Reviews for "Moby Dick:Ahab's Struggle"

bad

oh god its so slow

Stupidity at great..

hahaha it was fun..not.

I'm sorry, this is pathetic.

A long prologue, Ahab's spear to absolutely nothing, and he can get infinite-juggle-killed by Moby Dick. It even feels like I'm moving on ice. This isn't your best game man, try again.

Try to make it just a little more seamless in terms of taking damage and the feeling of control on Ahab. Then maybe this thing could have lived up to what it could have been.

I know it's called Ahab's STRUGGLE, but...

It's not very well made, I'm afraid.

Graphics are alright, and I did like Ahab's voice for the various quotes.
Those're the good points.

Now, the problems:
The controls are horrendously sluggish. Yeah, you're a sea captain jumping on the wrecked remnants of a ship, but it just feels dreadful.

The point of having a game with "challenge" is to make the challenge rewarding.
This brings me to my next point:

Not enough attack power from Ahab: too much defense/HP on the White Whale.

You want to emphasize the challenge of fighting a giant whale with an insane ship captain? Fine.

Do it in ways other than adding a "0" at the end of the HP values for the Whale.
Or give it weak points or something, like having it do more damage when you throw the spears into the mouth.

It was also sometimes difficult to dodge the Whale's attacks, especially considering how badly telegraphed some attacks were.

It feels like a joyless grind rather than an epic struggle against a force of nature.
Go back to the drawing board and make this better.

It won't load in
