Ancient Palace Beta Review
By Bluewonder on

Pros: It's a beta version, so it will probably get better... Good story and Idea!
Cons: No sound! Non original graphics! Repetitive. HARD TO MOVE!!!
Ancient Palace
This interesting looking game caught my eye, and I had fun playing it for the first few levels. Very quickly, though, I got frustrated as well as bored. Your game info all sounded very impressive, but the game was not quite one to match. The movement was my biggest concern.
Graphics:
The Graphics were unoriginal. The name of the game sounded very promising, making me think I was going to see some cool-looking ancient Egyptian artifact sprites, but all I got was generic Game Maker ones. That was disappointing. Maybe I did not get far enough, but from what I saw it was not very impressive in the way of graphics. 2/5
Sound:
There was none! NONE! I think sound makes a game, and by it lacking sound made the whole game feel lacking! A 1/5.
Gameplay:
The game seemed repetitive and pointless, and did not offer exactly what I expected. I don't even know what the point of the books were, and what were the coins for???
A 2/5.
Story:
The story sounded nice in the game info section, but it did not have any more story after that. A 2/5.
Interface:
Very hard moving.This is the part that was very annoying. Your sprite moved so fast and the walls were so close together that I had to try about 15 times to get him into another room! I did not go far in the game because of it's hard navigation, making me get frustrated and give up. So, I will give this game a 1/5 just because the movement was so annoying that I actually quit and did not finish the game.
Overall, the game gets a 1/5. The movement was SO Frustrating. I'm sure this game would have been 100x's better if the movement was better. Please fix this for the final version.I would have gotten farther and done more. Please make the person either go slower, or make the door wider.
All in all, good 2nd game. Hope your final version goes well!

I understand all of your criticism, I do plan on taking your review and making the game better with your suggestions. I, at this time, have shifted my focus to my other game, Project Pheonix, as well as another project being worked on by my team.
