Reviews for "Paradox Embrace"

Agh.

Cool game, neat concept - but I have to ask why we don't get weapons.

A lot of early sidescrolling puzzle games, such as Out of this World or Flashback, had no problem letting you use a weapon, and they were awesome. So why not this one? Seriously, too many Puzzle/Platformer type games these days deny you weapons when there's no in-universe justification for it.

"I have tried beating them with sticks, shoving them off into the pits, and even jumping on their heads, but there seems to be no physical way to hurt these creatures. Their howls echo loudly in my skull, leaving me a little less willing to continue on each time. Did that shadowy man sick them on me? Are they like him? What is he even? For now I will just have to avoid them, and see if I can make my way through this strange place."

There's plenty of items and abilities we have in reality that aren't available in any game out there without in-universe justification. I think too many games try to emulate as much of reality as possible and I rather enjoy old school games where you have to play by their rules, not the other way around. That's where my inspiration is from, and in this game I wanted a somewhat casual game of exploration and puzzle solving more than straight action. I understand this isn't for everyone though, and some people just want more action.

I am planning to make a platformer with combat in it in the future though.

Nothing too new or too interstring.

Sorry but i didnt find anything intersting in the game.Its just walking,walking,walking.Its a good idea but needs more work.

EntropicOrder responds:

If you're looking for more action this won't be your cup of tea since it's a game of casual exploration/puzzle solving.

hard

so hard did not pass the 7 and 9 world :(

EntropicOrder responds:

You did well to get that far. If you keep at it and maybe wait a while I bet someone will make a walkthrough that might help.

Good time Killer

I kinda like it. It reminds me a lot of Braid. The music gets annoying after awhile, though. All-in-all, it's a pretty average-to-good game.

Hmm...

This game was okay, but it seemed kinda boring to play. I mean, the graphics are good but the game seems depressing. The BEST game that I have played was Ching Chong Beautiful. But other than that, the game was kinda fun.
