Reviews for "Raider: Episode 1"

Absolutely Great

Loved every second I played, really made me think back to the nes and sega genesis.
I do have to bring up 1_25, though, as I couldn't get past it. That ladder to ladder jump is just a little too difficult to do. If you could lengthen either of the ladders a little bit, it would be a little more possible.
Besides that, fantastic game from what I experienced, and I can't wait for the next episode.

That jump can be done easily by holding SHIFT to do a small hop, but I'm still unsure about whether to remove it... It wasn't there originally and 1_25 was far easier, but I thought it was TOO easy...

Kids these days...

It seems that a few people have given unfairly low reviews, (and most likely ratings), So I'd like to address that first.

Graphics--
It's not 'bad' graphics in any way; It's meant to be a pixelated style to make games more clear-cut and to add perhaps a little nostalgia and imagination to normal bland, entirely 'flash', graphics. If you rated lowly because of the graphics... Well, shame on you.

Difficulty--
I'll admit that this game definitely goes overboard a bit for a flash game; Although really, that's kind of the point. It's not meant to be a game you CAN do well on by playing through it once, even on beginner. The difficulty adds undeniable replayability, and a challenge for experienced players. That being said, for a first level there are some sections of questionable difficulty. I wouldn't mind this if there were not MINOR glitches just enough to prevent me from achieving S rank, but since the next levels can only be harder, I am NOT looking forward to level 5... In summation, SUCK IT UP, N00B5.

All in all, a great game. The music is appealing, the graphics are just vague enough to make it have a nostalgic feel, and gameplay (although hard), is extremely addicting... I wish I could stop playing... Anyway, This is the type of game that you would expect from a team of proffessional flash programmers and artists, not a single man. Superbly done!

Old School !!

Very nice game, quite hard just like the old school game! I'd enjoyed it. It was aslo nice that the game is more than a 5 minutes easy game, but more like a "game". its really made for old school gamers who like me, enjoy playing those old nes games sometimes !

it looked ok

however i couldn't even get past the first jumps since the controls kept sticking

You must be using IE for some foolish reason...

its ok

i realy think that this game is hard and has very bad graphics i think this should be redone with better graphics and you dont have to restart the hole thing
