Reviews for "Theia"

Interesting game

So this was a unique game not too hard and has some nice controls that really respond well, A nice game entry you made here I had some fun on this one you showcased some nice ideas too It was alot of the little things that really made me enjoy this game, I like the skill element about this game

~X~

Interesting.

Very Dr. Seuss. If it wasn't so obnoxious I might have actually played it all the way through...
Things that I found to be less than satisfactory included the movement speed and a general inability to stop exactly where I wanted to... The main character seemed to be in just the right place, then i would stop walking and he would snap back about half a step, making it harder to push objects around in a timely manner.

Cool concept, cool graphics, kinda poor execution.

Yawn

Not sure how anyone enjoyed this? Just another puzzle game with the digging concept to keep you from falling asleep. Good artwork tho :)

confused me

i would think such beautiful art and animation would go with a good game but my expectations went unsatisfied. Like i had said, the animations and level art were great and suited the feel of the game, though it did not play very well. the game felt slow and i didint get into it. Remember, if your going to make a game look professional (which it does) make it play professional as well.

Nice animation, but...

What really kills Theia is that there seems to be a lack of spacial sense. It isn't clear where the boulders can and can't be pushed to, and that you need to need to stand in a particular position to push them just adds to the pain.

There's also the matter of collision detection when concerning the static environment. In one level in particular, where you have to "run the gauntlet" between the rows of the orange Bubba, it at first appears that that you just simply go straight down to the goal. And yet, when you do, you are instead blocked by the invisible corners of the crystals that really shouldn't stop you.

The pacing of the game is incredibly slow. The character you control moves very slowly (especially through the sandy segments), and the burrowing animation takes way too long. I'm not asking for Sonic-style gameplay here, but considering that this is supposed to be an action/puzzle game, playing as someone who's almost sauntering around is excruciating.

I actually like the premise here, and the overall look of the game is very good. It's a pity that it can't be enjoyed like you probably wanted.
