Scrollin'
I don't like the scrolling of this game, I can hardly ever see myself.
Reviews for "Strollin'"
Lot of fun, but
I find it rather annoying that the spike saves only last one round, then you have to buy them all over again. At least make it so you can only have like 3 or so, but you don't have to buy them every single round.
Besides that, the game was hilarious as hell
Needs lots of brushing up
I only bothered with this game because I'm a sucker for toss/distance games.
But this feels like a really poorly made beta. Here are some observations:
-the controls are clunky and generally feel misaligned with the moving screen and the frequency of spikes. Most of the time the controls aren't responsive enough to get you out of the way in time.
-the hitbox for coins is annoyingly small. Also, was it just me or do you have to be near the surface to get coins? Basically this is a disincentive to ever get high up in the air, which all the upgrades seem to push you toward. Doesn't make any sense.
-the art could use serious brushing up. Also, some of the animation frames seem sloppy, especially during landing
-the physics of running seem weird. Sometimes I start slow, sometimes I get a running start, sometimes I don't move at all. You start too slowly and accelerate too quickly.
-note the moving screen which everybody is complaining about. I know it felt innovative, but if people don't like it you should probably take it out.
-just coins? Could use other (non-upgradable) items in the air just to make it feel more "substantial," I don't know. At least different amounts of coins?
-having the upgrades say something besides "true" and "false" will make this feel less like an alpha build of something
-I personally liked the meme theme a lot, while others here probably disagree.
-the delays were annoying (after dying, scrolling through upgrade menus) - the whole menu system seems unnecessarily delayed
-goals would be nice.
Despite all this, it kept my interest for about 15 minutes. It felt a little unique, and was entertaining. I think if you seriously polished this up it could be much better.
Cheat Found
Few things wrong with the game, few may been intentional. Note I haven't finish the game, evidently I am stilling playing it. When using the Nyan cat the blocks at the bottom sometimes disappear, maybe intentional. Also Nyan cat price always increasing, despite usage. Right now some bomb blocks didn't disppear and have remained slightly off screen. My character lands on them, they don't disappear, and I balanced my fall to land on them nonstop. My distance and money is slowly increase while I do nothing.
I'm off to watch television while my score goes up. :p
Eh, not bad
Pretty cool, like the upgrades and the style.
Its quite a pain in the ass that you die if you go too far off screen. The speedy start upgrade had no effect when I played.
I also noticed dying a number of times when smacking stones too hard or hitting spikes with a bounce or two left.
