Reviews for Vexation

[Ericho]

Very cool game!

I am surprised that this did not get any medals because it's very stylistic! The best part about it is how well the stick man moves around. He just has so much finesse and you rarely see that in games. At first I thought I would not like it because it was too easy, but it got harder as I went along. The coolest thing was how everything was synched up in such a specific way. You had to really wait for the right moments to move on with this.

The graphics are quite brilliant as well. The green teleporter thing at the thing especially gives off a really good glowing aura around it. My favorite kind of blocks would have to be the orange blocks because they really help you. It's not just because orange is my favorite color. The sounds are authentic as well and the music moves it along.

If by medals you mean prizes/trophies then thanks. If not then I did put medals in the game but I believe they're still being approved so you'll have to wait and see. Thanks for playing and glad you enjoyed it.

a stickman and some triangles can addict

This game is not challenging. The stages are actually pretty tepid in comparison with true hardcore platformers. The fact that the stages are really small, often screen sized, collaborates to this. There is only a handful of obstacles on each, no life nor time limits. So the difficulty is around 7.5 / 10.

Things start getting hardcore when Silver and especially Gold ratings are desired, because there is now a very tight time limit and, even though deaths are allowed, they still take time to recover from. Then, the difficulty goes to a 9.5 out of 10. (10 would be "I wanna be the guy").

Hardcore platformers are all about control and level design. I had no issues with controls, and level design was indeed great - It has some sweetspots and shortcuts for the taking (for those bold enough to try their way around them). Examples include Act 2 final stage (fall between spikes) and Act 7 Stage 1 (quickjump to finish level in 6 seconds)

Contrary to the previous review (NeonSpider) I don't think that lives-only method of control would be reasonable because it would favor "turtling" instead of platform action, and would harm (or even kill) the premise to the game, which is VEXATION.

I do agree, however, that avoiding death in this game deserves a reward, or a medal. It is almost impossible to do so in act 8.

Nice.

Very simple, but quite nice.
It is quite tedious, but still, a good game to play.
