Good game
But creepy.
Reviews for "Thoreau"
It needs a lot of work
This game has great graphics and sound. The traps, however, are very poorly constructed. There are a lot of bugs, where traps will kill you after being constructed (as you already know). On top of that, your sight ability usually doesn't tell you where the trap is coming from. This results in this being one of those games where the only way to beat it is to memorize the whole level, which is annoying because you gave the player an ability that becomes pretty much useless...
WTF!?!?!
fix the rock traps! if they miss, they still kill you if you try to jump on top of them!!!
Good but...
You need to give players some kind of an assosiation between certain sounds and certain actions. For example, when I heard the squeak signaling an arrow, I ducked, then it came from the ceiling. Then I was completely confused when I heard the next arrow, even though it came from the side, causing me to freeze and get shot. Maybe that's what you intended, but it's not very appriciated and it leaves players with very little confidence, making the game less fun. The best way to go about it seemed to be trial and error, which is nowhere near ideal. It's good that you want players to figure things out for themselves, but you have to give them the tools to do so.
amazing game
the game was very well made other then a couple glitches here and there but thats all part of making a game
p.s. the music creeped me out
