Reviews for AUTOMATON Prt 1

[konrads]

A little more work from good towards the great

I loved the music, who is author of it? The gamestyle was well in the steampunk genre, which is all the rage now, I like it too. On graphics - why the proferssor has no hands? I imagine it'd be a bit difficult for him to live without them. Also, the movements where a bit too slow, a little faster next time. The puzzles where way too easy - i didn't need the hints on the board to solve the code lock, more challenge (but no pixelhunting, please). Loved the jokes of fnord and drugstore - so makings of decent plot - don't ruin it, spending extra hours on plot is worth more than extra hours on making something prettier. Overall - good work, I expect the next part to be more polished and longer. This could be the making of great series!

Mr Crumpet has hands. You will see them in part 2. He hides them.

Since this is part one i let the player learn instead of being challenged.

Don't worry. I WON'T SCREW UP THE STORY! It's the soul of the game. The fuel that keeps you running.

And im glad you realize that this is part 1 and that i will evolve and make better stuff.

PS:Ben Houge is the composer. It's from the arcanum soundtrack.

Thank you konrads for your review.
Have a nice day ;)

another well earned 8...

good graphics and shit but i think the ending is a bit predictable... like the 3rd robot follwing the others... i know what will (probably) happen the robot will come back after delivering the letter and the 3rd robot will kill the ghey scientist... predictable!

littleNorwegians responds:

Well your sadly wrong.
I will not tell what will happen but stuff the stuff you said (Might be the order, or something else. I wont tell) won't happen. Because that would be like you said predictable. And that would not be a real ending of the game. That would be more like a cliffhanger or something. I can tell you THIS for sure that the game won't end with either MK 3 or MR Crumpet dyeing OR the letter. Nice try. But i want to be original ;)

Have a nice day jack-hurrell.
I hope that the unpredictability made you happy.
Have a nice day :)

Nice Idea

This really mades me sad. It's great, that a submission is able to bring such emotions to me. I just had problems with the controlling at first, but keep going. :-)

Pretty damn good

Yeah, I liked it. It's different to a lot of other submissions, the story's good, the graphics and playability also... i voted a 4.
P.S. 'serux', the Spanish Flu shouldnt make you laugh, because it was a real disease that killed around thirty million people just after World War One! Just thought you should know! :)

littleNorwegians responds:

Thanks for for the vote and for explaining about the Spanish flu but it was actually 50-100 million people but you mad the point!

Thanks for the review SuperSteveDave.
Have a really nice day.
