Reviews for Caves of Yeragr

[patwotrik]

I do like the arts, and for some reason the short music loop doesn't get on my nerves. I like the music too. The fonts destroys the art however.

As cxhh said, it's very hard to find out what you are supposed to do. It's not intuitive, and overall the game feels quite pointless. And I'm sorry, but if the game is not worth playing it doesn't matter if the art and music is cool.

And your way of taking the critics from iTrap is terrible. Granted, his review was not constructive at all, but what's with this "make a game yourself"? You don't have to know how to make a game to judge a game. Would you accept that kind of answer when you complain at the work from a carpenter you have hired? And besides, how do you know iTrap has not made a game?

Sup patwotrik! Thanks for your review. My way of taking the critic was terrible? Maybe, but you know, after you spend 48h coding and drawing and developing in general, you post your game and a guy pops out of nowhere and post "TERRIBLE". Yes sir, make a game yourself and next time you'll know that that is not the right way to approach you should make in ANY game maker. He has not posted one on New Grounds at least, he might be an awesome C++ dev right? Who knows.

I think the art in this was just fine! The music was a short loop, but it also worked well since this is a pretty short game.

The player can only attack monsters when moving to the right. This is a weird mechanic for a game to have, and there's no reason to expect it, so it's hard to tell whether you did it on purpose or not. The space bar makes the character tilt, but I don't notice any effect. Maybe it has to do with the flying enemies? I can't tell. It's possible that you could solve both those issues with some instructions about the controls.

Brunodev responds:

Thanks for your review bro! Yeah the spacebar tilt is a more effective way to combat flying enemies, nice catch, and I completely forgot to add a tutorial about the controls, damn it! Unfortunately, the attack thing is a collision bug that I did not had time to fix it, I might fix it after Ludum Dare's judging period ends. As always I plan way too complex stuff compared to my skills on Ludum Dare times haha

TERRIBLE!

Brunodev responds:

Your review is terrible! Make yourself a game and we will talk :D! It's funny how all these crappy reviews come from kids who never made a game themselves and have NO idea how hard is to code one. But don't worry, people like you won't affect me and my will to keep making games at all. Have a good night sir.
