A bit too hard...
But it was still a fun game. And the little dude has to be a ninja to be able to ride a harpoon. Fun and Challenging Game!
Reviews for "FISHBANE"
Pretty good.
There isn't anything in this game that I haven't been able to figure out on my own. The enemies are fine and I have found out that the enemies are the speed they are for a reason, as they block some things in later levels.
Anyone who judges the difficulty of ANY game solely on the first level, which is basically a tutorial level, well.. that should be saying enough.
SOOO HARD
But so much fun, really good game
Suffers from a lack of player testing.Gem in rough
It needs a tutorial level, to explain the basic ways to navigate.
It needs a faster loading time for the harpoon. It's frustrating waiting for the magic harpoon to navigate back to your hand.
The enemies should be smooth, not spastic. It's boring waiting for them to slowly move out of the way of magical fish. It doesn't particularly add to the difficulty either.
It also wouldn't hurt to have some sort of pull up mechanism for the harpoon. The controls are rough, to say the least, and anything that would make the game feel smoother would be good.
Maybe some sort of story, or power ups? I didn't feel any desire to finish it. Did the first level. Then... nothing happened that held me. The difficulty is mild.
Your description is misleading. The first major enemies you meet can't be impaled by your harpoon. Thus, there's no satisfaction in murdering random individuals you meet. Murdering random individuals is at the core of any game's fun.
Love it!
I noticed three things though. One, once you start a level, is it even possible to go back to the main menu? That is definitely something that would be awesome. Two, I could see that you were ready for medals (got a few In game). Throw those up and it'd be awesome. Finally, no in game pause??? On a game with a timer? Really?
