The more I played it the more i liked it. The early levels could easily be brute forced but the later ones were much more clever.
Reviews for "Collective"
This is an excellent games; the idea is fairly unique and the gameplay is nice. Only a few things irritated me: 1. The games remarkable shortness. I conquered the whole thing in about 20-30 minutes, which in itself isn't a horridly terrible thing because you included an editor. 2. Pressing the levers could be remarkably annoying, and I found that trying to jump while moving was difficult in certain situations, IE walking on a bridge of your own corpses and attempting not to step on spikes. This problem is remedied with patience, however, so again, not a huge issue. Overall, I genuinely appreciate your contribution to the Flash Portal. I look forward to seeing more of your work. 4/5 8/10

I agree with everything you've said. The game definitely needs more content, and some of the mechanics (mainly the ones you mentioned) could use a bit of work.
If I can find the source (this game is 4 years old), and people show an interest, maybe it'll get the treatment it deserves. After all, I did go to the trouble of adding an editor. XD
very cool and instesting concept. Keep it up bschnur!

I'm glad you enjoyed it.
A very intersting game. The more I played it, the more I liked it; The music was perfect. Would've like perhaps a medal or 2, but other than that really cool game. Can't help feeling like there's a great story behind it that could've been integrated into the game.
bschnur responds:
Dialogue sequences and found messages were originally planned, and I agree that they could add some depth.
On the other hand - not to excuse the lack of story elements - I think there is something to the combination of dark humor and shallow plot we ended up with.
