Fun and Puzzling

A fun little game but unfortunately I was unable to finish it due to getting stuck in a wall. >.< Where you freeze the four up/down critters, the last one was a bit too high and when I jumped on it, though it looked like it had enough space, I couldn't get off it again. I tried unfreezing it, but the bullets wouldn't hit and I couldn't jump or walk off of it.

Still, it's a fun little game and the controls aren't hard to figure out, though you need to use your brain a little to get the second key. I really liked it.

(I'd have given it an 8 or 9 if I hadn't gotten stuck.)

Nice game

But it could really use a save feature... I got stuck on the part after freezing the 4 creatures to use as stepping stones, then going down the ladder to a bit with a creature that I could freeze, but couldn't use as a stepping stone up to the next level.. or get enough height/bounce/velocity/whatever weird combo is needed on my shots to hit the block under the water. Figure I'd come back to it later.

Anyway, no save feature, not burning 15 minutes retreading old ground.

Great!

Great game, liked it a lot! Really nice graphics, gameplay and story.

There were 2 things though..

1. As some others mentioned, freezing the flying things to jump on them was quite annoying.
2. I stopped playing after I had spent over 30 minutes trying to finish the game, and then instinctively pressed Esc, thinking it would pause the game. However, it brought me back to the main screen, with no way to continue the game, and without even asking for confirmation.. That is really evil..

Overall Pretty Good

I agree with commando. This was literally a DIRECT rip off of Shadow of the Colossus. And you're grammar was terrible! But it was still a good game. Only problems I found with actual game play are 1: there's really no hint telling you how to unfreeze the one guy. I just had to figure it out. And 2: timing freezing the bats was horribly annoying.

Not bad, not great.

Fighting the enemies was a little bit too repetitive, and it would have been nice to know that you could redistribute XP after you assigned them. The story was vague, but interesting. The sound fit perfectly. I'm almost positive that you could insure replay value more interest in your game by making each ending a medal. All in all, this game garnered enough of my interest to complete one ending, however I don't expect to come back to this game. I say this earns a solid 7.3 stars. Definitely worth one play.
