Controls Too Fustrating.
I tried with IE and Firefox and nothing seems to stop the automatic run forward the character will do sometimes. The controls aren't that great in general. Not a complete loss though, what I was able to play was fun and looked pretty good...just didn't play well.
pretty good
pretty good but i found a bug that needs fixing. at some point (i think it was after the 3rd or 4th check point) you climb a ladder and get shot dead by a guy next to it, the game freezes with you stood there and the guy shooting you again and agian w/o restarting automatically at the checkpoint.
Pretty Good
However, when I was fighting the giant, when he would do the grab move, I found it impossible to escape, no matter how fast I tapped the two arrows. Also, the controls were a bit annoying.
Potential, it has.
I haven't gotten far, and am still contemplating whether I should continue. Mostly, though, to make one HUGE recommendation. To hint at it: too much momentum is bad. It's too unrealistic. Honestly, I remember hating Super Mario 64 for that same thing. You just sort of slide around everywhere, rather than stopping like a normal human being. Anyhow, I probably shouldn't have started the review off negatively. Thing is, I like the concept thus far, and the art and animation are appealing. It's just the controls that feel weird. Too weird for me to really get into the game. I don't want to give you a bad rating, though, because this really would be cool after recoding the physics, and possibly checking into the bugs mentioned by previous reviewers.
So, basically, my only complaint is code redundancy. =P Just stick with a basic:
onClipEvent(load) {
var speed:Number = 0;
var run:Number = 6;
var grav:Number = 0;
var falling:Number = 0;
var jumped:Boolean = false;
var jumpHeight:Number = 15;
var touchingGround:Boolean = false;
var scale:Number = _xscale;
}
or something similar for physics variables and STOP. =P
Well, if you decided to fix the coding, I'd be excited to see the outcome. :]
great game but im frustrated
i really liked the game but i beat it with less then 14 lives and never hit any spikes and i never got the medal for it :s so thats frustrating...but i really liked it other then that
