OMG CAN'T WAIT FOR NEXT ONE!!!
The animation was great, and the controls smooth. The story was gripping and made me want to play more. The levels increased in hardness perfectly and were engaging enough for me not to abandon them! Although I could not hear any music, I'm sure the sounds were amazing too.
A wonderful game that certainly deserves to be on Newgrounds! ;)
Thank you so much.
When you say you couldn't hear the music do you mean because you don't have speakers hooked up or is the game not working for you? If it's not working please let me know as that is a pretty serious bug.
Full five.
Story, Atmosphere, Gameplay, Skill increase (although the last boss took me about same time then the rest of the game :) ) were A+!
gonna search for part 2 now xD
Thank you, I'm really glad you had a good time.
I'm hoping to have part two up before march, and I'll be posting up some extra challenging lost levels from part one as soon as I finish putting them together.
the orther boss where rally hard to kill but i did finsih him later good game it give it 4 stars and i hope the part 2 are comnig soon :D
Awesome thank you :D
I'm hoping to have part 2 finished before march. I want to finish it as soon as possible, especially after the incredible response I've gotten. It just depends on how busy things are at my job.
I sense stencyl in you young padawan...
major likes:
-atmosphere
-dark neon graphics(hwo do you achieve it?)
-story
-characters both player and of lanntern(big likes)
-short levels
minor likes:
-music good to atmoshpere but not ipod material
dislikes(minors):
-damage over time is too strong comparing to direct damage one fire breath almost kills you
-when characters is on platform you are forced to push right in order to move with platform and graphicly it looks fake maybe giving while on platform and no input set x speed of actor to speed of platform?
-candles looks too much like needles so im not sure soemtimes
I was wondering if anyone would notice, good eye :)
Thank you for all the kind words, as well as the critique. The dark neon graphics were inspired by nes games, specifically ones with levels that had jet black backgrounds and who's foregrounds were a pink, purple, blue and orange H.R.Giger nightmare. The pallet of this game is pretty much built out of the nes pallet. Unfortunately the pallet has lead to some confusion, you're not the only one who was thrown off by the candles.
As for the platforms, I agree that they're kinda weird. I basically dove right in to making games as soon as I got stencyl and by the time I got good enough at coding to make conventional platforms I'd already built the game around them being the way they are. I like them as a sort of final challenge but now that I've done them this way I'm not too interested in doing it again.
Thanks again.
I would put 7 stars if the game has the song of Evanescense bring me to life or Linkin Park In the end
Unfortunately I'm fairly certain I wouldn't be able to afford the rights to either of those, and I'd just as soon avoid getting into any legal fisticuffs with the likes of warner music :P
None the less I'm really glad you enjoyed it, thank you kindly for the feedback and the generous score.
