record tripping
Scratch your way through record tripping, a highly original puzzle game by Bell Brothers.
BUT! the performance was terrible when i scrolled with any amount of velocity (on the barrel level and beyond) so i had to hold the mouse button down the whole time to compensate.
any tips? is it just me? my computer isn't terrible.
Nice idea... the only problem is that scroll wheels are the thing that breaks first on a mouse. Mine usually scrolls a whole screen up when I want to scroll down.
This game has a crative gameplay which is allways welcome... the thing about using mouse scroll is really innovative, at least i havnt seen it before. The relation between music and gameplay is also a nice feature, thou the storytelling lose a lot. I spend a lot of time listening to the story before playing thinking it was important, but it didnt, was only as important as music. There were some minigames that didnt work out for me. The locks one was just a thing about srcolling speed, it doesnt match with "locks" theme. The train one, never got how to control the rabbits, and time run out too fast to get the last level. The belt one had problems to control also in last level. Overall: A great game!!... but there was too much work on looks and, despite it is really creative, gameplay was neglected... 5/5 for me...
I found that with the bunnies and the train part, if the bunnies dont get on the train, than look at the board thing and see what color bunny is supposed to get on the train. If a bunny of another color is in front of it, than just scratch back a little until the right bunny is in front. Hope that helps~
I think it's crapola that a scroll wheel is required, as I don't have one. Why limit the number of people who can play with a design element like that?
omg I love this one! great music and visuals!

I di-I di-I didn't experience any scroll wheel issues ... but maybe they should have included some alternative control options

ReplyDeletevery unique use of scroll wheel

ReplyDeleteone thing I hated was that number 4 was written "IIII".
ReplyDeleteOther than that, cool game.
