Hey. Really cool little game you have here. Despite having it's elements of comedy and cuteness with the cat(and the vacuum cleaner part for example), this game does put you in the horror atmosphere relatively well, without exaggerating on jumpscares. The puzzles are obviously the main point of it and they are interestingly made, giving you hints for the solution but still requiring you to think about them. They were pretty interesting to figure out, except for the 1st one, I don't know why I got so stuck at that one, I guess there are multiple ways to interpret the message on the wall, and no "reset" button for the puzzle itself. Since you wanted feedback I went ahead and did a let's play video of this game, recording my blind playthrough experience through it: https://youtu.be/rPA3_KvgxkA . I have to say, that excluding that first puzzle it was a really cool game and you should definitely work on to making a full, finished version. Kudos to you and Good luck.
Reviews for "Ink's Sleep OLD DEMO"
Thank you for such extensive review! There were many complaints about the first puzzle. I will change something with this.
This is very clever little Demo gives you enough taste of it's smarts yet keeps you wanting more. The maze puzzle can be figured out if you notice subtle signs and just keep traversing the paths. A pause/escape button option to go back to Menu and reset would be great in full version which I hope comes out soon. This is gonna be a great game I believe.
Great game.
Thankz)
Interesting concept, but I have a few complaints;
1. It was not made obvious that Inky could jump across ledges with the action key. far from game breaking, but something that shows you this before the box maze would be helpful if this is to be a full length game
2. Game-play seems like it could get stale quick. It works for a short game like this, but if you plan on making it much longer then this, I would recommend you do something to vary it up at points. Doesn't even have to stick for the whole game, just a segment or two.
3. What is the point.
This was a cute little flash game. but you intend to make this game much longer, it's gonna need a point, or a goal, or something to motivate me to continue.
This is the biggest problem I see here; No point. Normally, that's not a problem for quick, experimental flash games, but since you intend to extend the game, this is gonna be what kills it in the long run.
Aside from these, I liked the game. the atmosphere was eerie, but still lighthearted. I am excited for the game to continue, though, as stated above, I have a few concerns. But, I have confidence you'll be able to squash all three, so I ain't too worried.
Best of luck, Gly
This game has potential. I never knew vacuum cleaners could be this creepy until now!
