Reviews for "Down is Up"
Nice concept but the game is ultra very easy
cool game, good colors scheme, nice music (repetitive enough to help me zone out but also subtle enough not to become irritating). i like the minimal graphics as well.
one thing i didnt like (pretty much my only complaint) - you shouldnt reverse left and right when the gravity is flipped. it makes it unnecessarily difficult to control the actor. in limbo, a puzzle platformer ive been playing recently, when gravity reverses left and right stay the same and the only change to controls is that the down key becomes jump. IMO that's probably the best way to deal with this, and can basically work the same way when the player is sideways. essentially the directional keys should be anchored to the surface you are standing on, not the character.
given that i've played a lot of puzzle platformers that utilize the same gravity mechanic you rely on in this game, it's hard to be incredibly entertained here given the plethora of alternatives which are less finicky. then again, i guess this is what i come to newgrounds for lol...
good work. keep it up
it's ok the graphics are decent but it's too easy a puzzle doesn't take more than 10-30 seconds to complete it's just mindless playing
Well, i'll give it 3 stars, no less because it is reasonably polished, no more because there isn't anything noticeable.
But i have got a question... there was a special reason to bind the commands to the direction avatar is facing instead of the absolute direction of the arrows?
It's only my opinion and has no weight in my evaluation, you may say it is marginal and player gets accustomed after a couple switch, but i find it annoying exactly because difference in gameplay is minimal.
