Reviews for "The Nutcracker"

Nice game

Great little game,

At first I thought the game was going to continue on beat-em-up style as per the first stretch, but I was happy to find things were divided up into a number of very different mini games that made up the player's adventure. Graphics were nice, and the music was perfect. Overall a polished game, and fun to play. More people should put this much effort into their work.

Thanks and merry christmas

Pretty good

Great graphics, small enough to be played on poor comps without laggs, and great programming. There are a few things to think about if you make another game like this (im not trying to be mean :P) You should make more combo possibilitys, E.G. A key=punch, S key=kick, D key=jump, and mabye a special bar that increases by getting combos. The only reason why i rated 9/10 was because i felt that the scenes are WAAAAYYYY too long with nothing happening. i was walking around for like 4min bashing toy soldiers annd it got a lil boring. Other than that it was great

Glad you enjoyed it. I didn't add other buttons in cause I wanted it to remain simple. You get to kick and jump for the boss fight :P

TGF+50 points

thank god for + 50 points....i think it was 54 but who cares? i was worried through level four. i came out with like.....01% life left....missed the beat thing.... i well great game loved it...little sad at the end though:( no sequel i guess....unless its zombie nutcracker=D

Great concept, Good music, Questionable gamepaly.

Overall I really liked the game but it does need some improvements. First, whatever that high pitched *ba-zing* noise that playes when you first get on the horse and again just before you fight the rat king is WAY too loud. It's probably not to noticeable with speakers but I'm wearing headphones and I have the volume set up to hear the music fine and that noise plays and A little blood comes out.
The only other main problem I had was that the nutcracker was too slow on all but the indostructo tank level. The leaf level is hard as hell, I have no idea how you're supposed to get 3600 points with out getting hit. I was able to doge about one third of the total guys. The controlls are just way too sluggish to avoid the guys.
Other quick suggestions would be
1. More attacks (the punch is too whimpy for the final boss)
2. Let people know that the last boss is timed.
3. The horse part needs some reworking (when the music starts getting fast the only way you can avoid the walls is to memorize where they are)
Otherwise I think you have a very enjoyable game here, keep it up.

Glaiel-Gamer responds:

On the final boss, did you try the kicks and air punch/kicks? They're much more effective than the punches.

Merry Christmas

Sweet

I was surprised by the amount of way Christmas could be ruined, lol. The "Too Slow" one was the best.
