duncan's trousers
Once upon a time there was an angry man called Duncan and one night as Duncan slept all his trousers were stolen by ugly green aliens: Duncan's trousers, a platformer by xdgames.
Sorry, but I think this is a terrible game. The controls are super slow and there's not enough time to get it all done. Level one was done with 15 secs to spare, two with 21, and level three was not possible. I gave up. Not worth my time.
yucky... very glitchy, and controls were slow. half the time I jumped and it didn't register that I had landed on a platform and half the time I jumped and caught a platform too high to have reached. With work, it would be a good game... It's got a funny storyline working for it, but for now that's all.
Yeah, I gave this game a try and I was not happy with the touchy controls(not jumping when I hit the jump then jumping several times when it worked, not kicking when I expected it to kick), the lack of pause button, and the fact that part of the playable screen area was covered by the info in the upper left. I also wasn't to happy with the small amount of time and the fact that when you get all the buttons the screen gets mostly covered by the notification. Also the notification stayed there for too long and if you were near the end of your time it made it nearly impossible to see to get back to the portal.
Those above things aside, I did think it was a pretty cool idea. And if those items were fixed I might give it another attempt.
couldn't find the portal or couldn't get on time on the portal, also that notice which says that the portal is there takes just to long to get away ...
FIRST!
ReplyDeletePants apparently aren't the only things he's missing...

ReplyDeleteI was just thinking the same thing. The poor guy is built like a Ken doll... :)

ReplyDeleteThe game has the Counterstrike 'I jump to be faster' syndrom. The time limits are stupid. A bad game.
ReplyDeleteYeah bad game.
ReplyDeletePlay timer hacked.

:/
ReplyDeleteAnd it's a time based game with no pause! :(
ReplyDeleteI have to say that I disagree. I like this game very much. I think that it's a fun game. Keep the great games coming Bart!

ReplyDeleteIt's glitchy but fun. It just needs a little work to get it right. Maybe in a few days the glitches will get fixed.
ReplyDeleteI like the story plot but I don't want to finish the game.
ReplyDeleteIf anybody finishes, tell me how it ends! :D
I gave it a try, but I really don't like the controlls. If the fixed it (they are way to slow) this could be nice.
ReplyDeleteThis COULD be a good game, but it isn't one right now. Painful to play, and not really creative enough. It doesn't bring anything new to the genre.
