[Codename "Shift"]

Even level 4 is impossible. Unless I am completely missing a mechanic.

All you can do is make a frozen version of yourself that you can use as a stepping stone. There is no way to beat level 4. I was able to do 5. Six was too hard. 1-3 were fine. 4 being impossible told me this game probably wasn't tested.

Primajin responds:

None of the levels are unbeatable and it was tested.

[You are here]

There was really no way of knowing how fast or what pattern you wanted us to click the big circle with to make it bigger so it was impossible to finish the game. I think maybe a tip was intended there but you forgot to include it.

tRipGlyPh responds:

No. For the ball is not intended tips.

[Alula Falling #4]

A graphic novel. Not a game.

JackAstral responds:

yes

[The Case of Scary Shadows]

falls to that common controls issue where he doesn't like to jump when you do a pixel perfect jump off the edge of a platform. just falls down and causes deaths.

i won't bother being all-time top scorer on a game that can't handle my skill.

ragevb responds:

I'm sorry for disappointment this game caused. Honestly, I didn't notice that. I'll try to fix it, but until then you can look on it as an extra challenge :)

[Adventure High Clean 0.21]

It's all dialog.

Also the key to spam to skip it changed from enter to space at some point.

Please allow us to skip all dialog.

Though I have no idea if what's left after dialog is removed is worth anyone's time since all I managed to reach was a part that had me walk through a very simple maze and then a combat sequence that was super ugly and unintuitive.

I don't think you understand how to color a UI so that it's not horrible on the eyes. All those yellow framed magenta boxes just made it look like some kind of flash game from the 90's with maybe some buggy stuff going on.

HypnoChanger responds:

Space and num-0 are normal dialogue advance buttons. If you hold Enter down, it fast-forwards through the dialogue; there is one point in the tutorial I had thought I'd fixed that the Enter key stops working temporarily, I'll have to give it a second look.

As for the dialogue; you could say the same for basically every RPG. The story is kind of an important part of the genre; if you don't like reading, the game probably won't appeal to you.

The UI color scheme was picked for ease of reading. The light red allows text to show up against a wide number of background colors without eye strain. I am though planning to include an option for multiple color options in a later version when I finish designing the rest of the UI windows that will appear in the game.

[The Aberration Inside]

You are to 3D what skutnik is to 2D

A master in his prime

Psionic3D responds:

That's very cool to be compared to such an amazing game designer. Thanks!

[Gold Digger]

Very annoying handling.

Force us to take hand off keyboard for restarting a level.

This is a 0 if ever there was one.

cyborgbuffalo responds:

Thank you for your honest opinion and Sorry for any inconvenience, I updated the game, please try it again to see if the handling have improved, your remarks and suggestions about further improvements are always welcome.

[Dead Detention 2 #4]

I will see to it that these submissions are not put in the games category.

I've been working on this issue and this is another lovely argument in my favor :)

0 because it's being judged as a game.

Maybe as a story it'd be better but I didn't read it. Because I'm not here to just read a story. If I wanted to do that I'd read a better one like the Bible.

JackAstral responds:

trololol

[Zombidle]

Lol. One of the ads it wanted me to watch for 15 seconds linked to a page that tries to get you to install malware. I've reported this submission.

edit: No. Don't remember. Sorry. Of course my review was written ages ago. Whatever the issue was, I'm sure it's resolved by now so I've modified my rating to something more neutral.

BerzerkStudio responds:

Woah! What the....

We use NG Ads system provided by their API, we'll report that to them right away. We all don't want this to happen.

Do you remember what it was? Maybe a screenshot?

Thanks for the report!

[Bat The Bat]

Won't even load properly.

I'd give you a 0.4 anyway. Unfortunately that rounds down to 0.

ArfGames responds:

That's a first...
What PC are you using to play it?
