Achievement Unlocked: Death by sudden appearance

First off, great game. Submitted to games collection, at least one vote from me.
The graphics weren't too shabby, especially since you were going for a retro look. Gameplay is simple, yet challenging. I couldn't tell if the Achievement Unlocked bit was a real concept or a satirical poke at the 360...either way, I felt it was unnecessary. But then, that's how I feel about Achievements on the Xbox too.

The only thing I think could use some serious improvement is the death aspect. I died twice, in rather quick succession, because the orb suddenly reappears. Perhaps have it start out small and grow, giving the player a chance to adjust to it being there. Rather than having a slightly-difficult-to-predict time frame before it pops back at full size. By the time the walls are coming fast and cramped enough for a player to die, they're coming so fast that there's no reaction time to avoid getting killed again.

Good game though...fully deserving of front page, imho.

ImpendingRiot responds:

Sorry about that, something that can be improved, I agree. My best piece of advice is to hold down the mouse when you die, that way you spawn shrunken. Anyways, thanks for the feedback, glad you enjoyed it

Simple

but still fun. I liked the powerup, but maybe slitting into two power-ups (one that sucks orbs, and the other allows for invincibility). Plus, having invincibility and faster shrinking is kinda redundant since you don't need to shrink to avoid the walls. but good game anyways!

Whee.

The game was fun and gets challenging after a while. I also enjoyed the achievements aspect of it.

I only need a few more...7, 8 and 9. How about a hint? :D

Suggestions:
Extra Life Powerups
Different modes or difficulties.

You could even put Powerdowns in as well. Like a powerdown that makes you grow bigger.

I'll be back to get those achievements! I swear it!

Excellent; could be even better

I gave this 5/5 because it was incredibly fun--only 8/10 in this review, however, because it wound up feeling a little lacking. If you added in some of the suggestions below (different powerups, life-ups, debuffs), it could be even more exciting.

If you add in any extra doohickies, slow down the speed-up (huh) so that the player has more time to get accustomed to the multiple aspects.

With or without additions, this is a very solid game that succeeds in achieving an old-school arcade feel.

COOL

GOOD JOB. VERY ADDICTING. COULD IMPROVE, THOUGH.
