blind platforming + no control over jumping + having to do the same level over and over because you walked into an invisible spike at the end of the level = 1 star
it really needs a checkpoint system of sorts or a way to paint a large area without killing yourself. plus the controls could use some fine tuning as they feel just a bit too sensitive
Reviews for "GlowPaint"
This game showcases the terrible idea that is blind platforming
Really fun! Reminds me of "Darkness, The Cage" but better. There are a lot of sections where you just die to unforeseeable traps over and over until the level can show you where they are, but it was kinda in the fun of it. Love that the final level was a remix of one of the previous ones, that was cool, incorporating a lot of the hard scenarios and gimmicks. Good work!
The game is pretty neat and all, but the platforming and controls are a bit wonky, I mean I've been trying to do precision jumping and no it doesn't work, several jumps are ridiculously hard to do, due to really poor collision detection, although this doesn't make the game impossible to beat but arduous and time consuming, as several deaths less could be achieved just because the game can't understand what length an input of a press is, I mean if you can't jump a single pixel by pressing d and space for .1 second or less... but some random arbitrary amount, and it not registering which input came first is really bothering me... I'm going back to playing games with better controls such as Kaizo Mario and other nonforgiving games.
Good work!
