this is an absolutely wonderful little game. my only wish is that it could be a bit longer, and that the challenge curve was steeper.

make more, please. :)

"could be excellent.."

submission: Level Up!

date: November 26, 2009

i dunno. maybe i'm just not good enough. i think this could be an excellent game but it comes across as being purposefully frustrating.

the nightmare boss only seems (again, maybe this is just me being dumb) to have one attack that you can use against him. i'm usually so busy trying to get used to her unnatural sliding (it's like she's constantly on ice) that i often get hit. i tried playing for 4 game days and remained as patient as i could but really just lost interest. i would start to do really well against him but of course he has a huge life bar and as i said, only one of his attacks was hurting him so i found myself really bored.

there was no want for me to keep playing. i didn't want to beat the nightmare because i knew that even if i did, i'd probably just have to do it again and again. so i closed the game.

i have a feeling this game is for the more hardcore bitesize gamers out there who want something simple in concept and straightforward in gameplay, but with some horribly challenging element to them that gives them reason to spend all day at their computer.

oh, i also found the music very annoying. a change of sound wouldn't go amiss.

all these criticisms aside, i thought it was a nice idea. the leveling was neat and the graphics were very sweet. it's a well made game. just not for the casual gamer. well done anyway, hope it does well and hope you make some more games.

"i really hope..."

submission: Gretel and Hansel

i really hope the release of games such as this one marks the beginning of a REAL adventure game movement in flash. so much can be said about its beautiful and dark fairy tale aesthetic, evident in the art, animation and music. it's a work of art and a joy to play.

it's not very difficult (which, for flash adventure games, i think is alright) and with the exception of the many deaths you can get (which are fun, don't get me wrong) the game lacks some imagination in terms of puzzles and narrative movement. it was very short, so this was a disappointment, but i am still happy to have played it and for once i was engaged enough to WANT to find all the medals (albeit not the 200 sling shot fire one, that seems a little pointless).

needless to say i am looking forward to the second release; the last animation that reveals who i can assume is the evil witch was so simple yet so beautifully done that i sat up in my chair and wanted to get straight into the second game! i hope you guys can get the 2nd ep out soon. :)

i loved this game. i can find little flaw in terms of style. it's only because of its very short length and a-bit-too-straightforward structure that i haven't given it 10/10, but it definitely deserves a 5 on the score vote. :)

best of luck with the game's success.
