[Asylum 2018]

few criticisms.

the art for your friends is just.. hilariously out of place. you have these nice environments and then a completely mismatched stock photo like it was out of a sears catalog. really dumb looking. absolute horrible addition to the formula of this game, unless you use proper art.

i got stuck fairly early and clicked your walkthrough link and it was just a trailer for the game. very disingenuous. tricking people into going to your site.

as others have said, if you purchase the crystal ball first, you can't beat the game.

using items from your inventory is a little cumbersome.

selfdefiant responds:

The people were meant to be how they were and the walkthrough link was messed up, not intentionally. It happens.

I click a tile. I drag to make a move. I change my mind. I do NOT release the mouse. I move my mouse back to the tile that I originally clicked. I release. It still makes a move and forces me to use an undo.

What the hell kind of design is that?

RealBeardroid responds:

I'm sorry I cannot reproduce your bug :( Could you send me a pm?
Try to reload your page to have the new version, I have fixed that normally.

[40XX:Fight the future. (WIP)]

It seems like it's supposed to be a great game... and then you can't see anything because your sprite blends in with the background and everything is so dark... which results in it being a bad game.

[Guild Dungeons 2]

Game starts out with a big interface and a forced text tutorial.

Two huge no no's.

Hyptosis responds:

lol

[VVVVVV Demo]

100%'d the full version years ago. Was fun to play this. Nostalgia to the max

[The Lost Strawberry X-mas edition]

definitely potential. but the deaths are too annoying. way too annoying. when the game suddenly spikes in difficulty, i found every death infuriating.

that's a mark of bad level design.

[Heart to Heart]

Kind of stressful and annoying. But an original concept.

3 stars for being decent but tedious.

+1 star because I'm extremely sleep deprived so, though I'm not consciously aware of doing so, it's highly likely you're losing around a star just because of my crankiness.

Call it the crank factor.

[Jet Boy]

You respawn too quickly.

08jack responds:

Thanks for the feedback! The respawn time will be slowed down in the next update.
