I like the look but it could use music and maybe sound effects
Reviews for "Wave Run"
The game is nice, goo idea, art is nice tho, but it needs better movement, it becomes annoying when u die in some stupid way
Love the art style and game play. I suggest putting in a tutorial so players can understand how to use the wall jump properly because it kept messing me up. Also you should add a better sign for the dash, because I never saw it until my third play through. Over all, great game!
Its So fun... so clever... i really enjoyed this ! This is one of the best ng games ive played fo far ! :D
I really love this kind of game and you made a good one. I would totally rate 5 stars, however, there were major flaws that keep me from completing it 100%:
- The wall jump: It's terrible. I noticed how annoying it was quite early in the game so I just avoided it. But then (after climbing some screens) I went backward through a tiny hole in a wall - seemed like a secret by the time - leading to a very narrow room. Wall jump killed me. Over and over again, which made me want to quit. However, I wanted to beat that room so badly before ranting about wall jump. After I did, I came into an area where I wouldn't refuel and noticed that the wall jump was put in intentionally, as I had to use it in order to get to the blue orb. I played on, still hating the wall jump, came to a red area and suddenly the game was over, so I guess it wasn't that much of a hassle after all. I still don't want to collect all the yellow gems, red gems and whatever.
- Slippery controls: This kind of games is all about hitting the perfect spot. Making the character slide is just a cheap way to make the game harder. In the same room, I was talking about before, when I finally managed to avoid a wall jump on the top right corner, I had to position myself directly above the spikes, which killed me if I was only a tiny bit off. Acceleration is fine, but just decrease the amount I guess.
- Side spikes: Side spikes.
Other than that it is a well thought through game. I love the addition of such shortcuts that I found accidentally. I really liked the graphics, albeit sometimes I couldn't really see which way I was facing (especially after respawning). I also love that you refrained from adding a tutorial. Also, as I was writing, the music started after changing tabs, as far as I can tell after playing the game in silence is that it seems to fit quite well.
Please keep working on it, adress the issues and I'm sure this game will become great!
Cheers!
