As expected, a superb point and click by Hyptosis, I look forward to a sequel.
Reviews for "Gearlock: Episode 1"
My god where do i begin. i love your artwork and the story was awesome, but the music made me want to stab my eyes out. then the lag issue started getting on my nerves and after the third or fourth time i went around in circles cause i couldnt go anywhere i decided to give up. A for effort though. LOVED Hood and Alice though.
game was completely unplayable due to tremendous LAAAAAAAAG. OMFG... it was like watching really bad stop motion animation. The cursor would only move about every 4 seconds, making pipe placement impossible. Graphics looked good, and I was interested in the story line, but without being able to play, none of that matters.
Very good just not enoguht and episode 2 isnt out yet D:
Still all stars for you mate cheers :D
Game was nicely made even tho short and makes me have a want to know the story behind everything :P
Aside from the lag after fitting the pipes it was pretty darn good. The music is a perfect fit for the pirate-y steampunkish style of the ship and crew.
Artwork is top-notch. The blending of color and shading style fits the genera just right.
The bit at the beginning where you shoot down enemy airships could have been extended and perhaps made a tad more challenging and/or required a bit of intuitive thinking/problem solving ability like having to figure out just where to hit them to bring them down or something.
I wouldn't go overboard with that though since you don't want the first-time players to get stuck and discouraged before the find their feet.
The little snarky comments when you click on random background items are hillarious and help keep the whole thing fun, light, and interesting.
Like everyone else I'm jonesing for a sequal. Pretty pleeeez wif sugar?
Also, Abbey is somehow adorable despite looking like she could kick the living crap outta me. :)
