hey i have a platform game that is about halfway but id like to know if it plays right. There are some bugs but it is perfectly playable.
If you like would you give me a review? It doesn't have to be all good points i would like to know where i stand. The most important thing id like to know if it's fun playing or not.

Hi there Dries Van Gijsel, and what a name XD... First of all, I can not make a gameplay reivew video about your game as it is a browser game and I have it in my rules that I can't play online game (for my personal reasons). However, I see that you need help and I have did spent some time testing the game and I found that:
- The mechanics are good and music suits the game and it is synchronized with gameplay.
- The style is simple and very well done, I really liked it personally.
- There is three heart before you lose a life, but here what I do not get it! You lose a life, then all the apples you collected restart again, I really don't see the point of having more lives if everything is restarted. Just let all restart without having lives or give something to the player like leaving the apples he collected.
- Hitting the bombs takes a heart from you, even if they do not explode (it is a little bit unfair because you can not do anything about it once you are so close to the monster who shoots the bomb at you).
I hope these small points help you with your game. All the best.
Hey ZakariaGhorfati,
Thanks for your reply. Yeah you did what I asked, and no of course...you didn't need to make a video about it please no...it's still a game in production so I don't want to show it to the public now. But it's great to have a reply altough my game is indeed a browser game and not your standard project to review.
I am glad you liked the game overall, that the mechanics are good and that you like the simplistic artstyle.. Just reading that gives a good indication that I am on the right track.
You pointed out a bug/glitch with the bombs. Haven't seen it but I'll check it out as soon as I can. Like I said there are some bugs and inefficiencies so that's totally fine.
About the restarting life and score/apples. Ok I can understand, maybe when you restart the apples you don't have to start from zero..but..
.when you say you don't understand the reason of having lives...you do know that there are some more levels after the level you played don't you? The lives are needed because you will go on a multi leveled adventure with some boss fights between it. Correct me but I don't think you have played them.
I mean that's ok, I already can't thank you enough for giving this unfinished project a go, but that is the reason why I need lives.
So thanks for the help.
I love all tiny bits of info and comment I can work it. I am now making the third level and it's going good so yeah i'll keep you guys updates.
