I like a game that has simple controls and offers up a cool way to implement them. The beauty, as they say, is in its simplicity. I also like the look of it, like something that was drawn during school, maybe started as a school project and become this long doodle.
The music speeding up and slowing down is a natural extension of the game, but I'm not sure how I feel about it as a soundtrack, and it can be distracting at times.
Original take on the control of speed-in this one, you're controlling time.
Reviews for "TimeLine Runner"
I've played silimar games, but not one quite the same as this, which is nice. It's pretty difficult but I found it nice and satisfying when I got on a roll because of that. It's was good to include both mouse-gesture and key controls, but you should have included instructions for the WASD ones in the tutorial (I found them much easier to use with a laptop than my touchpad, too)
The music speeding up/slowing down was ok but it got a little annoying that it cut out every time I jumped or died, similarly a 'retry' key would have been handy for people not using the gesture controls - they're not a game breakers though, just suggestions for putting icing on the cake. Good show (:
not bad
I played this game for all of five minutes and I got bored. Honestly? It doesn't have enough to keep you interested in the game. Some powerups would be nice, to give the player something more to work towards besides a different scenery. The game also was not very smooth, especially the running, jumping, sliding, pretty much everything.
This would work, if it was totally redesigned.
It's pretty good, controls are good, graphics are simple but effective, and music is good. But a big problem that gets very annoying after a while is how the music stops when you jump. This sounds like a small problem, but it gets very annoying very quickly.
