Reviews for "Fragile"

Pretty good, and I got the idea of the game. However, there are two problems I have with the implementation: first, you need a 'restart' button, or a death screen or something for *that part*.

Also, when you have reached *that state* you hover by jumping and return to the ground by pressing the jump button again. This is all well and good, except that somehow you've got it that holding down the jump key counts as pressing it twice. This is counter-intuitive and counter to one's instincts. You also get to realize this at the most important jump, because if you tense up for the jump and hold down the jump key, which is what I think a lot of gamers do, the opposite of what you'd want to happen happens: you jump and immediately cancel the effect you were trying to create.

You'd probably be better to bind the jumping to the 'key down' event, and require a second 'key down' to cancel.

The first game I have ever commented on here, on Newgrounds. I loved it. I might overinterpret (I def do!) but to me it said: "Be brave, don't follow suit, and don't live crawling under your security blanket". Thank you for this experience.

MadNukin responds:

I really like your interpretation, it's pretty close to what I had in mind.
I'm glad you enjoyed the game and thank you for giving it a chance.

I can't seem to get past the pit as an egg, only as a chicken. Is it supposed to be impossible?

Great game! I've never ever played as an egg before! Very original!

I played through this game multiple times, always wondering "But what would happen if I did THAT instead?" I think that's what games in this genre should strive for.

A few gripes:
- The game lacks any instructions whatsoever, and not everything about it is intuitive.
- There's no restart hotkey or button; when I wanted to play through the game again, I had to refresh the page.
- If you were going for what I think you were going for, I ruined it for myself by breaking my egg right at the beginning of my first playthrough. I... really don't know what you could've done to discourage that.
