Reviews for Exorbis

[Bezman]

Game of the year so far.

Even if the idea was unoriginal, to take it from your inspiration and come out with all these excellently varied levels is great work.

You've done great legwork here and made a great game thanks to all that hard slog. I hope it gets the recognition it deserves.

I honestly don't think level 26 can be done. I don't see any way to slot in the blues to the bottom of the 2 central sliders as the bottom slot of those sliders never gets as high up as a horizontal slider.

I reckon you should record it with some screencapturing program (just doing the blues on level 26). Until then, I refuse to believe you.

Again, I don't think level 28 can be done. I can get every piece in apart from the bottom one. Again, I don't think the vertical slider comes up far enough relative to the horizontal ones and won't believe it's possible until I see someone else at least placing the bottom piece.

I find it surprising that there's only 2 other scores on the scoreboard. Mebbe you could add a link to submit scores on the score-board screen after each level? Might encourage folk to submit...

It's a well designed, enjoyable game.

That I've played it so many times and that it remains interesting is testament to the excellence of the original idea and also the execution.

Mechanics: solid and understandable, catering for a high ceiling of skill, as all games should
conveying of info: clear and uncluttered
dressing: minimal but clean and pretty

I'm eagerly awaiting the production of the sequel, with immobile obstacles and where I'm the co-level designer. ;-)

I'm sure I'll replay this before then though - the challenge is pure and good.

If it had been released like this 12 hours and 40 minutes earlier, I would cry, "GAME OF THE MONTH!"

People have been saying the idea is unorginial, and yet I haven't seen any other games like this, could you point me towards one? (Not meaning to sound acccusative!) Remember, you've been a great help in the production of this game too; half the game's features would not be there if it wasn't for you. And levels 26 and 28 ARE DEFINATELY POSSIBLE. I just recorded a video of it, PM me your email address and I'll send it to you!

Two other sites have already requested to host this game, so I'd imagine those high-score boards will fill up fairly quickly.

Again, thank you sooo much for all the luff and support! And if you're seriously up to it, I'll gladly work with you to produce a sequel :)
I'm interested to know how I could improve the graphics/dressing though. I was thinking, probably more shinyness and a few particle effects? Wasn't sure how to implement it though.

Good game

I think it was pretty good. It was a little hard though, you'd need very good logic to figure this out! Good job though!

Nice game

The game is a very simple piece of flash. I know you've got a little glitch with the tail on the g of 'Loading', but can probably fix that easier.

I'd suggest a way to take it further would be to make the game board bigger and include more levels. You can update the graphics, make them look less cartoon-esque for example.

Maybe you could add traps - pitfalls (fall in and lose the level); lazers (periodically shoot an area of the board); Robots (run around a pre-set area, killing the balls)

This is a very good puzzle game, I think you can take this further.

Thanks for the review.
In the sequal I'm making, the game board is going to be bigger in some levels, as you suggested. There will also (hopefully) be at least twice as many levels, with a level creator to give unlimited possibilities.
How would you suggest I make make the graphics 'less cartoon-esque'?
The traps you suggested are cool ideas, however, I don't think they would really fit into the puzzle genre, it would make the game turn into more of an action/defense game. Although, the new mini-game in the sequel might allow for these traps.
Thanks for the review!
