Reviews for "Slender Run"

Unresponsive controls, poor blending of graphics, and an already tired theme and genre makes Jack a dull boy. Seriously, terrible Slender Man....he could have been scary, I think, if the drawing was at least cleaned up somewhat, or given a more definite style. As it is, looks like stickman-version of Jack Skellington with a balloon for a head! It's not scary at all. Maybe if Slender Man grabbed the player when they died and carried them off or something....

And the controls....I think it's screwy that if I get caught behind a red box then my only option is to jump and roll (maybe, didn't get a chance to get it to work), but no matter how hard I tried...if I got trapped behind a red box, I got stuck and died.
And that roll doesn't seem to serve a purpose...I mean it's interesting, but so what? It doesn't do anything.
I do like that the controls are static and don't make the player switch back and forth between mouse and keyboard to do simple things like say....restart the game.
I also really like the inclusion of hi-score tables. I think that really bolsters the interest in the game.

out of 10...
gfx - 4 (poor blending of various styles)
sfx - N/A (I have no soundcard)
design - 5 (cool hi-scores, but tired theme)
gameplay - 4 (poor controls, bad physics)

overall, this could have been a much better game if it either wasn't Slender-themed or just did what it tried a little better. I think the design is okay, but overall this really seems sort of uninspired and I think it doesn't work, given what it does. Slender was never a really good idea in the first place, and I wonder if even the people who were fans are sick of it yet.
I think that your next game will be radical, but I sincerely hope it's a much more original idea and that it's a reasonable filesize, as 10mb is a very rude thing to upload. To me, it says you really don't care how long I have to wait to play the game.

Art was terrible, game was just canabalt but with less charm, and a name brand.

It wasn't that scary, THANK GOODNESS!!
The game was actually lame but at least i'm not scared.
Come on couldn't you think of anything new and original.
I'v played loads of running games like this before, the game is okay but you
could have improved it in many ways. The game isn't too bad though, the art was cool.

laggy and lame

You have no understanding of the Slenderman Myth. This game does not capture Slenderman at all. If you just made your own game I could knock it for its laggy controls and lack of freedom but because you tried to piggyback off Slender's popularity and didn't even depict the character or genre correctly I'm taking even further marks away. Firstly get your game mechanics sorted out and make your games more interactive with smoother gameplay and controls. Secondly don't try to make a game about a topic (ie Slenderman) that you don't understand.
