Reviews for "HiRoads"

Seen it before...in about 1993

You basically took a perfectly good game developed by Bluemoon called "Sky Roads" renamed it, and replaced the original game's space ship with a ball? Where's the credit to the original? Not cool.

Don't believe me?

hahaha, it's obvious that this is a remake!
you are very funny people...

unresponsive.

its a fun game, but sometimes when i try to turn or jump, it does nothing. and other times, i press a direction once and it keeps going until it falls off.

I LOVE YOU.

let me just start out with WHAT THE FUCK. i was thinking about the game skyroads about a month ago and couldn't remember the name of it. i used to play this game all the time as a child. you sir have impeccable timing and have made me weep with joy.

are some/all of these levels modeled after the original? i somehow distinctly remember wanting to pull my hair out on some of these levels.

i'd give you a million/5 if i could, this game has brought back tons of nostalgia

filipp8 responds:

No, all the levels are original, but I plan to port some of skyroads' on hiroads.com...

btw skyroads is freeware, you can download it directly on bluemoon's website!

This addictive 3D platformer is quite simple yet satisfyingly difficult. While The physics take a while to get used to, they work well and provide a dimension of challenge when traveling on the paths. The levels are well designed, challenging the player to carefully plan out their route while making last minute decisions to avoid death (if balls could die and dream..)

There are problems with the game, mostly around the presentation. The 3D visuals look great, bringing a surreal look to the game. But, since it is in 3D, there are problems in how the player traverses the level. Some of the scenery blocks parts of the path, giving no indication if there is a gap or low ledge hidden behind these higher ledges.

The color scheme works well, cue the player to possible routes and pitfalls but works against the player since the colors don't shift or change color teh closer you get to them. This makes it harder to discern the distance between two points, leading to many mess ups.

The oddest problem has to be the power it takes to run this game. While perusing the reviews below, one keeps coming up: lag. This is not a knock on the game as it is better for it to be made well. This is more of a warning both players and game makers: Just because your computer can't run it doesn't mean the game is bad, it just isn't accessible to a wider audience. By making the game more advanced, many thing can be done with it, be it better aesthetics or gameplay. But, with the advance of technology, there has to be a balance between gameplay and graphics. This game teeters on that fine line.

Good game play but hindered by mild problems inherent to a 3D interface.

lol 3D?

and i thought that flash games should only be in sidescroll.
this is not that bad either.
