Reviews for "Amazing Monk"

Well, challenging and simple, can be fun for 5 minutes but there is nothing to say more

Hmm, in terms of a student project game, it's decent: you kept the feature scope low so as to deliver a full game without falling into the usual trap of being too overambitious and never finishing, and while the gameplay design is simple, it can still provide an adequate amount of fun with its strategic jumping and dodging of obstacles that get progressively more complex. It's a good start with much to learn and create future projects from.

Viewing it without that student project context, however, the game is quite bog-standard and a bit boring, being very similar to thousands of other simple 'Flappy Bird'-esque games of its ilk. It's lacking any sort of hook or mechanic to make it significantly different in an interesting way (for example, the game could maybe provide a more interesting challenge if there were some sort of pressure that pushes you to go up faster, like lava coming up), and the game is a bit clunky and lacking both polish (in that there are elements like grappling onto the wall to slowly grind down that don't work consistently) and pizazz (in that there aren't many special effects to pep things up, and the special effects you do have, like the screen shake for every single jump, are nauseating due to their repetitiveness).

As said, it is quite boring in the grand scheme of things, but it's still an important step on the journey of game creation and perfectly fine for a student project: best of luck on future developments!

music/art great

mechanics/gameplay loop? -10/10

death almost NEVER feels fair. i'm zooming my way up and then i'll see something far in advance and somehow still fly straight into it.

the handling/mechanics are just way way way off and need to be completely overhauled.
