[Hood Episode 4]

Ok got up to the second puzzle with the Sun to Soil bit... though not sure if this is a bug or not... every time I click on any of the runes, nothing happens. Unless I am missing the whole idea of the puzzle or my brain matter just isn't up to par with this. First puzzle took a while to figure out what was going wrong. That said, I can not give a full report due to unable to get pass the Sun to Soil puzzle, even the hints aren't helping me much. Though still have so many questions and wonders about the story or universe they are all in.

Love the art work and wish the BG music was a bit more consistent, the long silence periods kind of make me nervous and unnerved due to the silence and then sudden sounds. Otherwise, excellent puzzle game even if some of us are not good puzzle solvers. For me, this was more excellent in the story plot and drive. Sad I can not go further in knowing what is going on till I figure out that second puzzle! :(

Hyptosis responds:

Thanks for the feedback!

[Electrikill]

Still some bugs...

Oddly even though I not only saved up credits and bought the previous forms of upgrades, some of the clicks kept saying I was either out of order or not enough credits still.

Enjoying the thrill of shooting things down and the timer.

Oh and the images... DAT AZZ!

Are there any more? XD

VictorGrunn responds:

Not yet, but it's an eventuality!

[Insanity Box 2]

Ehhh No...

Controls were alright but the system itself kept acting up. Times when I didn't even start the game I suddenly lose or there will be lags and freezes for no apparent reasons. Practice mode was also horrible... couldn't at least get a feel for the games since I suddenly lose the moment I click on one of them. Button pressing wouldn't register either as I press them or some of the games seem to be rigged for you to lose regardless.

poxpower responds:

What system / browser are you using?
What did you do? This all sounds weird as hell to me because I've never seen it and I've played this thing a lot.

[Kung Fu Attack]

Meh... needs improvement

Like the others have said before... speed and combos need work with.

Guess for a quick story plot would be okay... just a few sentences in telling me what I'm doing besides kicking goblin ass and collecting coins, while listening to an old man's praise or verbal jabs of how my "suck-fu" is great.

Also the recoil or tumble after getting hit is somewhat problematic... one of the levels where I'm doing the second time attack. Middle of a jump, those swirling saw things got me off screen somewhat... which caused me to not only to tumble down to the platforms but also through those parts where you jump up or down through.

This caused me some frustration as that the hero's recovery speed was slow and quick. Slow in the process that he is tumbling back till he hits the ground and quick that his temporal invincible state is remove quickly enough that he can be hit again immediately. This can be problematic and frustrating for those who want to complete the speed attack goals of the game.

Also the double jump and shadow kick need some work... the double jump sometimes work and sometimes doesn't. As if you're only doing one strong jump with after images following you. The shadow kick... this one was interesting and maybe it was on my end. Using it one time to get the combo hit goal of one of the levels... I somehow got stuck into a wall and unable to move. This left me to get wailed on by the goblins and eventually drowned by the slime flood.

Oh the slime flood... that's another issue I've been having... it either moves fast or really snail slow paced. It's a headache when you're aiming for the high combos and kill rates. Maybe a reward or some easter egg of removing the slime threat so some players can enjoy juggling the goblins for fun. Or something like a training ground... since there were instances of throwing goblins about without much warning.

I give it a 5 for the effort and the goblin designs. Though a kung fu hero with a cape? Meh... need something maybe more traditional for those who practice kung fu... though that's my opinion. Just... get rid of that cape @_@

bitpimp responds:

For as little as you liked it I am glad you played it as long as you did. This is my first time hearing about someone getting stuck in a wall... I will check that out.

You are not the first person who enjoyed the overall game mechanic, but wanted to play a true platform adventure game. That tells me there is something solid in the engine, but what you described about the game overall is helpful.

Thanks!

ohhh....

Damn you for the prank! Good one thought ;-D

Pranks makes life funnier :)
