FunkyRaspberry's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Kalevala]

Nice idea for a game

But could have been performed a bit better. The story and the game itself were really unrelated, which made it hard to appreciate any of them fully. Try to focus the point of the game a bit more. Also the text was really distracting when trying to pull off a precis jump :/ And one thing to fix if you feel like it - the game can be completed by holding the left mouse button while dragging the mouse to the far right of the screen. You will fly by all of the checkpoints with an exception of maybe one or two checkpoints. Other than that, I must say it's a really nice sidescroller. It reminds me of Megaman somehow.

Thanks for the review.

You know, I actually implemented a scrolling background that featured images from the story. So you could both see and read what was going on.

I decided against using it in favor of the black background because I didn't want to distract the player with other peoples interpretation of the story.

You're probably right about it being a bit difficult to time jumps, that's on me. I conducted no testing whatsoever on this "game" so issues like that are bound to pop up :)
