of my own, was under the impression that when you throw ancient stuff it breaks, making it ancient history (hahahaha). Nothing shattered when I threw it at the mummies, so that was my first disappointment.
My second moment of aggrivation came when I tried to push an approaching mummy with the stick. The stick worked in the game about as well as it probably would in reality . I wish I had the option to beat the Mummies with the stick. It would have been far more amusing. In your instructions I do believe it does say "poke" and not "push", so I'll give you credit for being honest.
Third. Those damn scrabbs, crabss, or roaches were pointless to the game. I liken their value to the game to the worth of piss in a pool. They just shouldn't be in this game. They didn't pose as much of a challenge as much as they did fuel my annoyance with this game.
I liked the idea of the game, but once I started playing, it just wasn't what i thought it would be.
It would have been fun......
graphics are decent and seem to fit the style of play and represent the absurdity of the premise quite well. Gameplay....what shall we say about gameplay......Oh! Of course! Scarabs are retarded and suck. Since when can a bug stun you? And no wonder your they're mummies, the line takes forever to get to them. Make the game mouse interactive, get rid of the scarabs. Poking? Do I have to comment about the poking? No poking. Poking is not a defense, certainly not in this game. Why is farting a bonus? farts are fun! Put a torch in the game so you can do a torch/fart combo. Fun to be had by all. Maybe some levels? One screen, mummy poking, scarab dodging, block throwing linetaking forevering does not equate long term fun. How you made first page, I will never know. maybe after you fix it, it might go in the archives, but for now, this calls for a major overhaul, and may God have mercy on the fool who makes a sequel for this.
Nothing new
its your average, waste 3 minutes of your life online game. all you do is pick up and throw stuff to earn some points. its pretty interesting for the firs 2 throws, and then as nothing changes at all it gets boring fast. dont bother playing it
presented, but I
Played it a day or so ago a couple of times. Took me 3 attempts to get the grog. Then I played maybe a couple more times to see if anything changed.
Today I played it once, mainly to review it.
---- I found the gameplay more limited than the presentation led me to believe. I thought that the poking would be a viable gameplay strategy. I thought that the grog would open up new gameplay avenues, not just be a wee get-out clause.
--- The line when we're throwing stuff - it should appear in front of objects, I feel.
--- This is personal preference, but I thought the speed at which the line moved was too slow.
---- I noticed more scarabs come along later on, but the game did seem to progress a bit slowly, I felt.
- I was never sure whether I'd be killed or not by a blow. I did eventually work out that the scarabs stun, but the mummies kill.
I think it could've been addressed in the instructions screen.
+++ Gfx are very nice.
++++ Great sound. Fitting atmosphere and sfx have good 'resonance'.

Nicely presented, but I hate the game.
