The Daily Click ::. Downloads ::. Review Review: Unknown Game 5185
It's been so long since I wrote one of these, I hardly know where to even begin. I'll have a go anyway - the game opens with a slightly slow fade in to the logo and title screen, where a pixellated boulder appears. Afterwards, we're treated to a simple but pleasant enough options menu with a happy MIDI tinkling away merrily in the background. I should mention the "Game Info" screen at this point - it describes the effects of each boulder in the game. The trouble is, they're bouncing all over the place. This not only makes it rather difficult to see the text as boulders keep floating by whenever you try to read it, but it means that you can't see which descriptions correspond to which boulders without going back out of the screen and in again, then quickly memorising the positions of all of them before they wander off again. The descriptions aren't really that helpful either - the boulders seem named in quite an arbitrary fashion. On the plus side, the selection screen works pretty well (and the option to include a 2-player mode is nice as well). After asking you if you're ready (bizarrely, saying No will transport you back to the selection screen) you have to dodge boulders that bounce around the screen in front of a pixelly background. You have to do this for one minute, which seems a bit of a long time limit to me as all you do is press arrow keys for the duration. It quickly gets a bit dull, to tell the truth. It's clearly a first project, but looking beyond the simplicity of it, it's not utterly terrible. There's an attempt at making at least the backgrounds varied, and even though it might not look great, it provides a variety of difficulty levels (which is something I haven't seen in many Click games at all).
