Reviews for "Cave of Wonders"

Sucks

Really good graphics and gameplay,but what are the green flags for if you don't restart from there ?Impossible medals

Sigh......

This game was short of imagination, short of plot, short of gameplay, and had no real purpose. The only saving grace was the graphics, which even then weren't amazing.

ENDING RUINS GAME! I SHALL NOT FIGHT HIM AGAIN! I GROW TIRED!

wow....

mindless, brings little to the table and seems to be aimed at babies... ?

hmm... where to start....
ok, why a boss fight as the first encounter? scratch that, why a 3 stage boss fight as the first encounter?
literally less than a full 60 seconds into the game and with one lame pickup and two equally lame attacks, we get a full "end of chapter one" type boss fight coming in three stages? not to mention out of my two attempts he easily stole all three lives i started with.
boss fights are something build up to, let the player prepare for, not, "press start" "prepare to kill the boss"
i honestly can't say i'm motivated to bother seeing if my theory that this is either the only level, or one of the two only levels is well founded or not.
and while we're at it.... why is he wearing a diaper? at least i think that's what it was.

it'd be nice to be able to at the least recover some health or have a secondary means of attacking him either during or before the fight.

coming back to the two attacks i saw, given i just couldn't stand anymore of the taste of tripe this game was spewing at me.
was the point of the double jump attack simply to make beating the first two stages of the boss so mindless all you ever had to do was (stage one) bounce off his head for an eternity, repeat, ad infinitum.
and the second stage was ever so more strategic of a stand in one place and occasionally jump while spamming the same attack endlessly encounter.
yeah, my A key needed a workout, thanks.
the third stage did show a little more promise though i suppose (assuming my guess at how to beat the third stage was correct, which i'm not sure it was) with the changeup of standing in the right place to get him to stack bricks which he drops for reasons best left unknown untill the next spamming of the A key begins (my guess anyway)

i honestly can't say this is a very accurate review, but all in all, when a game frustrates me to the point i have no intention of attempting even the first level again, it's fairly typical that playing beyond that won't change the gist of my review.

anyway, take it with a grain of salt, but it seems incredibly ho-hum and uninspired, i suppose the too many cooks spoil the stew thing definetly rang true here.

What's going on?

I keep getting dead. It is annoying! What's going on? I click play and I am already dead... Or right in the middle of it I die!
