This game should be extended into a full game because it is engaging enough to kill several minutes of boredom.If only more could be added to this game like a stamina bar to show fast the character tires out and if there was someway to fight off the enemy clocks(kill time,geddit?Ohh,never mind) and a bigger map and more items to find to boost the character's statistics.Good work on this mini game and hope that you will continue to work on it.
Reviews for "When I Was Young"
Ok this game is Awesome, But if you have short patience.....not a good game for you. Thank You for this good game. Even though it was created for Russian contest of a one week development.
MAN THIS GAME IS FREAKIING HARD
This is a pretty nice game in my opinion. I kinda liked the colourful graphics, even though the drawings and animation are a little bit simplistic. The music is alright too. I think the tune is kinda catchy although I doubt I can bare listening to it for long.
What I didn't really like was the "screen to screen" exploring rather than having the camera scroll with you. Actually, that in itself isn't a problem, but on some screens you are suddenly right in front of a gap or have an enemy right in your face. I think that's a little annoying and it makes it quite hard to time your jumps. It would nice if you made the level lay-out so that you can at least see where you end up and be sure that you can safely walk into the next screen.
Lastly, personally I kinda like how it's a bit on the short side. There were a couple of screens where I died quite a lot of times and if the game had been much longer I think that would've only made it more and more frustrating. If you're ever going to make a sequel I think keeping it short and sweet is fine.
3.5 / 5
