Reviews for "The Scorpion Box"

The beautiful art, nice music and creative interactions makes this game fun. I found the game a bit exhaustive when needing to get all items (even if not many), but that's my rambling. However, I get a black screen when returning to the Title Screen, yet the Title Screen's music still plays.

Good job!

Tumetsu responds:

Weird. I tried to replicate the black screen problem but failed. Going to investigate it further though.
Thank you for comment and I'm glad you liked the game!

Got 3 out of 6 deaths, all the ways to save the turtle, and all the scorpion removal methods. Interesting game, though I'd like to figure out the other 3 deaths. Was a rather interesting game, though could have used a little more filling out.

You got yourself a good game here, short and sweet. I didn't find any bugs. For such a short game it lacks diversity in the solutions and deaths. A lot of the medals were too similar. Its the only reason i didn't give a better score. I was a little let down after trying to figure out every scenario.

Most of the time, you'll get games that had a good idea, but were poorly executed. This is sort of the reverse of that - it's executed really well, but the idea is pretty silly. That said, this game doesn't take itself too seriously that's easily forgiven. I actually don't mind the amount of possibilities, but I wish the outcomes/solutions/deaths were even more funny and out there. The Death/Parallel Universe/Alien ends are sort of out of place. I'd like to see endings that were more tied to the game but still crazy. Like feeding the scorpion something that makes him grow huge and break or you train the turtle to fight the scorpion in a death match. Things that are funny and related and avoid coming completely out of left field.

Tumetsu responds:

Thank you for critique. The silliness might be explained by that the whole concept came from a dream I had where I was in the depicted situation myself. (I used the freezing solution, but broke the turtle and wake up in panic)

You are right about tying the deaths into game might be a good idea. However, my approach was just try to imagine different ways to explain why player could retry from death, which is usually left unexplained in most of the games. Tbh, I just put in things I myself considered silly.

Notbad

So another fun and entertaining point and click game here the deaths are kind of comical, some added medal achievments would be good for this point and click game it has some nice graphics though and fun gameplay
