This has the rather strange quality of being both very funny and very wrong at the same time. Rather fun, even if the levels are a bit easy. Theres quite a bit of variety in the sound and graphics too. Would have been nice to have a few more obstacles to avoid in the levels perhaps and the theme isn't over used.
Er, I have no idea what I'm supposed to do with this - I can't seem to figure out the controls or the aim at all. Also it gives me a nasty none-titlebared display in the top corner of the screen which is just irritating.
Now this one is just weird. On a technical level it all looks rather slick, and controlling the creature is quite fluid. The gameplay is quite unusual too and fits the theme well. However it's all a bit slow, and I still havn't figured out what the blue arms are supposed to do. Graphics are functional but still strangely attractive. I'd really like to see this evolve into a full game - there seems to be lots of potential in it.
After I'd got past the initial "WTF am I doing?" this wasn't too bad. It's a little slow for my taste but I still wanted to complete a few levels, so it's got quite a one-more-go factor to it. Graphics are nice and organic too, and it uses the theme well. However the red on black text is *really* difficult to read which is a shame as you really do have to pay attention to all the (rather long) text.
This is rather nicely presented with good graphics, and is smooth and bug free too. The gameplay is an interesting mix between a platformer and a puzzle game and quite fun to play. Unfortunately I found it rather frustrating - the controls make movement harder than it should be, and you really need to be able to see more of the level below you. A few easier levels to start with would be good too - I couldn't get past the second level. Placeholder - Fun=X Innovation=X Production=X Graphics=X Sound=X
It's rare to see a game actually use sound as a gameplay element, so this is quite interesting to start with. The theme is used pretty well with the growing crowd, vines and exit. I found it a bit easy - the difficulty curve could do with being a little steeper but then I like these kinds of games to be quite hard. Working menus and a help page are always welcome too. Ran smooth and the controls were nice and responsive too.
