Well ;
It reminds me of Doodle God, really.
It's kinda just a different version of it. :/
Reviews for "Genesis !"
Pretty Good
Not much to improve upon with doodle god, but your submission comes close. One thing that you can do, which has probably been addressed already is the need for organization. It is a giant cluster which has no structure, and i found myself accidentally deleting elements that bottlenecked my progress. There is no need for free ranged elements in this game, and an organizational tree is very much needed. It would have been better to at least organize the library to make access easier, and dont give me the fob of the search bar, because i might not remember which element I am looking for. Also, if you insist on adding a free range on the grid, add a number on board stat in the library so you can see if any element is not on the board.
As for originality, this comes very close to being an exact duplicate of doodle god. I don't quite know the later elements, as the clustering made my head hurt and i quit after making worms, but for the most part, this is not very different. If you were going for a nothing special tribute to doodle god, you achieved that. However, if you were going for something spectacular, you need to approach this game at a different angle. Make a fantasy world, or add a different element into the game, such as rpg etc. This is a good clone of doodle god, but not a good tribute.
Overall, the graphics were good and I experienced very good gameplay. All areas of the game were functional and
Hi, my name is glopso
This is a very nice game, screen gets cluttered though :P I dno't want to clear or else I might not find all the combos... anyway, do you play P3?
Orteil responds:
The only P3 I know is Planetoid 3, and yes, I've worked a bit for that game.
Care to detail in IM ?
Very nice, but MAN, THE LAGG...
Its an epic tribute to an epic game. I like how you tried to make it with an interactive interface, but it just gets completely cluttered and I can't find S!@#. I liked some of the new elements and ideas. I presume at the moment there are only 72 combinations, because thats how many I found.
Orteil responds:
Click the "library" on the right - you'll see that there are precisely 95 elements right now !
Like it!
It's great. I love this genre. The colour system needs a little work, it would be nice if a different colour appeared if that combination was already made, but then it might be easier. I do like Doodle God's hint system, how you have to wait for a hint and only use it if you want. Also, maybe a sort of family tree would be good, like as another menu, so you can view what you have and see what you haven't combined yet.
Also. For us people who just get stuck, even after combining things with the same thing, can we have a walkthrough. I'm really stuck :(
Otherwise superb game. I will want to know when a newer version comes out!
