I can only give you a half-star because while I'm sure it's a great game, it doesn't work in Firefox. I would really rather not use IE to play it.
Reviews for "Land of Enki 2"
TheEnkian responds:
Then why review it?
To start off this review, I want to notify you, that some european nations use QUERTZ keyboards. It would be nice if you just used both z and y for jumping.
The graphics are nice although the animations could be better
The controls are responsive (if you play on chrome;The game lags horribly on firefox)
The delay at the end of a level feels out of place and annoys, maybe consider removing it.
The worst thing about the game is the movement speed. You walk waaay too slow, which makes the game pretty boring.
The combat is pretty boring.
TheEnkian responds:
Yeah, somebody mentioned that in one of the earlier reviews. It didn't even occur to me when we were making the game, I'm really sorry!
If we make another one, the combat will be definitely getting a change. The attacks would be quicker and have a few more variations and the enemies will have some AI in order to fight back rather than (mostly) pacing around.
A very solid, easy to pick off platformer. In every aspect. Nothing too special though. A solid 4/5.
You gain an additional 0.5 because I have the feeling you are really trying to create your own world here. Your own universe, style, gameplay ideas, characters...this game becomes more unique with each sequal...hopefully.
Keep on working on this series! I would be glad to see Land of Enki 3.
TheEnkian responds:
Thank you :) Yeah, I've got a decent amount of lore set up for the world that may or may not end up getting used. It'd be nice to explore that and have different gameplay elements and characters shown too.
Nice job bros but the animations and softer movements are quite lacking tho
TheEnkian responds:
Haha, yeah. I can't really deny that. Thanks for checking it out!
The game itself is pretty bland... it's the same side scrolling platforming level after level after level... some vertical or other level designs that did more than just going side-to-side would've been a welcome addition.
The pause screen hints at something deeper with pickups and whatnot, but even though I fastidiously collected all chests, gems and checked every "store guy" I never saw any new weapons. I did, however, buy three necklaces (?). Each claimed to increase the drop rate of hearts, money and bombs respectively. Unfortunately I noticed no significant change in item drops.
I got as far as where an invincible purple cloud kept following me, maybe it was included to add challenge to the game because it's pretty easy otherwise. I, personally, just found it annoying and stopped playing.
TheEnkian responds:
There are some vertical sections and a new sword from shops, permanent health upgrades, as well as crystals that change your damage output instead of just altering drop rates.
