game design
overall enjoyment

the final score will be based off the average score

flowlab.io/game/play/1095375

If you had not played it before, this is a story-based game, so there is no enemies though have an attack (space bar). You are supposed to try to get as much information as possible and go through the story of Antony. You won’t any luck in this game, so please, enjoy!

@rcreger ok it will only take a little bit!

Okay, thanks!

Hey, I had to quickly fix some things that I fixed a while ago that for some reason reappeared. They are fixed now, so you should try replaying it as the things I fixed may still be the same for you. Thanks!

First of all Thank you @rcreger for letting me review this game. TO THE REVIEW!

Artwork 7/10 all the artwork is great but nothing contrasts well his the ground sprite, the waterfall sprite and the tree sprite i especially love the king sprite.

Sound design 8/10 the games song is amazing the problem is whenever i boot the game the game plays it on top of eachother making it very hard to not hurt your ears

Game design 5/10 its very repetitive with you only mostly seeing grass killed grass and little puddles through out the game

overall enjoyment 9/10 it gave me the feels when (spoiler alert) he dies but the game conveys its style of gameplay well you fell like your in a medieval world with a child who wants to avenge his dad and the books ad a lot

Stuff to make it better: make more stuff you can click on those really started to immerse me. change the dirt sprite PLEASE it looks great but it just. wont. CONTRAST. And also try to make the song not play on top of itself
its a 7.5 even though technically its a 7.25 see you guys in a bit!

The song thing should already be fixed, as it works for me now. Is it the song in the start up, menu, game, dying level, or the last scene? And I honestly did not like the dirt much, either. It was a suggestion from another review, but I will try to make it look better. Do you want it to be more realistic, less realistic, whichever you think is better. I’m not sure what you mean that it won’t contrast, as that would mean it will show differently compared to everything else. But thanks for the review! Good luck for the others!

@rcreger the music problem is in the adventure. I like the 8-ish bit style of the rest of the game so less realistic. By contrast i meant they dont blend well

I am not experiencing any problems with the music… Do you mean you do not like it?

And I also changed the look of the dirt, so it should look a bit better.

@rcreger the music bug is good now :slight_smile: try to make the dirt a little tiny bit more pixelated

Artwork 8/10 Although this game is mostly black and white the enemy’s are mostly very visible is fast paced moments and i really love the idea of taking other people’s characters and putting them in another game

Sound design 7.5/10 The option to change the songs is great! but some of the songs don’t fit in and make it feel more slow paced.

Game design 7.5/10 The randomly generated parts are great but put more variety in the game. I also found some parts appearing less than others.

Overall enjoyment 7.5 This game is great don’t get me wrong i would get it on my phone if i could but i did experience two bugs. First i started out with the zombie surfer from “zombie beach party”. I did rally enough points to get a new character so i got the star blast 3 spaceship and it wouldn’t appear i tried everything but i could only play as the zombie.

stuff to make it better: fix the bugs, change all the music except for battle 8 (i cant guarantee you find some fast beat music but definatly check this site out http://soundimage.org/ ) and add a couple more obstacles to generate!

overall score 7.75-8/10

@lolpinkshep
oops, I left the zombie character on, I was showing a friend and left it on. It’s fixed now, so if you go back to the store and select the first character, that should fix it. The Starblast character should still be unlocked if you bought it.

The appearance of harder obstacles appearing later in the game was done on purpose, it challenging to jump the block & bird combo at a slower speed.

The music is temporary, I plan to change most of the music when I get the Indie account, I’m just using different music available in Flowlab.

with that fixed, let me know how it is now.
What are some obstacles do you have in mind? I’m open to suggestions.

@“JR 01” You dont need an indie account for music check my game out for example i used only sound effects by flowlab but all the music by http://soundimage.org/ and for an other obstacle you could add a pedestrian a pothole a cone idk.

Most of the hazards can be use like the block hazard, though that does give me the thought to change how it looks the make it feel like tgere are more in the game.

Loading music from url isn’t the quickest, but I am wanting to replace the music soon. What are some specific music from the site would be good for the game? I’ll try to add them.
