Purple Death
The purple abyss ate me... but I could not die. I had to refresh the page. But I just didn't have the patience to redo 3 levels. So I quit and wrote this review.
Also, you may want to provide captions for the video log parts, if there's important info in them. I don't really know, since my sound card fails.
BUT! I liked the concept! And the art! I'll probably come back and try it again another day, when I'm feeling less bitter about the whole purple-death business.
eh..
wasnt really that enjoyable. it wasnt hard so it just got boring
The foundation of a good game
As some may have already mentioned, the sound is the main problem with this game (in my opinion) - i was expecting it to have more dramatic music and more 'swift' sound effects for the characters (maybe having him have a ninja-like jump sound, slight tapping when he runs, maybe even soft beeps for the sentinels which patrol the corridors?) - that said i love the 'tom and jerry' styled sound that plays when one walks in the shade.
The video logs are quite a good concept, though they tend to get a bit repetitive, maybe adding more disturbance.
Overall the gameplay was quite good, i havent encountered any bugs/lag which broke the game for me. Some more variety in the enemies would be nice too :)
Not bad.
Could use some polish around the edges. Really nice concept and story line. If you fix the bugs you would get a 5/10 from me.
Okay...
This game did, as others said, have a good concept behind it, but it obviously was not checked for many bugs. Ambient sounds from jumping and stealth are indeed distracting, and visuals are somewhat muddled by shadows. Game is difficult in some cases, which is a good thing, but difficulties are inconsistent and often catch the player by surprise. For surprises, reflexes are key, and this character has none. Also, something that no one else has mentioned: Death by falling has yet to occur. I began this when I fell off a platform on level 3, and I am still falling through a purple abyss ten minutes later. Keep the game boxed in instead of letting someone fall forever and making them restart the entire game.
Still, better than some other stuff I've seen here. 6/10, and a 3/5.
