Reviews for Nightmare B4 Halloween 13

good

Good concept, and good implementation, but the time limit is gay. 30 seconds (or any other quantity of time) will not suffice in allowing me to memorize an entire intricate picture. By the same token, 30 seconds is no where near enough for me to look for differences (which takes far longer).

It would be better to have the pictures side by side. My memory happens to fail after about 10-30 seconds, so the game is about impossible (even the 1st level). I know I'm lame, but I'm sure other ppl will have similar problems. Even if they are side by side, it may take minutes or even hours to determine small differences.

SecretAgentRege responds:

Thanks. The time limit isn't there to pin you down, it's primary purpose is to give you bonus points and bonus time for future pictures.

30 seconds is short, perhaps if another version is to come out, I'll up the ante a little. Perhaps this is one of the things that I can implement for an "Easy" and "Hard" difficulty?

Thanks for the comments!

Way too hard.

I agree that a game being too easy makes it less fun, but this game is so hard that it's not fun. I wasn't able to get past the first picture until I read the other reviews with the answers. Having to tell a difference in shadow is ridiculous.

Good idea, but it would be easier if you had both pictures in front of you, instead of having to remember things from a picture without knowing what to look for.

SecretAgentRege responds:

Yes, I can see if you are having trouble beating a level, it can become frustrating.

In the original concept, the pictures were infact side-by-side. However, there were two main problems. One was the size, with two pictures on the same screen, the window was huge, and the pictures couldn't be shrunk too far or detail (and thus noticability) was lost. Second, the level of difficulty was rediculously easy.

If another release like this was ever to be created, the execution will not be done so that it is this hard.

Thanks for the comments!

one,big,steaming pile of suck

really boring game (not to mention hard). the interactivity sucks since all you can do is click on things you notice different,music is really annoying in the begininng (thank god you put the on/off sound option).
