Reviews for "Pause Ahead"
I bet that this was suppose to be a test for a basic platformer. then you tried to add a pause feature and found a glitch. you had some ideas and it became the main focus of the game.
loved it! reminded me of portal on how creative and awesome it was.
just a suggestion, but put it on steams greenlight and get this game shown to others. i'd play it there and probably buy it. awesome short flash game, but so worth the time
This is an awesome little game, and gets pretty hard after a while!
Very sweet looking graphics, I nove how everything looks, an adorable pixelated environment, but with plants coming from the walls and bugs, and plants that move when the character passes by, making this a game with a lively scenery. The music is also SWEET, awesome tunes combining the 8-bit style of the past with some synths of the present.
Gameplay consisting on puzzle platforming is not new, but in here it was so well executed it's awesome, that not to mention the crazy "pause" mechanics that add a lot of fresh air to it. The stages are very cleverly designed, and can be extremely, EXTREMELY hard at times. Also, the "replay" mechanics are pretty cool, I like seeing what I got wrong (and right) in each attempt. I also like how the "paused" intervals are skipped in the replays. Also, the boss level is gruesome, and that thing on the background is disgusting! D:
The only problem I found with this game is that I did feel cheated in a few stages, where I had to know what to expect before it happened, so I saw myself having to memorize certain parts. Thankfully, that doesn't happen nearly enough to ruin the experience. The boss level is atrociously hard, and it's the first thing that made me wonder if the game designer was japanese (usually only japanese people make games this frustrating).
The game's story is also pretty interesting, cerebral, playing with paradoxes, perhaps.
ITS FREAKIN HARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
