Reviews for "Fixation"

I can't tell from your review, but if you haven't played the original (Company of Myself), it's relatively similar. Glad you had fun!
Alright lets get down to business this took me a couple hours to beat so I want to be able to properly review it.
Good Points
1. Gorgeous graphics and beautiful pictures. One of the things that really kept me playing was the amazing storyline and how the drawings synced with the gameplay was elegant.
2. Realistic and believable characters. The characters were wonderful. Their personalities complimented each other and the aspect of real problems added a lot of depth. Someone obsessed with gaming and fantasy, A drug addict, Smoking issues and not being able to get out of a bad relationship. It brought a sense of peace and I really felt like I grew to know them.
3. Twists and surprises, I was not expecting what happened to happen to the old man and had grown very attached to him myself not to mention the main character...it was beautiful, sad...painful a wonderful story.
Bad points:
1. The level where you have no control over the jump button until your in mid air. I had issues with the smoke circles yes but THIS level was the most painful for me. You had the yellow circle behind a pipe which made it almost impossible to properly hit while multitasking by jumping in mid air and pressing the the mouse button at the correct time. This caused me a lot of heartache and I spent and extremely long time JUST on that level.
SPOILER ALERT!
2. In some ways the ending was gorgeous..where it showed how our main character passing. Because I had played the first game I understood. Although the way it showed Jack afterward still left me slightly puzzled. I understand he had issues with drugs but I really wanted him to see the realization of what happened.
All in all I think you deserve almost a perfect five. The issue I had may of been frustrating but it may be my issue alone and wasn't nearly enough to ruin the wonderful experience.
P.S
Personally if you made a graphic novel or even a short story I'd read it first thing. Since you really have a way with plot. Thank you for the game, art, music, life lesson and time killer.
I think that people need to be made aware of the double jump. I was stuck on the second screen for a while, until I accidentally figured it out. Other than that, this was a pretty decent game. The smoke effect was good. Now I need a smoke!
Excellent game! It overall has very smooth gameplay, though I've found that for some reason holding down the mouse key only works on my laptop's touchpad, and not with my artist's tablet.
Man that was depressing... Especially since I played "In company of myself".
Comparing the two, this game has a better gameplay in my opinion.
