[What is Success?]

Well...

I know you were going after the whole "Where am i? I need to escape!" theme, but introducing yourself as the creator of the game seemed a little... bland? Making the key and the red block void objects seemed a little pointless also, since it doesn't contribute to the story or progression. When i saw the word "escape" I immediately tried hitting the key, which ended the game and also made me laugh. Not bad for a first attempt, but the title sort of implied some heavy metaphorical background. Keep trying, and surely you'll get it right!
Practice makes perfect.

There kinda WAS a heavy metaphorical background...I guess it just went over your head. I'm going to discuss my intentions just a little bit:

I wasn't necessarily going after the "Where am I?" theme, more like the "What am I doing?" theme. As in, "What is the point of this game? What are my goals? Am I just going from level to level? Or am I not making any progress at all towards success?"

The key and the red block were meant to establish distrust in the text, creating uncertainty. The uncertainty would then make the later text somewhat harder to believe.
The idea is this--games have goals, and the player has to choose what his goals are going to be. But this game is unique because the goal is not what you think it is at first. The game should not have to tell you what your goal is for you to be successful at achieving it.

What is success? Whatever you say it is.

[Hundred Cut - Battle]

great job!

great job BUT:
the deaths for the common goblins took a bit too long. i think they should just fade
when the fall on the floor

and

the character's walk cycle is a little weird.

otherwise awesome game i look forward to it!

CyberXR responds:

Hey hoo Fightermarth and thanks for your words ;)) (nice score also hehehe) :P

Yup! You are right. If I do a full game of this I will add some more death animations (shorter but more). Or simple that they fade out :P Thought ppl would like some blood.

YEA! Now when I watch it it seems that the character is drunk or high on something when he walks :S He is like moving his arm pretty wierd. But as Is aid...Im not a good animator ;)

Thanks! Dont think there will be a full release tho. People didnt like the battlescene so I cant find any intrest in doing a full game of it.

Thanks anyways ;) Write a PM to me sometime :P
