[Climb the Word]

Wow, you have a nice piece of work here. The graphics are simple, yet charming; the music and voicing, clear and sound.

Two would be my advices: Story, and controls. Instead of just cyclical references to the mountain alone, it would be even nicer if there were some kind of story about Edwin, his past, his persona, etc, engraved on the stone and read while the player climbs it up.

Regarding controls, my bet is that it'd become way more fluid to have them configured to asdw + spacebar + another key for being pressed by the right hand (since the mouse is not used in the game). That way, the player will place their hands more naturally on the keyboard, thus enhancing gameplay.

I'd love to see a sequel involving such mechanics, and I even think that, by giving it a meaningful story, it'd be even viable for porting it to mobiles. I, for one, would buy for a bold story enveloped in such a pleasant graphic environment.

EricAZ4 responds:

Thank you for playing and for the helpful feedback!
I will be working on making the keyboard controls better this week and look at making the game feel more fluid.

I loved it! There are but two annoying issues I noticed though:

1.The gameplay area is sometimes too small, meaning that I often rolled the mouse pointer to the edge of the gameplay screen and opened the rightclick context menu instead of moving my character
2.For some unknown reason, clicking (right, left, sometimes middle) would open another tab in my browser (Opera)

Other than that... awesome game! The music's pleasant, the gameplay is simple, and kept me playing for some time (despite those annoying issues). I'll check out the downloadable version too!

PaperCookies responds:

Thank you! I'm really glad you like it! Opera seems to have mouse gestures, that's why that happened. Other people said this as well, so I'm taking note for future games ;)

mundoalexo responds:

[Life Or Death]

At first I thought it would be 'just another text game' but in the end, it turned out to be an immersive, reflexive narrative of a game. Despite some typos, spelling mistakes, it's clear you put a lot of effort in making this game. Congratulations to you, and keep it up.

And, in answer to Dhall's comment: Pal, your comment lets it so blatantly clear that you've played the game for just a few screens and rage-quit just after the lines about alcohol. After all, nowhere else it is to be mentioned apart from in the very beginning of the game. So, do yourself a favour and show up some game made by you before bashing other people's works. Thanks.

NiobiuMmm responds:

I wish there is more people like you. Thanks really a lot.

[Astronaut in Maze]

here it stops loading at 67%. The game doesn't launch.

onyx009 responds:

Can you please retry. I have checked it many time, even after clearing cache, the game is loading perfect.

(I assume you folks speak Portuguese, so...)

Tudo muito bonitinho, feito com capricho... menus, personagens, cenários, objetos. Parabéns!

Quanto à jogabilidade em si, gostei da interatividade dos objetos de cenário... mas senti um pouco de falta de mais interação na jogabilidade - depois de um tempo, o jogo se restringe à seleção de poucas opções em um ou outro menu. Outra coisa que poderia ser diferente é o tamanho da fonte e dos menus (não sei se é coisa do meu navegador, mas aqui o texto ficou pequeno e espremido, tem que apertar os olhos pra enxergar direito).

No mais, vou acompanhar os trabalhos de vocês. Promissor! =D

marcosfl responds:

Hey, stop speaking spanish, I don't understand you!

Brincadeira, haha. Obrigado por deixar sua opinião. Vamos levar em consideração os prós e contras que você deixou pro nosso próximo projeto. De fato o texto ficou pequeno, isso é algo a se lembrar também :).

Muito obrigado pelas 4 estrelas e pelo voto de confiança :D
