nice game but

incredibly laggy. i have to admit my com is probably not the best, but even then everything is choppy and lagged up when other games i play don't seem to lag as much. and that is considering i had quality set on lowest.

also probably due to lag, i didn't find the reflex thing challenging, just that figuring what i had to do was quite annoying. like sometimes i had to die 3-4 times just to realise that pikemen on horses meant block. stuff like that. and when i pressed right to get her to speed up, there wasn't any noticable difference. maybe thats the lag playing up again.

and a round that took me less than 2 minutes according to the timer was very very definitely more than 2 minutes on my clock. i would find it much more fun if there wasn't lag, as the graphics is really good, like nice backgrounds, nice characters, and the music and voiceovers are good too. yeah.

curious

when you have something to protect, you can move faster when the soldiers arrive. however, if you let them all die at the start, while you can survive longer (with some skill) its a slower and more arduous journey. very well thought out.

great job, but too hard. IMO

the little guy walks too slowly.. even on the lowest quality setting. i finally gave up on level 11 coz i couldn't avoid the bubbas in time. i like the amount of brains involved, but my finger dexterity is just not good enough. haha. loved the intro btw, looks almost like a childrens cartoon. lol. also when the little fella is underground, sometimes he can slip through gaps which if he was walking he wouldn't be able to get through. is that intentional? in any case, great game, just that i'll rate it down for slow walking.

sweet

very soothing, i thought the controls were obvious enough: click the colour of the sparkles that match the christmas decorations you currently posses. hmm. nice game, though i would like the medals too. hehe :) gj

really fun

i dont know why the people are complaining, but personally i think this is a fantastic OT game. its realistic, and thats what makes it fun. if you take away the health and the time, you might as well be operating on a plastic doll, right? one problem is that i felt instructions were quite unclear. maybe you could include a 'practice session' for first timers to test out all the moves? merry xmas lol.

you theres this dance game

some afro dancers coming to save the world? its a DS thing. yours is quite like it. looks like alot of potential, but how about creating different storylines? like for example if you mess up a move you can still play on but will have to say parkour back up the building first, instead of PARKOUR FAIL. gives the game more playability. also i agree that you shouldn't freeze the action. maybe like slow mo it for 1 sec, so the player has effectively 1 secs to do the move or fail? something along those lines? yeah just randomly throwing ideas around. drawing could be better for final scene in my opinion haha. nice intro to parkour tho.

[Colour My Dreams]

fantastic

if you don't complete the game it may seem pointless, but if you do, its actually a really fun game, albeit a bit devoid of colour ;) love the happy ending, makes playing the game seem more worthwhile to me.

wasn't very hard in my opinion, just that it needs a bit of persistence. keep up the great work! :)

[William and Sly]

up close down close. thats the secret to the boss. very nice game. cept that the rain makes it abit sad. haha. love the wings though. kept me busy for quite a while. those darklings really make me jump. haha. :)

quite bad.

to start with, your doll is kinda ugly. and if you are aiming for the tween market, the music sucks. put something disney. too few choices for clothes also, and too few options that are adjustable. like make different backgrounds? stockings? gloves?

MrAbbot responds:

:O great ideas thanks! I have received alot of comments on the music not really being great. Also, the gloves is a nice touch.
