Reviews for "Pigs Can Fly"
Mmm, bacon.
I'm a bit of a rambler, and it IS 0400 after all, so I'll try to make this as structured and useful as possible:
~ Gameplay:
Simple, fun, and interesting. I would have absolutely loved to see more levels, though. It was very easy to start out, and got slightly more difficult as it went on, but I never felt like the game quite reached it's potential before it ended. There was so much that could be done with this engine that was only briefly even touched upon. If you make a sequel - and I'd recommend you do - I'd like to see a lot more levels, and a slightly steeper difficulty curve.
~ Audio:
Unobtrusive, but a bit repetitive. Given the short length of the game, it wasn't a huge problem, but if it had been longer the music would have gotten grating. In fact, I'm very much wishing for a "mute" button while writing this review. Always put in a mute button, or at least hot-key "m".
~ Graphics:
Cute, simple, but fun. I'd have liked to see a "cleaner" potion bottle, but the pig and objects were all well put together. The backgrounds were perfect. Both blankness and garish backgrounds are distracting. I had to actually look again to see if there was a background, and that - to me- is exactly what a good background should be: unnoticed.
~ Tutorial:
I suppose you figure it out easily enough, but you might want to consider mentioning that the cursors are all simultaneous. Level 2 confused me for a bit when the blocks kept reappearing after I dragged them away. Other than that, it's such a simple concept that I'd almost recommend not having an in-game tutorial and use a "how to play" screen/s instead.
~Final comments:
Gameplay was innovative and fresh, the context was goofy and fun, and there were no noticeable bugs that I found. Step up the length and difficulty: take this same concept and engine and really do something with it. The result should be phenomenal.
Thanks for the game, and good luck with your next one!
Needs better instructions at the beginning.
Would very much have benefited from something in level 2 explaining that a cursor will affect the objects you interacted with while you use other potions at the same time. It took me a brief moment to understand the fundamental principle of your puzzle game, and I only got it when I just decided to try using the other potion and saw a CPU cursor moving blocks for me.
Other than that a fun but brief game. Though this was sort of a nice easy puzzle game I would be interested to see the mechanics taken a step further in a sequel that provided a bit more of a brain scratcher. In particular more levels where the pig couldn't be controlled would be neat to see.
Good game but...
I think it too easy and I feel boring
Keep it up
almost
Concept: new and original, i really have to applaud this
Sound and music: Soft and nice for a puzzle game
Graphics: clean and clear and cute
Level design: Crap
Thats the let down, this is a fantastic puzzle game that has brillant tools but lacks and challenge or puzzle factor. I went through the whole thing in 10 mins. 25 puzzles in 10 mins???
I want to love this game, i want to recomend it and put it on my favourites list. However it needs to challenge me.
This game demands a sequel, this 1st one has proved the concept, and what a concept. Now it needs to be turned into a real puzzle game.
