| Aug 22 22:15:00 | TREASURES | This is the part where I go through every category. <br/> <br/>Innovation... well, you have a somewhat clever boss fight, which automatically gets you an extra star from the base 2 stars of doing a platformer. It would be nice if you could use the treasure to kill enemies but oh well. <br/> <br/>Fun... it helps that this game is short. The (somewhat thin but likable) plot keeps this game intact. <br/> <br/>Theme... par for the course. <br/> <br/>Graphics... nice job. Stuff's animated, and I'm not trying to rip my eyes out. <br/> <br/>Audio... I must say, it definitely works, and the music's actually alright. The noise in level 2 could gradually get louder (it tends to drown stuff out), but other than that, just about everything makes noise. It could be good having the ghosts booing / bats flapping, but those sounds are a bit risky (they could sound quite annoying). <br/> <br/>Humour... not much but there's a humourous ring in the plot. It's not bad, too. <br/> <br/>Overall, there are a few rough edges (protip: try not to make the player start at level 1), but there's a game, it's got a nice thin plot, and it actually looks and sounds good. <br/> <br/>Community... well, you've given us quite a few details of your progress. That's good. I suggest giving out alphas/betas if possible, they can help. | |
| Aug 22 22:18:00 | 3m 00s | Duke Ludum Forever | No. <br/> <br/>Nice graphics, though. |
| Aug 22 22:44:00 | 26m 00s | Prelude of the Chambered | Innovation... kudos for doing lock 'n' key. <br/> <br/>Fun... I didn't get lost! Yay! I'm not here to play Super Bat Puncher though (it's a real game and it's better than it sounds)... thanks for reverting to the version which didn't spawn a crapton of bats. Having said that, the lock 'n' key aspect DID drive me to continue playing, though. <br/> <br/>Theme... you pretty much nailed it. <br/> <br/>Graphics... how do you do floor/ceiling mapping? This is one thing I suck at when doing this sort of engine. Having said that, apart from lacking y-shearing, you've really thrashed the hell out of the classic 2d grid caster. The actual assets look quite nice, too. <br/> <br/>Audio... plenty of noises. Could do with more atmosphere tbqh. <br/> <br/>Humour... well, pretty meh. Not bad, but not much. <br/> <br/>Overall... 4 stars. <br/> <br/>Community... doing a stream is pretty damn good. It would be nice if you were listening to suggestions on e.g. Twitter, though. |
