evoke
Evoke, a beautiful spot the difference game by Ronnie Pence.
I usually don't enjoy spot the difference games... but this was a pleasant surprise. I especially like the flying clown level. All images were really cool, though.
This is a nice one, not too easy (which is a problem in a lot of spot-the-difference games). And quite beautiful pictures. Just one thing was a bit annoying, the "skip level" bar was in front of a difference in one level. It would have been better to put that one in a side bar, and not covering part of the picture. All in all, a nice little distraction.
Mostly I like differences games, but not this one. I had problems with false positives, false negatives, bugs (an earlier difference reappeared) and lack of responsiveness.
Yes, the pictures are vaguely 'arty' but the game is pretty bad.
The game is really beautiful, but the differences were too small after some time. For example, a little shadow in the corner. I think the differences should have been a little more obvious..
Very cool. visually creative. music is a little spooky, but it goes very well with the pictures. good work. :) ps- there is an option to mute the sound- it's called putting your speakers on mute- just saying....
No "hint" button and I couldn't find some of the last differences. Would have been better for a little help...as Rava said, some differences seemed to be too tiny to spot.
Argh i'm sooo bad to these games >_< drives me crazy ._.
ReplyDeleteLast one always a challenge :)
ReplyDeleteI couldn't find the last difference in half of the levels! Some of them were very nasty!
ReplyDeleteNice pictures, though... not just mirror images as in many games of this kind...
Nice game. Thanks for this one, Bart!

ReplyDeletecute, but lots of the differences were hard to see

pixel searching. 4 differences is much better.

ReplyDeleteit's a very nice game!
ReplyDeletebut I really hate it when there isn't an option to mute the sound..

There is a mute button in the top right corner.
