Finally got around to play it.
Well, overall, I liked it. I think the color usage is superb, art is really good and there's a plot, which is always a plus.
But, I found tons of small bugs that ticks me off as a lack of polish. The controls are a bit confusing, too - why the need of so many keys throughout the game. And the tons of particles on screen makes the game even harder.
But overall, it's pretty nice and as I said, loved the palette color, cyan and magenta are my choice for T-shirts (with black backgrounds)
It felt as those old school games we all used to play as kids. The story elements were fun and well put together. The design needs a bit more work, especially the numbers in the lower left which kinda don't fit the whole game. A pause screen is really important for a game like this, and maybe the splash screen could be more button based. On the whole, a good game. Hoping for updates :)
I gave the game an A- or 4/5 for its complex, yet decent structure. More info in the video review that I'll have up soon.
Really liked the story and the way it was presented. The music was excellent. Good game, but there's a few things that bothered me: the arrow keys don't work, the mouse cursor on the screen is distracting when using mouse control, and I couldn't find a way to exit or restart the game from the Game Over screen.
Also, I like the quantum slowdown effect, but I think a recharging meter might work better than a number of uses remaining. I wanted to be able to use the effect more.
Always wanted to try one of these sorts of games. This looks like it could be pretty cool if I can get the hang of it. lol
Obviously, if a person didn't like this type of game, it wouldn't get the same reception, but as far as I can tell, this should be fun, for those who like this kind of fun. ^^
