Reviews for "Labyrinth: SoS"

This game has both pissed me off and utterly amazed me in ways I haven't been in a long time.

Cons first-
*I understand it is a randomly generated layout, but not being able to see where the bosses are when you fight them is kind of a big problem, especially in the areas that have the acid.
*Also, the acid itself is kinda cheap. Since you don't have a good view of where everything is at, a randomly generated pit can happen when you are simply falling down. Having to glide down and make sure you aren't getting hit is kind of a tedious pain, assuming you were able to get the glide item in the first place. Maybe make them NOT an instant kill?

Next, Inbetweens-
*The rockets are a great item to have, assuming you are lucky enough that they won't hit the ground you are standing on or fly over a boss's head when firing. On the up side, they can blast through the walls if you don't have the block breaker item handy.
*The enemies are easy to get by, but a bit repetitive. Maybe a new skin here or there with a scenery change? (That last one is really just an extra thought)

Finally, the Pros-
*The randomly generated dungeons are great for near infinite replay value. Maybe add more stuff as you go on to keep people on their toes.
*The controls are fluid with no issues. Everything reacts, fires, and works like a charm.
*The pixel art is impeccable. it is bright and very pleasing to the eye.
*Customized controls and very compatible with JoyToKey.
*My personal enjoyment is that it is SO much like a platformer version of Tower of Druaga (old school and PS2 versions combined). A favorite old gem of mine and this just renewed it in a whole new light.

Thank you guys for this awesome game, keep up the great work and can;t wait to see more in the future :)

Thanks for the great review. Pro tip: Press and hold up or down to look up and down. It helps you see more of the screen so you know what to expect before leaping.

Acid is a bit cheap, but there has to be something like that to really impose a threat when you're overpowered with all the powerups.

Thanks again for the review!

Damn reminds me about lode runner

:-D

Awesome game!! I liked everything about it, the gameplay, art style, soundtrack and creativity. The roguelike elements add a lot of replay value with the power ups and random stage design, and it have a good dificulty level!
You guys did a great work!!
