Comment on potato Beetle Damage by sicklilmonky
An interesting little game but I believe there are some problems with it in my opinion.
1) The controls are difficult to use, the independent camera rotation and movement takes quite some getting used to, I 'suspect' with its casual nature and delivery people may not give it the time to get used to the controls.
2) The way the character circles when reversing makes it impossible to backup if you get too close to the edge of a rock or platform. I found alignment with the jump target difficult with the degree of turn too.
3) Even in this demo the lack of a save or check point is quite frustrating. In the puddle again back to the start.

Thanks, I quite agree with a lot of what you say and I do have plans to try and fix a lot of that stuff if I can figure out how. as for the dying in a puddle and having to end up at the start I think is pretty standard for a lot of games... atleast the games I've played... you die, you start over, seems a pretty simple concept.
Overall I'm not going to be able to please everybody, some are going to love it while others are going to hate it... not much can be done about that, I've played plenty of game I just hated while others I just loved, the Mario games on regular nintendo I hated but the ones on Super nintendo I loved, the 3D mario I loved even though I only played it once... Which is what this one is basically bassed off of.

No problem, I must have spent about 30 minutes on it, its got plenty of interesting ideas in it and certainly could be good fun. I would agree that you have to have a penalty for losing a life although its nice to have a nearby checkpoint to particular challenges to avoid too much repetitious play. Good luck with this game.
Thanks, I'm certainly going to try and implement a lot of your ideas as the game develops. I'm going to try and get level 02 up soon. trying to optimize it as much as I can. I'm still pretty new to the whole game creation thing so there is bucketloads of stuff I'm still trying to learn as I go.
