| Dec 8 17:48:00 | 0000 : Press Z | The graphics are very clean and cute, and consistent mechanics makes it easy to understand what is going on and get into the gameplay. <br/> <br/>Being thrown into another level on death is a good way of keeping the experience fresh for longer, as trying to get past the same obstacle over and over and over gets old quickly--especially when the levels are really hard like these. <br/> <br/>However, the controls are way too sensitive and twitchy. Making any kind of precision jumps are pretty much impossible. I got stuck on the level with platforms going up and monsters going sideways. Standing at the bottom trying to jump onto the lowest two platforms wasn't the most fun I've had in a while. When I finally managed to get on top of one, I couldn't release the key before I was already flying off the other end... <br/> <br/>I don't see the point in getting back to an already solved level, as it's just wasting time when you just have to die or reach the goal again, and doing that enough times is just as boring as getting stuck on a hard obstacle. <br/> <br/>Overall it's a nicely designed collect 'em up platformer which I'd like to beat some day! | |

| Dec 8 18:48:00 | 27m 00s | HackTheSpaceCafe | A hacker game! I was expecting some password cracking and typing into terminals, but instead you somehow remotely control what looks like one of the survivors? <br/> <br/>The mechanic of order-collect-cook was easy to grasp, but got repetitive and boring after the second cycle. <br/>The feedback of the different actions don't make it particularly clear what is happening. Do I click on the icon and then wait for the guy to go over there and do the thing, and then click again for each time I want to do the action? Or is clicking only for moving the guy around, while he is automatically doing the things while he stands on top of them? <br/> <br/>After a score of a few thousands one of the survivors couldn't survive any longer. A message popped up "A guy is dying", but then it game over'd a few seconds later, so I couldn't do very much about the situation. <br/> <br/>The basic idea could be neat with some more polish and gameplay, to not be repetitive and have replayability value. <br/> <br/>The music however was very cozy! |
