Pretty good
This is a pretty awesome game, the only issue I find is the slowdown. I think if you cut down the amount of little gears that go flying, it would help with this problem, since I got the most slowdown when a bunch of those gears were onscreen.
I love your artistic style, the character designs are amazing, especially Death. The music is freaking awesome. Levels are linear, but with enough freedom of movement that it doesn't become monotonous. Well done.
Okay
It wasnt the best game but it was pretty good it got boring after the 3rd lvl But still its Ok
GREAT!
Great game! I wa sunable to hear so Im nto sure of the sound. =)
I felt like i needed to review this..
Ok. Buzzwerd. this is greg-anims. I felt like i needed to review this game, because it is both, really good. and really bad. at the same time...
THE GOOD: The style and look is consistant, and really impressive. Nice shape and simplicity to the graphics, nice colours, it all looks fantastic. I really do like the style of your characters and environments buzzwerd. Make sure your site looks like this! : P
Very nice physics and controll, like the moving blocks and sliding of the character.
Also i love the small toutches, like the way the steps sink a little as you step on them, and how the colour scheme changes in each level.
I only got to the worm level, which we shall talk about in a second, but the way the gameplay changes in brilliant, and its clear this game has some design and length to it. Unlike most flash games with their repeatedly spawning enemies..
The sound is brilliant and fitting too. Well done.
THE BAD (for consctructive criticism):
The camera, is quite annoying, when you turn around and eveything pans incredibly fast to the other side. Why not just centre the character?
Optimisation. This is flash, and yeah, it runs slow if you put too much into it(which is a pain). This movie runs slow even in the .exe on my PC, which is 2.4ghz an 1gb ram. Its a pretty good one. FLASH 8 FILTERS SLOOOW DOWN THE FPS BY LOOOADSS. Dont know if you realised this, but the blurr on the clouds (unneccesary), and any other effects..slows flash down a lot.
Speed..when the game ran full speed in places, it was so unbelievably fast..the jumping was hard to control because of this. And the worm level is just impossible for me..i really wanted to get past it because this game is so quality, but i just had to hammer jump..if i slowed down i just died. it is SO hard.
Enemy ai. Is pretty basic..but good. Although, with the dinosaur, and death. I can put the character in the middle of the enemy, and just repeatedly jump and shoot..its a bit boring.
Overall...a brilliant game, let down by some weird design choices. Im really impressed with the overall quality, and the fact that it has descent length and has a lot of effort put into it. Your one of my favorite flash developers buzz/truedark..because you dont hammer out shit for sponsorship money, you actually strive for descent games and put in the effort. Good job. When you get on MSN, please can you edit the .exe with level skipping, so i can play the rest of this! 30mins long, and i can only get to the worm level...i hope you respond to this. (damn, this review is the longest ive ever written..and i dont write many either. anyway, i hope you appreciate it)
Well, first off, thanks a lot for such a great review, with incredible constructive criticism and feedback, and taking the time to write it. So, with that said, I feel the need to respond to such respect :)
I appreciate the feedback of the good, we aimed deliberately for those details and I'm glad you were able to recognize them.
The bad. Yes, speed is probably the biggest downside to the game, as it can run slow for some while really fast for others who can handle it. Sorry about this, I will try and smooth out lag next time, and do my best to eliminate it all.
I'm glad you enjoyed the game and left us with some great things to polish up on for future games, and I'm so glad to hear that we're one of your favorite developers. Means a lot, thank you! :)
Pretty neat
it was Really easy, but when u cant look down from some jumps u wind up falling into holes on that level after the bone boss.
and thenu just repeatedly fall into the hole because it doesnt place u where u were before u jumped.
also, that bone boss just stood there while i blasted him, maby make him a little weaker and actually fight :)
the battle when you die was the best thing about it.
just.. i couldnt hurt death unless he lunged forward and stayed that way? odd.
