Keep making these games, I love them.
The challenge is amazing, and it's beautiful platformer goodness. You addressed a lot of my issues from the last time (checkpoints etc.) I think a few things have improved since the last game. I wasn't as much a fan of the physics on the ice, it felt a little "sticky" if that makes sense.
I know, I don't like it how jumping on ice makes the character just stop, but ran out of time to properly fix it. Now that Christmas has passed I don't think it's worth the hassle anymore.
Good
Feels like one of those games you grow up with.. but you definitely need patience. I will return to destroy you!
That's the spirit!
good
but I hate the last stage the boss got the ability to walk through walls :D
Good game
Lol i love all the people that are giving it a low score because they fail and can't finish it. I liked it, there was only 2 levels that i had a hard time on but i wasn't stuck on them for too long. The ice was challenging which is a good thing, and all these people crying about the controls i don't see anything wrong with the controls. The only thing i got frustrated on was when you drop down on those white things that disappear when you stand on them, sometimes it wouldn't jump but that was because of poor timing and being in mid air. Over all i think this was a good game and it killed about a half hour (i was half watching T.V). I will definitely play it again and hope to see more from you. I rate it 8/10
Annoying Or Challenging? Hard...
Its been a while since I got as mad as I did playing this game, and it's cus you seem to need to have fast reactions. And maybe even more than that you have to have the whole set of moves you'll do pre-planned, and prepared. One wrong move and it's all gone.
I seriously can't tell whether this is a challenge like we haven't seen in a while or just annoying because some of, the fail's can be blamed on the stiff controls and the annoying background. Like when you're on ice you can't press an arrow key without the ice ground thing throwing you as fast as it can into the ice-pointy-things ... and then it becomes just a race and you have to do things as fast as you can, but it's frustrating cus as soon as you pass one part if you stop a while and celebrate the ice makes the character move to his death!
It's hard to tel if it's a challenging game, because while it may need fast moves I can't tell it requires lot's of skill, it's more memorizing steps and doing them as fast and precise as possible to avoid the stalactites to fall over you or to just rush into the ice-bush-things.
And the fact that you had to make "z" the jumping button instead of just the upwards-arrow key was a bit unnecessary. Maybe a "coordination challenge", but it isn't that hard, it just becomes frustrating after you are already frustrated and want to play with one hand. But you can't cus you need a single finger for the "z".
Won't complain about the graphics because the 8bit pixel games are getting pretty popular (don't know why) and I don't mind that much about the graphics. Many 8bit games are pretty awesome despite the fact that they are 8bit pixel games.
What could I expect? It's a dangerous game. Let's just leave it and say that the game DO is a Challenge. Still, can't call it the game of the week in my opinion, but I did like'd it. It was the challenge of the day.
So at the end I can just say Good game and Hope to see more work from you guys!
