Looks nice, but plays badly
I agree that this game looks very nice but lacks good gameplay. I got bored easily and expected a bit more in terms of gameplay (powerups etc).
As said it looks great, it has its own style and is appealing.
Sound works.
Controls are easy to pick up and are set out for comfort. Found the line to be too faded to see properly, the poke was funny at first but eventually pointless.
just....no
I normally try to give games the benefit of the doubt, but it is very hard in this case. While I'm not going to call you gay or tell you to stop making flash games forever, I will say that this one can probably be thrown in the trash. For a breakdown of what I mean, here is this:
Things I hated:
*The stick that you hit the mummies with did absolutely nothing to stop them. It's supposed to push them back but with them advancing from both sides and the scarabs on the ground, it is pointless to waste your time. Pushing them back at like 1mm a hit doesn't do much when the mummies from the other side are steadily advancing.
Things I didn't like:
*The slow reaction times. Sometimes he wouldn't jump right away, other times he would jump but then glitch and actually go back down to the ground without finishing the jump. When you have scarabs (that you can't kill mind you) coming after you, you don't have time for slow reactions and glitching if you are going to successfully dodge them.
*The objects you throw. How come sometimes I would throw an object that would only kill one mummy, while other times it will kill more than one? I watched the white line and would wait til it has crossed a couple of mummies, and then throw the object. A good strategy I thought until I found that sometimes it would kill one and then come to a dead stop.
*Also, at times he wouldn't pick up the object. I would be right over it and nothing would happen after pressing the button.
Overall, really sorry man, but I personally found the game to be very annoying and not that fun at all. If you are making another flash, I would definitly not make it a sequel to this one. Best of luck to you on your next game.
Okay...
Why this on the front page, I'll never know.
The whole ideal was good, but the game just plain wasn't very good.
A reviewer before me gave a (long) good reason(s) why this game wasn't very good. The only reason why I kinda liked it, because it was little funny. You know, the whole thing about an old guy poking a mummy with a stick/cane. Yeah so, the humor got a five from me.
Wtf?
Beatles can knock u over? thats bullshit
borin
