I tried to play the latest beta a bit but couldn't get into it. The game play is very tedious.

1) Few critic points: Timers. Timers suck. Never use timers. Everybody hates timers. 2) Gameplay loop: Very tedious, climbing up, falling down, rinse repeat. Bleh. Done it a 100x times. 3) Music: repetitive and not needed, could use sound effects instead because without sound effects it's even less of a game. Music is not needed at all imho or maybe just on one channel.

That's what I would have changed immediately as well as the name/hero of the game, which is lame. Well, it's not all sunshine and roses with this one. 5.5/10 game, maybe...?

On the plus side, the coding and graphics seem nice, but the game play itself doesn't keep up with it. Well, that's my take on this game.

First off, thanks a ton for your feedback, that’s exactly what helps us make things even better.
Alright, let’s see what kind of points you’ve got for us.

1.) Hmm, the timer – okay, that’s a fair point. Some people hate it, some don’t. The whole idea behind it, of course, is to put a bit of pressure on the player so they’ll try to beat the level as fast as possible. But as I’ve said multiple times, we’re making a conversion of an Amiga game, and that one has a timer as well!


2.) Well, if you’ve done it a hundred times already, then it must be a pretty successful concept. And once again – it’s a conversion. Plus, we’re still very early in development. I only started this project a few weeks ago :)

3.) The music isn’t complete yet either, we only added it in its current form so there’s at least something playing in the game. Yeah, it’s pretty short at the moment, but that’s going to change. I promise!
I also want to add SFX, but hey, give it time and the sound effects will come too.



The name’s not gonna change! it’s a straight-up conversion of an Amiga game with the exact same title. I've honestly never heard of anyone getting upset about a game’s name?!
But hey, I’m always happy to hear suggestions that make the game better. But if so many negative points are triggering you, maybe this isn’t the right game for you!



If you seriously want to help shape our little C64 game, just hop on my Discord and get involved in the chat.

If you’ve got ideas for the Amiga original, you can also hop onto their Discord to get involved there!

You wanted an opinion, that was mine. It's not my job, however to help you make your game and you won't ever see me touch the cancer that is Discord. I stick with my 3 main points tho: 1. Title of the game (change it) 2. No Sound FX (add it) and 3. The gameplay itself (change/tweak it). I've been playing games for over 40 years now and I can tell what works and what doesn't and here a lot simply doesn't. That's all I got for ya, so good luck with your game.
