Reviews for LARRY: Big Dipper

[SOcollab]

Great

Great game, the music really sets the right mood.
Some bugging issues thought:

Too many "can't get out of this" moments, It isn't a skill problem because I can't predict whether the stones generate too close to each other and when. (some gaming in "Chicken Invaders" would approve my point)

The achievements window appear right on the character which is difficult of course. Maybe lower the timer of the achievement form or just move it to the corner.

Good job on this one, looking forward for more work of yours :)

Kicking lyrics right to your brain

Not particularly original or anything, but the graphics are good. It got a little too hard towards the end but, you know how I roll 420 getting all medals in this bitch. Anyway the game isn't great but it's okay PEACE

The game itself is great... but...

The game is great, as my title indicates. The controls are responsive, the graphics are crisp, the music is great and the gameplay is addictive. For these reasons, I've given you a ten.

But on a more personal note, I can't really like the game that much, or anything in the Larry universe, for that matter. Frankly, I'm disappointing every time I see something new has come out, because inevitably it's a mini-game or a spin-off. You created one episode. One. And while it was a good episode right after it came out you seemed to devote yourself to making spin-offs... it seems like your way to eager to mechanize on the Larry universe than actually expand on the story. You even plugged your Larry characters into A Newgrounds Christmas, which I found almost insulting, comparing them to Newgrounds classics. They didn't deserve to be there yet, and I think you putting them there cheapened the flash and was unnecessary self-promotion.

I loved the Paladin series, and The Composer was Brilliant. Why did you throw away your integrity? Why can't you let us enjoy the Larry series and THEN expand on it with pointless minigames like this? Why don't you let your viewers decide its a classic and THEN treat it like one, instead of just assuming it is?

This is gonna be rated a useless review, I just know it, but it feels good to get off my chest.

thanks

Look, I really do understand where you're coming from, but I don't think you entirely understand my standpoint. Yes, I'll take the hit for being a bit too Agee around christmas, but I'd love if you tried to understand a few things.

1, this is a mini game prior to a very big game being released, one which vie spent MONTHs on, which has a big story plot twists, and you learn a good deal about the world of karryon and what happens to Larry in his time training.

2, the so called spin offs are not in any way spin offs. They are karryon! My goal from the beginning, has been to create a kingdom full of recognizable characters with unique stories and personalities, and to do that it takes time, and yes every now and then, smaller projects. Rest assured that my next project is the next episode, of which I have scheduled months of full time work. Not only that, but I have plot, characters, episodes and YES games both large and small planned for a long time to come. I'm not just farting out material and randomly doing spin offs to make it look like I'm already 'famous'.

THANK you for your honesty, but this is me letting you know, my integrity is still in tact, a still have the occasional 20 hour work day on Larry projects amid the full time work I spend on it, my only intention to entertain. I have big plans, but it's a slow process. These things take time. And a lot of work.

Sincerely hoping I change your mind, weather now or in the course of time-
