I thought it had potential.
It was tedious, simply having to hold down the mouse to shoot the walls, if there was some kind of mucus hose, or if it was some other mechanism to seeing the level, I would have had more fun.
Reviews for "Black Thing"
Good game but..
it's so full of annoying bugs... you are easily trapped in the ground. Sometimes I felt down the floor for no reason, etc.
Good Idea, Shame about the glitches!
I loved the game, but the game kept glitching and freezing which made me give up on the 3rd level! A big shame!
good game but...
in it's current state there are just too many bugs; it's unplayable
Unrealized Potential
The good: The concept is strong. In this game, it's pretty vital to "explore" by throwing black ink everywhere. It reveals the presence of secrets, key items to help you move forward, etc. A unique twist to an otherwise pretty mundane platforming game.
The bad: Buggy. You spend your time building a robot - yet what's the robot for? I never got all the robot pieces, so I guess I'll never know. Little disappointing.
The ugly: The music is horrible. I get the stark music to complement the scenes but that's not motivating me to "Play Moar."
Overall: One new idea to an unfinished garden variety platformer. Yawn.
