Why cant all games be like this?
Reviews for "Salem"
Quite the superb flash game. I'll try to review it without spoiling it too much.
Story: I wasn't told all that was happening or why, and I'm fine with that. If anything it keeps me more engaged in the story, trying to figure out what happened next. As well the humor was-in my opinion- quite good. Great job by OdellAtkinson on the voice acting there.
Skill needed: Not a whole lot. It's a point and click shooter, not a whole lot of expectations there to begin with. I'm glad you did not make the entire game a puzzle, but if you included more that would have been fine with me. On that note the diminishing light of the lantern only really came into play once, I'm fairly sure you know where since it seems you designed for that. As well I'm glad that you made the crossbow not be able to shoot in a complete 360.
Ending: Possibly the best ending I have seem of any game in quite some time. Sets up for a sequel (perhaps more than 2 regular enemies in that one?) without revealing too much.
My one critique I have is the text. When Anselm is talking between scenes the text seems to scroll a little too slowly. As well a reminder to click to continue might have been nice.
its good!
Really a good fun little game. I doesn't take to long and it's not too difficult, but it still can be a bit challenging!! Plus Zip is funny, and the music is really great. :)
This game is one of my favorites. Its short and simple but at the same time is fun and sort of challenging.
For the Sequel, I have a few ideas.
The ability to play as Zipp to solve puzzles Anselm cant. Or defeat enemies Anselm cant.
Possible secondary items. (HolyWater, Holy Crosses, Etc)
Instead of making the level go straight to a boss. Make stages that lead to a boss.
This game is near flawless, the controls a bit floaty but that's about it.
Keep up the good work guys.
