I found this game quite enjoyable, albeit stressful and it hurt my eyes due to the constant grey color pallet. I do however agree with others on your overall message, the character hardly represents depression and I think the message would have been better delivered if you AVOIDED the depressing faces, and depending on how many depressed faces you collected, it would alter the ending. However, I digress, your game was alright and your intentions were good, the message could have been delivered better and your overall game design could be improved, substantially.
Reviews for "The Cloud"
You offer absolutely nothing new to the portal by having made this. Everything from the gameplay to the graphics are completely devoid of content. This is thoroughly boring and uninspired.
JackAstral responds:
By content do you mean depth? Also, thanks for trying it out anyway- sorry you feel that way
I was expecting something big but all that happened was that he shot himself. There was no plot whatsoever and I feel like that was all this game had going for it.
Maybe you didn't put effort on this game, but you sure did gave a message.
Couldn't beat the last level, Its utterly hard.
The dash isn't helpful as it should be.
JackAstral responds:
Thanks- I'll look into improving the dash.
I know you worked hard on this game, but it would have been more enjoyable just to make the game easy through out to see the ending. I wont see the ending to this because I feel like the game was way too boring in the beginning and then unnecessarily hard on the last level. This game would fit the art game category that tells a story, and I would have liked to see the ending, but from what the game had been about, I imagine it wouldn't have been very positive. I like the art in the game, and the programming you did with the meshing and that, but it feels a little too copy and pasted. Not my favorite, but worth the play for the music and the mood.
