Reviews for "Ascent"

As a game, its fun. But the message could have been something else, or have no message to begin with.

I think its unfair that people are just bashing and raging at you without giving you anything to grow, improve, and learn from. These are *REVIEWS*, not commentary.

To start off, I'm not offended or mad, so don't worry if you think I'm going to go into a hate session.

Message: 1/5
The message I interpreted from the game was "Society is being held back by religion". (I may have misinterpreted your message, but this is what I got from it).
But nonetheless, the main problem is that you're touching a subject that people hold dearly and/or take seriously. Please keep things like religious beliefs and politics out of games, it's offending to some people. People go on newgrounds for animation, art, games, and music. Not to go and discuss religion and politics.

Graphics: 4/5
I liked the pixel art style and how the background had things that you would find in that part of the atmosphere.

Mechanics: 4/5
It was neat that I had to collect things to boost my guy higher to get to the objective before time ran out. It was also fun to dodge the text bubbles. But in my opinion, i think it would've been better if they were planes, asteroids, balloons, or anything found in the atmosphere that can take the place for the quotes given. (I was moving to fast to read most of them anyway)

Music: 3.5/5
The choice of music you used was good! Fit well with the part of the atmosphere you were currently in.

Can't lie and say the game doesn't work, it works well and is reasonably ok. I don't judge on graphics but what I will say is that I didn't want someone preaching to me. Maybe this just isn't for me, but isn't it a given rule to keep religion to yourself online? Do not like, do not want. You botched a chance to make a game interesting without asserting some kind of religious message.

liked the concept that mans sins slow down progress, dont know if religious quotes are the way to express them or just your sins weighing you down. good game tho otherwise.

Thought it was a decent game, and then the symbolism hit. Good work. I'm not sure there should be a time limit though, I'd love to see what is at the top.

I felt like something was going to jump out or sumshtx at tha intro when it moved closer to tha star, i swear. lmfao
