Reviews for "Rivea"
Clicking just pauses the game instead of activating the bomb on Firefox. So much of the game isn't doable on Firefox for that very reason. Hence losing major stars in the rating.
Played on Chrome I was able to get everything except the game cheated me out of the Resourceful medal which I don't know if clearing cache (which I really don't want to do) and trying again at another time will get me that medal or not.
At first, it should definitely be placed in the "Skill-Avoid" category since despite the bosses there isn't much shooting in this game. You have to be very patient at unlocking some of the achievements and playing because with so many bullets at the time even with changing to lowest quality the game sometimes lags like hell, I even seen few times the "ghost" of my ship in the place in which I was few seconds ago. About the medals: I got (is it supposed to be like this?) the Beating the game medal after beating only 26 levels. I also wonder what the trophies medals are about (achievemenst, ribbons?).
Nevertheless the game itself is challenging and very good. Minus half of a star only because of the the abovementioned lag.
PS
Few years after playing this game for the first time I must take away 1,5 stars because of the lag. In the meantime I bought a new laptop and if the game's performance is still that poor it is the lack of optimization.
Not one of the better bullet hell games I've seen. My particular complaints are:
- There are no 'enemies' launching the bullets, or indeed any sort of indication about where the bullets will come from, so the first time you play a level, you can get caught right beside a bullet-firing point without any warning.
- The bullets often come in several very different colors simultaneously, making it unreasonably hard to keep track of them.
- Many of the graphical transitions take a long time to complete, for no obvious reason, which is frustrating when you know exactly what's going on and just want to get to the next screen quickly.
On the plus side, the graphics are smooth, and the music is decent without being distracting.
I really like the game! (I am ranked at 9, yay I am kinda proud of myself :3) So I spent some time playing this game. It is a idea that has been done many times before (dodging bullets n'stuff) , but you made a really nice "version" so to say. And I really like it when the controles of a game are relly smooth and you don't feel cheated when you die.
Great job!
