This is such a beautiful scene. I love the title art and the music selection, right off the bat I'm impressed. This isn't always a good thing, although most of the time it is. I've played some terrible games with wonderful title art before, but let's see where this one goes. :)
The opening scene starts off with some relaxing music that sets a melancholic atmosphere. You see slides of black and white images that slowly turn into colored imaged as the "show, don't tell" method of narration unfolds. While some images appear a bit rushed, others are more detailed and overall I think that it's(the intro scene) done quite well.
The purple fox sprite is adorable, in fact all of the sprite are cute in their own way. The tileset used is beautiful and the songs that have been picked are fantastic.
You get a timed press event at the beginning, but I'm not really sure that makes any difference in the outcome of the following scenes or not, probably not.
One of the stone sprites looks like grey butt cheeks... just sayin'. ^^
The maps and tileset theme are really cool and they give me flashbacks to an old old DOS game I used to enjoy called Albion. (Not the new multiplayer one with the same name, but instead the very very old DOS version RPG)
(Tea said it reminds her of ToeJam and Earl from the Sega era.)
It's really cool how the land responds to the player's movement. As you get closer to the walls they come out of the ground. It's like an invisible maze puzzle, but the walls appear more and more, the closer you get to them.
About 20 minutes into this puzzle game I flip a switch and the game blank screens. Soft lock. Daaang I wish I could save it somewhere... Luckily there's an autosave and I only lost like 5-10minutes.
I get back in the game and this time the game hard crashes. ;( I usually don't like puzzle games but this one has done them very well, IF you ignore the fact that the game keeps crashing... Which unfortunately most people probably won't.
I've tried over and over and over, I always crash in the top right section of the 5 puzzle map. I can get all 4 others complete, but that one always crashes the game. Sometimes it closes and sometimes it just goes to a black screen.
Sadly I can't finish this one because the game crashes every time, at the same spot.
Really good job with this game TeamVoyager, but look into these crashing issues. I hope you're able to figure out what's causing these crashes and design around them in your next project. Keep up the good work, I believe that there's more good things to come in the future for your team. :)
