on the flat field of a dream
There are no limits to a dream if you can control it, in the platformer on the flat field of a dream by Ivan Lebedev.
The tolerances on how close you can get next to something and not get killed were AWFUL! The controls were sticky, kept moving after letting up on the arrow key. And the ending absolutely sucked!!!
Most times that I died, the game would glitch. Twice I was even underground! Except for game glitches and controls, I think the idea of the game is very great! Very eldritch.
Okay, since I had to go to the walkthrough to figure this out, let me state it here:
When you have the uncrossable pit of spikes and you have to "Push Space" at the glowing thing? The screen that pops up is one of those "flowing water through pipes" puzzles. Click on them.
Would've been REALLY nice if there was some clue that that was what was happening. I thought it was a map or something and couldn't figure out what it was saying. :/
(And yeah, the ending sucked soooo much. The rest of the game was good, though.)
One of my problems with the controls was a little offset after pressing, so it was difficult to jump over a rat exactly. Sometimes I respawned in the middle of the lvl, sometimes at the beginnung - no idea why. In another lvl one time I was killed as a bird and was reborn as man, but some meters over the original position;-)
My main problem was that you have to release adn push again the key whilst movement, if you change into a creature. That stops speed an a little of fun.
Some lvl are very easy, it's not going more and more difficult. Maybe there will be another part with more/better ideas for the story and maybe some hints (especially for the end).
First!
ReplyDeletesuperlag!
ReplyDeleteboring, slow game.... didn't like it :/
ReplyDeleteA fun little platformer/puzzler, but the ending was a little meh.
ReplyDeleteagree, was fun but the ending? :(

ReplyDeleteFound it could be a little jerky - and the ending was indeed meh! All that said - I quite enjoyed it.
ReplyDeletecontrols very glitch and frustrating

ReplyDeleteSeriously, worst game ever
ReplyDeleteThat was alright? I liked the idea of the game play, except the controls were sticky. And I think the ending is a sequel hook?
ReplyDeleteIt was entertaining at least :)

Super bad controls. Not any fun Bart.

Anyway, for me it was fun.
