dfragmente
Play as ALAN, a robot built from 1980's computer parts, as he navigates his way through a dangerous laboratory in the platformer dfragmente by Hexdie.
If you play like me with using the browser zoom to make the game bigger, then the right side of the board might not be showing. I had to reset my zoom, then CTRL-F5 reload and only then was I able to see the complete room with another door on the very right of the game field. (I could zoom in again and that works now)
Boring and far too easy. I stayed with it hoping it would get better, but even after the "glitch" it was still just the same easy jumps, easy enemies, etc. -- just with more interesting backgrounds.
And that ending? Just . . . bad.
(I'm bummed because I REALLY like platformers, too. I was hoping for good things from this one.)
I did notice something on a second playthrough(after that first ending, I had to try again to see if there was a better one) if ALAN sits idle for a bit, his screen/face changes into a game of Pong.
aaagghhh! It's like reliving my worst 80's arcade nightmares. Those stupid floating platforms and having to jump while on them. I never could master those. I'll have to snag one of my kids to do those levels for me! ;) Fun game, Bart!
Better a late answer than no answer. ;D Thanks Bart and Ruud! Finally it was a problem with the zoom. I couldn't see the right side of the board. Now I will try again.
I like the game and its concept :D Now I do wonder when ALAN was being really slow in one part of the game, if it was my laptop being stupid (it does that occassionally and drastically lowers the frame rate and stuff), or if it was part of the game... x3
First. :-)
ReplyDeleteBut I am too stupide to open the door... Nothing happens if I use "S" or "arrow down".
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
Take the other doors first, you need to find a keycard to enter locked doors, cheers!

ReplyDeleteA good platformer, but the ending was a bit disappointing.
