Reviews for Clarence's Big Chance

Really Good!

What a fantastic little game! I intended to have a quick play before doing something else but found myself glued to the game for about 40 minutes. It reminds me a little bit of the old eighties platformer Jet Set Willy (main character having to go around a massive house, with each location named on the screen, collecting special items and evading strange enemies). I can't really think of much I'd improve as it's great as it is, and seems to be quite lengthy. I especially loved some of the odd enemies encountered, and the distinctly British flavour to the game. All in all, this was a welcome surprise and so I'm awarding it nine out of ten which is one of my higher marks since joining this site. Well done to you Pseudolonewolf.

Great game, until i got glitched.

Soo in world 2 if you go through the sewers first and then try too work your way backwards you can get permanently stuck in the suburbs. Since there's an area that you need the car to break those blocks on and you haven't broken them yet. Furthermore you can't go back without breaking the blocks due too that one way passable floor. Great game, hope you fix this so I can finish it.

Pseudolonewolf responds:

It is possible to get around the crumbly blocks. I don't know which ones you're stuck at, but there are some which are at the left edge of the screen just left of the park; you can get around these using the door beside them.
There are others, on a screen with three policemen and two houses above. You can actually jump up through the floor to get to the houses (by jumping on a lamp post to get high enough), then you can get past the next set of blocks by using lamp posts again.
The last set of crumbly blocks can be bypassed by jumping up through a wall/hedge thing below them, which is one way.

Great job!

I really enjoyed this game! The music was great, it was challenging, plus there was some good pixel art here.

The controls were frustrating at times. Jumping could have been a little easier, and as stated below I think it would have been easier to jump with the up-arrow key, and interact with the space bar.

Strangely enough, I found that Clarence was actually a pretty likeable character, despite his selfish tendencies and unattractive exterior. But over time, you kind of develop an attachment to the little pink fellow, and you want him to succeed. That's what kept me playing for so long.

All in all, this is a great game. Definitely one of my favorites!
