journey is destination
You are falling into an unknown world with many trials ahead where journey is destination, a platformer by Oliver Ross.
The challenges are well designed but the sound is dreary, as are the colours. If you're going to make a game that's likely to require a lot of repetition, make it interesting to look at and listen to, that's my suggestion.
I think this game is nothing special & kind of boring.
I can't really enjoy jumping from pixel to pixel that are smaller than the character. I also don't like the limited lives. I have no motivation to start at the begining after dying & play the same boring levels again.
I agree with Paperback Writer... I was quite enjoying the game, but after losing the last life the idea of restarting from the beginning just made me give up.
I don't know which put me to sleep faster the music or the game. Boring and predictable. I think I'll go and break out the old Atari 2600 because that is what this game reminded me of. At least the old Atari was fun. This is a fail.
Can't stand platformers that require perfect keyboard or mouse control. Too frustrating and quickly boring. I'm sure it's somebody's favorite thing, but not mine! Give me a good puzzle to solve any day.
I didn't mind it so much except the music and the colors just made it hard to care about continuing. I think I got pretty far, but once I died, I wasn't interested in restarting something so dull.
gave up soon ... not my cup ... thanx anyway.

I enjoyed this one, but not as much as I had hoped.

ReplyDeleteBor....... Zzzzz..... Oh, wait, what was I typing? Oh, yeah. Boring!
ReplyDeleteI'm liking this one actually, my kind of game, I like a challenge :-)
ReplyDeleteI liked it, but didn't have time to finish. Came back later and had to start over. Nope...not gonna do it!

ReplyDeleteI give up too...
ReplyDeleteI don't have more motivation left to start all over again (a 4th time-_-'')
None of bart's games are loading for me o__o
ReplyDeleteboring and tedious
ReplyDeleteWhy not unlimited lives? Way to hard for 2-3 lives and then have to restart when you die. Entirely too frustrating.
ReplyDeletewon't load for me
