I came in with the intentions of just checking this out but five minutes into the game I was hooked. Really digged the castlevania vibe and the theme of darkness. Had a great time and music wasn't too shabby either ;)
Reviews for "Light Quest"
nice, but a bit repetitive.
This has to be the most epic and creepy search for a lost dog ever.
I really like the retro graphics, and the eerie symphonic music is so fitting to the atmosphere of the game.
One of the things that didn't go over well with some of the reviewers here are the controls.
I however, love the old school difficulty and challenge of overcoming a new control scheme. Whether they be slightly unresponsive and lagging, or too loose and all over the place.
To me, that's half of the fun.
So I accept the challenge and conquer the obstacles in order to find my lost dog, Ralph.
Woof.
Anyway, this is a great game, and I hope you continue to make more like it.
Keep up the amazing work!
Very solid game, the difficulty progression was fine and the hidden chests weren't too obvious or too difficult to locate.
The one flaw I found in the excellent level design was the moving platforms, there were no walls or indicators to show when they would switch direction which made puzzles involving traversing those fairly annoying.
Secondly, the sound and music was nice although I don't think it really fit the pixel-visual theme you went for. The evil laugh in particular whenever the rooms went dark or the mimic chest I found, sounded more comical than anything, but maybe that was what you were going for.
Lastly I was a little confused by the game telling me to press R to restart an entire level when I could just press C to return to my last checkpoint, presumably R is intended for when you get stuck but even then I wouldn't expect it to take me back to the very beginning of a level.
Despite these gripes, the game itself is excellent, the controls are fine, it plays fine, and the challenges and general concept of navigating in the dark was handled perfectly so that it was never frustrating to figure out my way.
Excellent work!
Mans Best Friend!! Have to go get him
