Shockingly well made for a fan project! I urge you to continue this. I'd say it will be C&D'd if ever an official remaster comes, but even Gex is getting a remaster while our boy Blinx languishes in the forgotten shadows, so I'd wager you're in the clear. Don't listen to crits of the art style, they didn't play the original. The OG Blinx was graphically ostenatious as it was something of a showpiece for the Xbox hardware, what you've done with the exaggerated bloom, parallax maps and so forth is true to the original stylistic vision. One tiny nitpick: The water should stay disturbed if you wade through it with time paused. Other than that I see little to gripe about, this is truly a gem.
Can I save my game in this? Does it autosave? I'm over time streaming but afraid to close it. It doesn't say on this page or ingame anywhere and it doesn't say anywhere how long it is.
EDIT: Apparently it autosaves but not partway thru large puzzles, now I must complete a huge puzzle again. This is a superb game but lacks in sorely needed quality of life features for the time being. Still, very impressive work for what's here, I feel like I ripped you off by getting to play this for free. This should certainl be on Steam once you've polished it up some.
Unpolished but very promising. The 3D is a little crude (extremely thicc doorways and other oddities make it look like a Roblox game) but the sound design is decent and the 2d artwork is the real star of the show. Clearly, 2d art is where your strength lies. Maybe try this concept in a 2d engine which would give your talent more chance to shine? If not, it works well enough as a semi 3D game except for the rough level design. I'll be keeping my eye on this one, the tone/vibe was very creative and compelling, and deserves continuation.
Hi, I'm a weird fiction / horror author published by Vivid. I'm trying to talk them into adapting some of my works to VNs, maybe outsourcing it to someone with expertise in the genre. TCoA&L is exactly the sort of tone & aesthetic I had in mind. If I can persuade them, it would be paid work of course. You can reach me using the email link in here: linktr.ee/alexbeyman to discuss possibilities & negotiate.
