hmm
2 years? that's a loong time for such a small game, are you sure you didn't just make this after seeing mauslands new game preview? it's pretty much exactly like this only more epic
Reviews for "Shark Mountain"
Skeik responds:
Honestly, I've been working on this game with my friends for 2 years. We didn't slave everyday to make it, but it's been in development for 2 years. This happens with a lot of big games I release.
I finish a game and another game with a similar concept (usually executed better) comes out. Neither of us copied each other, it just happens by circumstance. We were worried that we would be seen as copiers of Mausland because he's bigger so we tried to release ours first.
Brilliant!
While graphics could use a little more work ( mainly the orbs, the gradient/blandness was kinda bad ) some things had a specific charm, and it was all cohesive, quite nice. The concept is sweet, yes, why is there a shark at the top of the mountain? Because epic win, that's why.
Nice opoening cinematic, pretty funny, I usually cringe when I watch a poor written story unfold, but this felt right all the way thru, nothing forced.
I didn't hit any glitches, and reached 107 place on the high score sheet when I died ( my own fault, I wanted to see what would happen jumping off ). The feel was good, liked the rebound off walls, and lock-picking achievements :)
The real issue for me was it was slow the whole time, I'm sure it's the browser's fault, if I was playing it as an swf on my desktop it would probly run fine, so I can't really knock ya for that.
Good job dude!
Skeik responds:
You can knock me for the lag, heh. It runs terrible on the desktop too, there's just way to many particles flying around, and I didn't optimize it well. Phantasmic Dead wrote and animated the entire thing, pretty much his idea.
Thanks for the review.
2 years?
2 years for this? you really dont know flash then... its full of bugs...
...
You need to spend a few more years to fix all the bugs.
Buggy
Lots of bugs. Wall passing, when u jump close to the mountain, near spawnpoints you may even hit 10 ppl and if u jump close to the mountain and hit the mountain u respawn back in water (weird). Nice btw but kinda boring.
