I like it cool music not bugged, nice fx and you got me with the PS loading sound at the very beginning
Reviews for "Battery Powered Adventure"
LOL. You dick. :)
Awesome music choices throughout. "With Teeth" wasn't my favorite NIN album, but "Right Where It Belongs" is my favorite Reznor song.
I almost feel a little boned by the cheesy last second ending. All of the intensity that you threw away with that move (I mean, yeah, I laughed) could be harnessed and used in a longer version. I stopped blinking during the sequence when you find out what's really going on with the robot. That was good storytelling, even if the story would've only been two sentences long.
Hah! PS1 Opening sound!
WOW! Are you F**king kidding me?
This has got to be the most inconspicuous art game of this year.
At first, I was appalled by the sub-par controls and movement, and the medal name seemed ridiculous for such a crappy game.
After I managed to get into the city, I started to feel some elements that can only belong to an art game.
It felt a lot like the art game "Little Wheel" which is also about a robot that fixes stuff to progress.
There was something that kept me going.. I had to know what this was all about.
The ending totally blew me away, I had goosebumps on my skin.
And I suddenly realized how apt the medal name was.
My rating for this game suddenly changed from 2 stars to 5.
Here are my suggestions:
I was stumped at the power box. After I clicked on the car, I had no clue that I had actually picked up something (the battery). There was no indication other than an ugly lump which I thought was a part of the robot.
Also, if you return to the train scene from the power box close-up without attaching the wires, you can't return to the close-up. I found out the hard way.
You could mark the usable items clearly so we don't fumble around too much.
Great work with the basic premise, although you could improve on the controls and visuals and make an even better game.
Cheers !
It isn't the worst game I've played, but it's boring as hell. The robot moves too slow and the game itself is very bland. You should have put more work into this. You took the time to submit this to Newgrounds, so I guess that's something.
