Clean graphics, funny game, I just think that who gives you low star point can't play this kind of games.
Reviews for "I and My Shadow"
I was going to give you a 4 star rating, but all the other negativity made me rate you up. :)
It's honestly a good game. Maybe some clearer instructions, like mrfancytea said, and an easy 'practice' level at the start, could have made this game easier at the start. But I like the difficulty of the game, it's a challenge that really requires concentration.
The art is slightly simple, but very clean and crisp, which is good for this game. Being somebody who's not a fan of bright colours or clustered graphics, I really appreciated the art in this game.
Not the most original idea ever, but I think it was very well done. Good job! :)
It wasn't very hard and very short and the ending was week but I like the concept. Fix those things it will be good or me!
Interesting concept but Id hate to say it, it's been done to death.
Of course Im not saying you dont have the right to try for yourself though
Officially I would give this a 2/5 but Im giving it a 3 because speaking honestly there is nothing wrong with this game, artistically it sure is slaking though and this is not appealing to the ears either lol
So heres where I get constructive, put in a darn tutorial!
As a game :
It was pretty quick to figure out, but having a ' click to play ' on a keyboard based game with no further instructions is baffling. Perhaps have a push any key prompt instead of click
the controls are really stiff, perhaps you can add a momentum mechanic for this one to try and separate it from the others and instead of complicated jumping puzzles you can have essentially identical lay outs top and bottom, but have minor differences to keep your mind ticking. just a thought
Actually on that subject, Im a bit of a numbskull (like many other people likely to play this game), I got through the first few levels fine, but the 2nd one was a little frustrating perhaps a more gentle curve, but it could also be because the levels are kinda bleak...
I know as the dev you might not notice the frustration factor, I personally tend to make games that are too hard for the layman myself. and your score average can suffer because of that.
The grayscale is my only other nitpick, using sepia tones and value scales artistically is fine, but here I really feel as if there is absolutely no reason to play, visually it's not pleasing. I know it sounds a little out of place on a flash game to say this, but seriously, no collectables, nothing too interesting in the puzzle department and no real surprising or striking levels to look forward to, it's just bleak Lol
Like I said nothing really WRONG here, As a game on its own it is overall unambitious and unimpressive.*************************************************
With that said, I dunno where you stand in terms of experience, so I mean if this is your first going at it, bravo in that sense this is excellent :)
and on the bright side you got Front paged, not everyone can pull that off so kudos.
The trade off on being front paged is you will be more subjugated to negativity so don't let the negativity get to you. and if this is just meant to be a learning tool, it is a decent foundation for people to build from.
This sure as hell doesnt deserve a 0 vote, come on guys, this is a free game and since the source is open, i would say its more of a learning tool. vote on it in that regards
Hope What I said helps!
This is pretty much a cliched mechanic at this point. Not really sure how this got front page...standards are declining I guess. Not great, but it's decent...sound effects are horrible though
