Reviews for "Hood Episode 1"

Very good, cannot wait to see the next episode

This is an exceptional point and click adventure game. It is unfortunate that you had to cut the game short due to size constraints. However, if you are outputting this quality work, they might be able to make an exception for you. I have seen entries that are far inferior that were 15+ Megs. However, I don't know who you would need to talk to, I only know that it can be done.

As for the game, the overlay does not really go with the music. While it is a great overlay for old and scary games, the music and gameplay do not really coincide with the overall theme. The music is too pristine and bouncy to be of any contribution (think of off-keyed and slower tempo clown music), and there is nothing in the gameplay that would give you the shivers. The jack-o-lantern gave me the impression that you were trying to make a scary game. With traditional point and click games, there are two basic options, jump and and scare and the classic thats just wrong scary. This is a more of an adventure game than a scary game, but it is still one of the better point and click games that I have played.

Also, the font is a little hard to read. Especially the one in red. Maybe a border can be added? The choices you have are also hard to figure out. The dark red/light red scheme is difficult to see. A better choice would be completely changing the color when the mouse hovers over a choice. Spacing them out a little more can also achieve this goal.

Thanks for the feedback, I"ll try to do better next time. Tom offered to give me more space, but I want other sites to host the game too, and most of them use a 10 meg limit. I wasn't going for scary at all, I don' t make 'scary' games, I just try to set mood and create atmosphere. Some people said Alice is Dead was scary, but we weren't making horror games, we were just telling a story we wanted to tell, if it was also scary, cool. :P Thanks a million!

Love it.

The art is good and the story flows very well. I also like that it is a twist on the red riding hood story and it is enjoyable to see it from this perspective.

Hyptosis responds:

Hey thanks, some have said the dialogue is bad which made me sad, I wanted the Hunter's dialogue to be dry, like a detective movie, but not the other characters.

I loved it!! <3

I love the story line you have come up with already. You have a brilliant imagination. I think my favorite part was when the wolf stole the pumpkin like some weird...pumpkin theif. And good job on Alice is Dead. I think that is the reason I decided to play Hood. Alice is Dead was just great. Challenging! I see comments about the egg. It was the first item I found so I think it's kinda funny, But maybe a book about nature on the bookshelves somewhere WOULD be good. Keep it challenging though. Maybe put some useless books in there just so you have to look a bit. (insert evil laugh) Come out with the next part soon! I'm already addicted!

Great game!

This makes me fell like Sherlock holmes or something. Very enjoyable.
Also to the guy below me.
