It's definately not bad...
But you need to work on the lasers a bit more. About a dozen times the alarm went off when I was MILES away from ANY laser, which made me quit playing.
Reviews for "Emerald Thief"
Good delivery, Mediocre gameplay
You have a good art style coming up. However, the gameplay on this one won't last you that long -- I think you agree. If you decide to update this one or make another, incorporate more gameplay aspects. The fact that it is just avoidance is kind of bland. However, the worse part is that it punishes you by making you restart the entire thing if you mess up, and that can be very frustrating if you spent a lot of time getting to the point you are at. Restarting at the beginning of the room would make it less of a hassle.
good concept, bad execution.
Graphics: fine
Style: Great idea, kinda original
sound: BORING MUSIC! please have an option to turn it off.
Violence: I got very vulgar while playing...
Interactivity: Guy moved fine, but there were a few instances where I got caught WITHOUT being hit. I'm guessing the hit box is just that: a box. This ends up being more frustrating than a shoot 'em up by Cave.
Humor: you may be getting some laughs from this... I'm not.
I just played a game that's only slightly less frustrating than closing my dick in a door repeatedly. That's what this boils down to...
Boo
Exactly, very frustrating. What "cameras", everything was red. each room was pretty difficult. Not worth my time. If you're going to make something as simple as that, just with movement, you've gotta make it a little easier. Otherwise it's just annoying.
Meh.
More frustrating then it is fun. The fact that its not particularly pretty doesn't help. Sound is not that great. Increase these fronts and you might have a good game. But hey, it's on the front page so what the fuck do I know?
