Reviews for "Becloudead - Christmas Special"

cons:
the tutorial is way too hard in normal/hard mode
the combo system is not fun and hard
there are no checkpoints in the tutorial
the music is not very good
pros:
the effects are good

in general:
some of these problems might be my problem but this game is seriously hard and not a lot of fun and i cant say a lot about how it looks at its between bad and good

We uploaded an update with checkpoints, check out the game info for more details.
And keep on practicing those combos!

its hard to even finish the tutorial. the combo is almost impossible to time, and there should be checkpoints so people can load up instead of starting from the beginning. okay game, just not my cup of tea anymore i guess.

It's a very good game, but 1 issue is that I just wish that there is a check point instead of starting from the very 1st starting point...which really sucks. make some checkpoints in the update.

I like this version of the demo! The witch thing that that throws gnomes at you is really annoying, I honestly thought *he was going to be the boss. A flying boss sounds like a true challenge to defeat, maybe it could feature in a future demo?, if you plan to keep making these. The gingerbread man boss is pretty good. I'd say it's at about the same difficulty as the first, though it took me a bit longer to kill. I like the thematic background and skins, though I wish I could get a Santa Hat for my character. Or really any additional skins.
The wolf enemy is tough, especially since you can't hit during one of its animations. I noticed this time that you can't jump from a rope and land on the same rope. You always drop down one. I would prefer it if you could jump back to the same rope. The zipline is cool! I curious how you plan to use it level design in the future, as this one was mostly just a ferry to the end. The health upgrade modules were an interesting addition, I guess it's a way to make the difficulty balance a bit more across levels?
Anyway, good game, and darn you guh-nomes!

oh, and I found a funny looking bug:
https://www.newgrounds.com/dump/item/e032c5a93b83c823bf72e249a74ce629
when I pressed left or right, he switched direction. I exited it by jumping iirc.

Edit: excuse me, I did not see the Grinch very well because of his impressive flying speed.
re: the dogs. really? well, maybe I wasn't close enough. Actually, now that I think of it, that's probably right. And that is the strategy I've been using, although I've been avoiding killing the dogs when possible. There not really necessary, most of them.
As for the bug, I haven't yet repeated it, though I can try now.
p.s. I just beat the Halloween special on hard. Those health upgrades are helpful!

HeadbanGames responds:

The witch is a he :)
Its a Grinch, dressed in a little homage to Freddy Krueger.

The full game will have at least another holiday nightmare in it, but we're not set on what it'll be yet, who knows, maybe flying turkeys for thanksgiving.

Yeah skins are nice and all, but it's not at the top of our list at the moment, we're focusing on getting all the main stuff done first.

Regarding the dogs, there is no limit on which animation you can attack it, the best way to handle them is to roll and strike low.

You're right about the rope, it's a regression from a previous update, it's fixed now.

Yeah the zipline is just a small showcase for the mechanic in this demo, but we obviously have more plans for it in the game's levels.

Yes, the health upgrade are to make things a bit easier, they are now also appear in the Halloween Special among all other updates and changes made in this version.

Can you share more details about that bug?

Really cool, loved the athmosphere!

HeadbanGames responds:

Thanks, I'm glad you like it, check out our Halloween Special too!
