Awesome game Miktar! You captured the old-school platformer feel superbly. Short and sweet, which I have often felt platformers should be. I just would have liked a bit more control when on the slope jumps. Other than that, a very cool and well-rounded experience.
Reviews for "Muu: Just Another Day"
I didn't manage to finish it, but what I saw of it was very nice - the style, the music, everything fit together very well. It reminded me of a mixture of Knytt and Super Mario Bros. (a good thing, BTW).
But as I said, I didn't manage to finish it. The last jump in the Ruins kept me trying for a while already; the first one in the Wastes was outright impossible. I tried for several minutes, then switched to easy mode, tried some more, found I still couldn't do it, and ultimately gave up in frustration.
Looking at the previous reviews, I think I'm not the only one who had problems, either. I'm aware of the ski jump mechanic, but I couldn't pull it off well enough to, well, pull it off. (Maybe I'm just getting slow.)
Fix that, though, and you'll have a real winner on your hands.
Miktar responds:
It's a tough call. If I fix that "problem", then I'd be fixing what all the people who told me they loved the game for its difficulty, thought was perfectly fine. Were you having a low framerate though? I found that framerate can make all the difference between success and failure in Muu, which is something I don't have much control over.
Really good game! Not this easy at all, but I liked it! --and I need some hint for the last secret medal. (PM me, plz)
I don't mean to be mean but the game sucks a little only one reason:
the jumping sucks i can't even pass the wasteland stage cause of the jumping
but the music it if AWESOME
i would give it 5 stars but the problem with jumping - .5
keep it up man
Miktar responds:
There is an element to the jumping that I realized not many people get, is that if you 'jump in' on a downward slope and then jump once you hit it, it 'flings' you forward - the ski-jump. If you did not know about that, it might explain why some jumps seemed impossible.
YES YES YES! mario can suck my balls cuz i won! WHOOOOOO!!!! i love the game even though it was suuper hard. and it was verry rewarding to beat it because of that
