(This is a partial review… Will spend more time on this.)
- The game looks good! Can’t point out all of the changes, but there definitely seem to be a lot of enhancements over the previous version.
- The new cursor is nice. (Although maybe it’s a bit big, especially compared to the character in-game).
- The zoom in for the hidden passage in the first scene is a good touch. Can’t remember if it was there earlier.
Again, game feel is great as always. Lots of stuff going well here, won’t repeat myself from the FQ7 feedback. I’ll focus on points of improvement:
- In the menus, I have to click twice, once to get the cursor onto an option, and then again to register the click.
- There should be some hover indication for the menu options.
- “Here we’re, sweetheart, we’re finally out of…” I think the first “we’re” should be expanded: “we are”.
- “encode your name” => “enroll your name”?
- When you click on a location, the repeated square expanding effect until you reach there is a bit jarring. Maybe reduce the size of the square (or circle may work better?), the intensity of the effect, and make it happen only once.
- You should consider adding some idle animation for the character, even if it’s very minimal.
- History of the Tower of Knowledge excerpt: hard to read as the text colour is similar to the background colour.
