Reviews for "[RESPAWN]"
Good
The idea of bringing around a platform you can respawn on and then dying to your advantage is an interesting concept. The graphics remind me a bit of VVVVVV, but the overall game mechanics are radically different and focus on more of a puzzle-oriented platforming experience which is good.
The music isn't bad, but it seems a little bit standard for 8-bit-style platformers. The controls aren't very good, but the puzzles make up for it. All-in-all good game.
Interseting idea, lacking in level design
This game is so great, as a puzzle/platformer. The game tended to have an odd difficulty curve, at times the optional coin was much easier to reach than the key to exit the level, but that was good enough, after all, It is a fun game, and some inconsistency is expected. That is, until level 19.
Level 19 really felt like a slap in the face. Not only was it terribly hard in a game that had been relativity easy up until now, but it ignored the one idea that the whole game was based on, the respawning. It was like playing portal, then instead of having a final puzzle in the last testing chamber, it cut to I wanna be the guy.
TL;DR
Good, until chapter 19.
Hmm... Yes.
A promising game with poor controls and few bugs. (No Offense)
How did you come up with the idea for this game?
And what message were you trying to get across by the ending monologues? (I'd especially want to know what you mean by "You Only get one chance to Respawn)
Good game, if bugs and controls were fixed it would be 9/10, but becuse of that I lowered it one point.
JonBro responds:
Ah, well, thanks for your thoughts.
To answer your questions: I don't remember how I came up with the idea, but I was probably playing a game with respawn points at the time. The message at the end was supposed to subtly imply that there's a Heaven and a Hell but it probably could have other meanings.
Played LVL 19 twice - to get good ending!
8/10 because beating lvl 19 was worth it to get good ending. Didn't have any lag issues. I don't like really difficult lvls like lvl 19, but, what they hey, burn though twenty minutes once in a while. Loved good ending!
