Reviews for "Rings and Sticks"
a game the whole family will love-peoples choice
this is a good lil kids puzzle game.it needs alittle music .this game would be cool if you made the b.g. go from morning to night like itll look like the trees growing over time.and to give lil kids a smile at the end of each course you could make the tree grow leaves after you beat each course. but still this game is good
Original puzzle
Impressive !
I found number 13 (starting from 0) to be the most difficult.
My mistake was to suppose the game was grid based, and try to draw the positions of stars and rings on a paper grid. With the false asumtion of diagonal moves to be +1 +1 squares, I had a hard time drawing things.
I did number 14 on 1st try, and thanks to the many stars on last level, I did an exaustive "survival" sequence search, that quickly led to the solution. I only checked the tree to see what moves would kill me next step.
The only problem I see in this otherwise great puzzle game, is that it's very hard to see where a branch would land, if it grew a few steps further.
A way to help with this issue would be to show blinking dots representing landing spots of a branch, should it grow more in straight line. the dots of a branch would be shown when the mouse hovered the branch tip.
Showing the currently inputed sequence and last inputed sequence would also greatly help redo things after doing a mistake.
These two helps could ideally be toggled on and of for those who like the harder challange.
Komix responds:
I didn't add fancy thigns to help the player to undo mistakes or to see what each button because I didn't think it was needed, and because I was too lazy.
Cool you managed to complete the last level :-D
That was cool.
That would be so much better... If i didn't suck at it.
I think i need a bigger brain now.
Pretty cool game
I couldn't get very far because I'm not too good at these games, but it was fun while it lasted. It is a very original concept. I put a 2 for humor because the idea of growing a tree through rings is sort of funny to me.
