Reviews for "Use Boxmen"

Nice one

I love the graphics and smoothness of the animation on this. It felt really nice and fluid. The controls were simple and easy to grab hold of. The idea was very impressive. Most of the time games that require 'clones' of yourself don't happen in real time - but this does happen in real time and you can move along side your fellow boxmen. Very nice implementation.

Timing is indeed a very big problem with games like these. I'm actually one of those people who enjoy bits of timing elements in games, but the timing window in some of the levels was just way to small. One slight mistake or slight hesitation in movement would cost the entire level. And sometimes levels had to be 'set up' and it was very time consuming. I suggest opening the time window a little. Don't eliminate it altogether, just give more allowance for errors. There's a fine line between interestingly challenging and stupidly frustrating. It's up to you to find that line.

Also I think there can be some slight tweaking with the landing space of the boxmen. It was slightly difficult to judge when jumping on the poles because they were almost exactly my size and even if I was slightly off I'd fall off completely. Usually platformers have an allowance at the edge of every platform for characters to stick out a little - just a little. I felt like it needed a bit more of that in this game, especially the level with the jumping on the thin poles.

I'd definitely love to see a sequel with more levels and perhaps new positions where my boxmen react differently. Maybe a difference between a walking and running boxman. Or a jumping on - as in jumping on the spot.

Good work with this.

well it is his 3rd game give him credit and i thought this was amazing

I like the concept

I enjoyed the game but id prefer if timing and skill was not as big of a factor in this game, just solving the puzzle wasn't enough you needed to have precise time and accuracy or else you'd still fail and it was really frustrating. Sometimes you would accidentally fall off the stage or accidentally run into spike blocks as well.

But all in all god game and concept

Nice Idea

As stated before me, this game is great, fairly original, its just the curve goes from being tutorial easy, to 1 way out timed running whilst the boxmen race against you. I recommend a sequel just maybe a little less timed and more based on game mechanics, fantastic game though.

Great Job

Sorry to give only 9, would be 10 if it were longer, ONLY suggestion, great work, and luck with the medals idea, I think medals would really improve this game. : )
