Reviews for "Game & Watch: God of War"

I had fun, so why did noone else?

I actually enjoyed this. Simple but fun. It was like playing the old retro game and watch. It entertained me for hours, and it made me go back to the old retro games (mainly the old Game & Watch: Donkey Kong) :). If you don't like this you must be stupid, or a Sony fan boy.

Haha, thanks man! :) Good to see some more positive reviews! There was a wave of bad ones there but it was just the last few, the vast majority of the earlier ones were very positive, so no worries - you're not alone! :)

Glad you enjoyed it! I had a lot of fun making it, so I'm glad people are getting some play value/nostalgia out of it! :)

Well done

Simple but fun. It would have been a 10, but there is a problem where minotaurs never come through the far right opening, making the third movement slot meaningless. Fix that... and perhaps make the patterns a bit more random, and a bit less predictable (which a fifth enemy slot would certainly do,) and it's a 10 for sure. Cheers.

Holmfry responds:

Thanks for the review man! :) That was exactly what I found was causing the glitch mentioned in the review just before this one, I'm actually just fixing the offending line of code now ;) Can't believe I never noticed that!

Thanks! :)

Dude

I loved this. I tried playing through the whole thing just clicking the left and right buttons. That was quite a challenge, I got to 50 xD
Awesome concept, though. 9/10 :)

Holmfry responds:

Nice! Good score for using your mouse! Thanks for the review! :)

Mr. Game and Watch is proud, my friend.

I love how you took a Game and Watch game and revamped it, God of War style. The sound is faithful to the Game and Watch franchise and the sprites were simply amazing. G&W Kratos is a sight no one should miss out on. The buttons work with either the arrow keys or the mouse. Nice touch. (Pardon the pun for those of you who have a touch screen.) This was well deserving of the front page. 4/5, 9/10, and a fav.

Holmfry responds:

Awesome! Thanks so much man! :) I'm really happy you like it!

Classic case of 'Addiction'

This game brings back memories; Sitting in the room with my bulky gameboy and and 4 extra batteries. Lol.

The game speaks for itself. Anyone who has played and enjoyed any Game and Watch games will enjoy this. Just like the good old games the difficulty changes in a heartbeat. I'm glad that you kept that aspect, along with other things, of retro games with this game.

I think the game would have been better if you would have added some monotone God of War background music and other game modes. Maybe an epic battle between Zeus and Mr. Game and Watch? Just something to give the game more game play options and a couple more of wasted time on our behalf.

Besides that I thought it was a very addictive game. 9/10. Can't wait to see what you come up with next.

Holmfry responds:

Thanks for the awesome review and the great suggestions! If I do another Game & Watch, I might think about adding in a "modern" mode with additional features like that. :)
