awesome game EVER!
Reviews for "Swindler"
Great game, fun mechanics; but seriously? You guys still use left-handed controls?
Alright. So the graphical quality and the sort of "gloopy" theme is both appealing to the eyes and also follows the game flow and look very well. The use of a tether and the elements you could encounter created various challenges that all required different strategies, forms of thinking, and even different forms of skill to a certain degree; not to mention the learning/difficulty scale is great. Now, with all this said I can truly say this was enjoyable with excellent game mechanics and awesome background and foreground.
So then why am I giving a 3/5 if I have nothing good to say?
Well it settles like this. Nitrome sends out high quality games with great aesthetic quality, fun musical backgrounds, and various game types; but you guys still have very little value towards gaming with your control schemes.
There needs to be more options aside from graphical quality of high and low, there needs to be at least a choice between left-handed control scheme (arrow keys) and right-handed control scheme (WASD keys). Gaming is far easier for most people with the WASD keys. This is a proven fact. I'm a left-handed guy but honestly, I can't stand using arrow keys. You guys have released lots of great games, but people have been constantly complaining about no use of the WASD keys. I would be happier if you responded more to user input by producing more options in control.
Other then that great game, but I refuse to give a higher rating when this issue with control has never been changed.
3/5.
awesome i loved it innovative quick to pick up and go and easy on the eyes
yeah this game is addicting and awsome "thescaryman" is right WASD control is cooler than arrows...you know im a player so i like WASD controls.
Addicting and gets me all pissy when I lose, that being a compliment because it takes a true game to piss me off. I found that it would have been a whole lot better if their were halffway checkpoints however. I also think that if it had a WASD control scheme that I would play it a lot more often. The arrow keys sort of aren't my thing.
