Reviews for "Wilt: Exordium"
You overdid the difficulty on that first boss batlle. Killed him 4 or 5 times and still not done? What's the point? Aoart from this, it is an outstanding game. Like the 8 bit programming and sound effects. The controls are spot on! Very well done!
It's good game, but a bit hard to me :P Anyway... great job :)
Ive been on Newgrounds for more than 6 years and this is the VERY first time Ive ever made an account, and Ive done so just to comment on this game.
Many of the games Ive run into are clones, uninspired, pointless, and bore you early. I found that this game was nothing like that. (Good choice on close respawn places)
The atmosphere was incredible and the small amounts of dialogue made the game for me. I was piecing everything together as I played and narrorating my own made up story in my head to make sense of things. From thinking I was a nam vetern, and how I would know how to use guns, how I reacted to my amazing physique (to wall jump and double jump) and how there were different rules of physics in this world, Resurrection, ect. The more I played and encountered the more connections and narroration would flow through me.
The games that touch the gamer this way on Newgrounds are usually way overdone and awkward in how artsy or how they handled the subject matter. This game felt like it was just being itself and I was welcome to come along for the short ride and journey into this amazing world I found myself completely lost in.
Ive never had this experience from a Newgrounds game before and I know this game has a lot of potential if the mystery and unknown are always present. My advice is to not reveal anything, if so, make it very questionable. Like backstory until perhaps the very end. This way, the gamer and me can continue to build our own story from what we encounter and it makes it so much more personal and immersive. But, thats just me.
I thank you so much for allowing me to be lost in the grim world you created and I cannot wait for the full release. (Also, the music was AWESOME!)

Thank you so much for the compliments, they are much appreciated. I totally understand what you found appealing about the 'lack' of a clear story, and I am really sorry to say that unfortunately the main game *will* have a clear and real story that will take away (mostly) your ability to fill in the blanks. I'm really flattered that you liked the game enough to make an NG account, and I hope you will like the full release even with a storyline that is forced on you!
Great game It had a Challenge and The Boss was amazing!
