The graphics are AMAZING. The platforming is a little floaty, but nothing unmanageable. The sound kicks ass. I really really really wanted to finish the game (I even found the $500 door!) but I didn't because of these two level design "flaws" (even though the level design was otherwise awesome!)
In the second to last (maybe third to last room) there's a jump you have to make down a hole where you're flanked by two lasers. This jump is VERY HARD to make without the teleporter grenades.
I almost gave up because I kept bumping into the lasers on my way down or on the initial leap. I had to try about a dozen times. This was mitigated when I found the teleporter grenade on my second go around.
Now, it's clear once you have the teleporter grenade that you can get to the $500 door from the first room, but man, I cannot predictably throw that thing at all. I found it would either not make it past the double laser barrier, or worse, it would get stuck in between. Combine this with the idea that making it to the 500 door is not easy and I just gave up.
You're still gonna get a great rating from me, but I just wanted to let you know about some things you could do (in my opinion!!!!) to get your game from great to flawless.
@m7rk:
You have some level of control on how to throw the telebomb. It depends on which directions you are holding while you lob it. I guess this is more obvious while you play on a gamepad. If you hold left+up you can easily throw it through the 2 lasers :)
And yes, that drop with 2 lasers on either side gets me a lot too!
Overall is a nice work!
Good game, was fun! But I didn't enjoy the controls, they were kinda awkward and took some getting used to (Shift, Z, X)
Overall a great game!
