Reviews for "Sideways"

Unnecessary difficult

There are games that I have played that are difficult. Then there are games that are unnecessarily difficult. Your game would be categorized with "Unnecessarily Difficult."

The most notable thing that I disliked the most were the levels. While they were fun and innovative, I disliked falling into a bottomless pit and falling to my death. Why didn't you add barriers around the levels so that if I fall, I can easily recover back to finding the Exit?Instead, it demands using lots (and I mean LOTS) of memorization and time to navigate myself through a certain level. Sometimes a level takes me 15 seconds to complete, other times it takes me 15 minutes.

Another thing that sort of bugged was the gameplay. The protagonist's jump seemed really flawed to me, as I would input the command and she would jump about 2 seconds later. While 2 seconds doesn't seem like a lot, it is when your at key moments in the game when a single jump would either mean you reach the Exit or fall into a bottomless pit.
And one of the most highly annoying things about the gameplay is the fact that I cannot rotate the level while my character is jumping. I cannot express how much easier and more enjoyable the game would be if I were able to rotate the stage while jumping. Instead, im stuck with waiting at an edge's platform holding the left key, hoping I don't end up landing in a (surprise) bottomless pit for the umpteenth time.

And please dont get me started on the medals. I find it difficult for others to get medals such as "Super Hero". Seriously, how is anyone supposed to complete this game without dying?!? Some of the other medals like "Just made it" seem tacked on. Why not include more medals for dying and rotations, since these are the only things I've been able to accomplish.

While I may seem harsh in rating your game, please remember that I am pointing out the flaws that I (and many others) have possibly ran into. There are some positive things about your game, such as the innovative levels, the excellent programming by TrueDarkness, and the fabulous art by Luis. I even liked the soundtrack, it sounded like I was listening to a Babyface album!

Please fix some (if not all) of the above stated problems. I want you to do well, I really do. This game has lots of potential, and by far better than most games that most users submit. Maybe then you'll be on the front page again and instead of giving you a 6/10, I'll be giving you a 10/10!
