:) sorry, you'll just have to keep battling at it.
good one
that was a very nice game. one word describes it: Awesome. this one had some sweet graphics, nice audio and gameplay, had a very nice challenge to it.. wasn't easy at all, but that's a real good thing, and it was a good time killer.
nice work on this one.
i enjoyed it.
professional
Good remake of an old game. Very good grafics, and nice difficulty level. Was big fun. The music was ok. But some more dramatic music when the time runs out and such stuff would have been more cool.
Good causes don't excuse frustrating games.
Sorry, but this is NG. (Nearly) everybody here is a selfish, self-serving, canniving jerk out for their own amusement. And so help me, I'm playing their advocate.
Blow-by-Blow:
Graphics: 8/10. The graphics on this game are very nice - everything is smoothly done and meshes well with what's around it, except for the elephant's trunk, which could've been done better.
Style: The style's not bad. In fact, it's a pretty neat puzzle - concept's been done before, but it's not TOO old or overdone to be captivating for awhile.
Sound: Top-notch sound, really. If it went up to 11, I'd vote 11. But alas, it only goes up to 10. I love the SFX, and the music is nice, even if there is only one track.
Violence: Alas, you get a 0 here. To be expected, really, since it's a puzzle and not a shooter, but this is NG, damnit. I want to see some murder! :) (Or is letting the crops and animals die of dehydration considered violent? Hmmm...)
Interactivity: It's a puzzle game! Of course it's interactive.
Humor: Not really anything funny about it, which is ironic since the symbol is a clown's red nose.
Overall: 5. Why?
This game is frustrating. If the time limit were the time you had to get the pipes connected and click ONE button to fill the pipes with water, that would be fine. However, you have to click the pump repeatedly to get the elephant to pump up the pressure, which would be marginal, and THEN if the water dosen't reach the end pipe in time, it's you lose, despite everything being fine... I'm sorry, but I REALLY do not think that we're on a time margin of seconds here, especially when the water's on the way. It really is frustrating, because you've really got a time limit that's about 10-15 seconds shorter than the clock actually says you have.
Matmi responds:
Thanks for the review. We ummed and arghed on this but we feel we made the right decision. The time limit is how long you have until the crops die. If your water doen't get there in time then you will fail the level, irrelevant of whether the water has left the pump. Play it one more time, you'll find that its much easier second time around and chances are you will make it. Don't forget you CAN complete the level even if the water is draining out from somewhere, as long as it reaches the crops too. So do that first, then spend a little longer trying to prevent any spills.
