Reviews for "Refrigerator Adventure"
Cool game!!! Though am I the only one experiencing extreme lag with the game, even with lowered quality? It was ultimately what made me quit playing it.
Refrigerator Adventure is cute, basic, side-scrolling platformer. However the gameplay is extremely frustrating. The hit detection feels broken and in fact makes the story levels a LOT harder than they should be. Many of the times I died was not because I messed up the timing but because the fridge hit an obstacle that CLEARLY has a few inches of space between it or my jumps near ledges did not work and just made me fall. One specific example would be on the level where you have to cross a pool of water, that with the basic refrigerator will kill you the exact moment the player reaches the other end of the pool to jump. I tried jumping at the edge of the ledge to be able to have a second or two to be able to make the ledge on the other side but to no avail. Also jumping out of the water repeatedly didn't not lengthen the time a player is allowed in the water like in the first challenge. The ONLY way i was able to beat the level was to upgrade my fridge. Speaking of the challenges however, I found all three fun and fair. They had just the right amount of difficulty in them and were a nice change of pace to the game.
Another problem is the game's ending is extremely unsatisfying. After seeing a short cutscene in the beginning I expected to see a little short scene of my fridge meeting up with his friends and maybe even the owner of the fridge wondering where it went. Instead I receive a screen that informs me of the obvious, I won. I would have also liked after beating the game, to be able to go back and chose a level to replay with my fully upgraded fridge, maybe even a time attack or special modes, or even using the extra diamonds to buy even cooler upgrades.
Refrigerator Adventure was a nice timewaster and a fun concept . The hit detection, story, and lack of other options after beating the game however kept it from receiving a higher score.
I agree with RiceNBeans... the hit detection was awefull and the ending was unsatisfying. Loved the first few levels where the hit detection didn't matter too much... but those damn ground spikes on the city level -_- I had to wait for every single spike to go down before I could panic jump across. If a single spike went up, even when I was no where near, I'd die.
-_- good concept, needs a bit more work though
I like to completely finish a game before reviewing it, which meant I had to sit through all 13 levels of infuriating hit detection. Of course, as you'd expect, the first few levels didn't annoy me as much because the hit detection did not matter, but once I reached level 8 or 9 I was ready to scream after I fell into that green stuff (Sewage? Paint? Slime? Boogers? I have no idea) about a hundred times.
The green stuff wasn't the only thing that confused me, though. The water I assumed would kill me, but it only does so if I stay in it too long. If I jump, however, I am safe and impervious to the evil H2O. It would be nice if the game explained that a little clearer. Also, there must be something done about those microscopic little spikes that poke up from the ground. They were both too hard and too easy to get past, thanks to the hit detection. If I stayed on the ground, the game didn't care how far from them I was; it was back to the start for me even if no spikes were in sight. However, jumping let me get past even though I was clearly touching just about every single one on the way.
But what took the cake for me was level 13. Oh god, those holes were made by the devil himself. I admit once I got the final fridge it was a cinch, but I was trying to beat everything in the game with the first fridge. Hey, he was a great little fridge, and I didn't have the heart to replace him with a futuristic and bland black refrigerator. So, what I had to do was jump again and again in the hopes of getting past that hole. 99% of the time I'd either fall without even jumping or fall through the next bit of floor, even though the fridge itself looked like it could get over the hole with little effort if fridges could jump in real life.
The challenges were pretty good. I didn't play two of them, but I wish I had because the first one was quite fun. You did a good job there.
All in all, it's good, but the hit detection killed it for me. Just make sure you test the next game you make if you decide you will make another (which I hope you do)
