Reviews for Malle and Lenny The Game

[Arcticfang]

Oooooh, so close

This game has pleasant music, amusing puzzles, and a fair concept. Unfortunately, everything just sort of slows to a crawl in the game.

Not to mention that the voices on the characters fit very poorly.

The variety of play through the levels was interesting, but unfortunately some of it was fairly glitchy. The ball that had to be balanced on wasn't perfectly round, making things slightly uneven. And the tree switches that had to be hit with a hammer seemed to respond randomly rather than when they were actually hit.

Some of the puzzles required delicate movement to complete, but the characters movements were anything but.

I made it to the cooperation level, I got up to the part with a lot of switches and grates together off to the left, Lenny jumped...

Then he went flying off the upper right hand side of the screen, appeared below where he was supposed to, and when I jumped again, the game crashed. That is easily the biggest problem.

To the people who seem to be stuck :

I hate that spraying squid too, you can't get close to him, it makes me want to just smack the ground in frustration...

Curse that lighthouse, it is almost impassable. That *glass* top is in the way of that tiny tunnel, it seems like such a ~bring down~ and even then you've got a tunnel so small only a small bird (like a Duck) could get through.

P.S. Mybe it stinks for fighting, but a hero with a hammer is pretty handy.

I beat the squid.

However, by the time I had to jump on the little pylons to get to the other side of the lake after that part... lets just say by the hundredth time I quit. You character just slides around to much there is no real control. No control in a platformer, well let's see. Oh yeah, they suck. That's one big qualm. It really hurts your score. The controls need to be so much tighter then what they are.

The voice acting was pretty bad too. They all sounded the same. I mean if that was supposed to be funny it wasn't. Come on man. Other then that it was really shaping up to be a humorous and fun game. Sadly the horrid controls killed it.

it was a good try

good idea, decent story, nice try. but there were a lot of issues. it lagged. a lot. also, it makes you look lazy when you already got the green gun in the first level, then lose it in the next, so you put a new one in the beggining of the 2nd level. i also think it would have been better if the voices werent so deep. he reminded me of a midget, since his voice was so low and he looked ten years old. ALSO, the part with the candy cane designed light house. I couldnt get through the tunnel. it was dumb grrr pissed me off >:[ cause i tried like every possible way of going through, but nothing worked. and the floating ball was annoying, since if you step off and its still turning, you get crushed and stuck underneath it. ALSO, on the boat level, i got sucked into the back and i went offsceen. then i paddled super fast then shot up towards the top and dissapeared offscreen. then died.

also, a minor issue, but i couldnt help putting it in x]. on the seesaw in the training, theres that little chunk of something that is part of the seesaw, but i guess you forgot to cut it off or erase it. anyways, it pretty much just moves with the seesaw and it floats in the air.

6 (-1 for lag, -3 for major glitches)

its good.....

Work out the kinks and the game might be on the top ten, great job on the music and the little dude, keep up the good work....

Overall, it's ok.

The reaction time for the character is very slow, the controls are not the best, and I don't see how it is possible to beat the squid. You can never get close enough to him.
