Kuroshiro Review
By Pallas on 22 August 2008


Pros: To start, I really like the title of the game; it makes me eager to know what's the game about. The rope-gameplay is really cool, and the physics seem te be realistic and seem to be bugless.

Cons: Sometimes it is still confusing what certain obstacles do. It would be nice if you could implement something like a info box that appears when your mouse goes over an obstacle. Graphics are fairly simple, they can be improved I think; I'll explain th

at more.
The story could be more accented.

Overall, it's a solid, polished puzzle platform. A great improvement can still be made in the graphics. The black and white of Shiro

and Kuro is now too less accented; in my opinion softer colors would be better, and not (for example) marine blue. You could also change the colors of the keys to more natural colors instead of pure red and marine blue. Shading would make it nicer too!
The level editor is a nice extension. I don't know whether it is a bug, but there's no rope between Kuro and Shiro in the level editor.
Music is a bit irritating after a while.
It might be me, but I can't really see how the movement of one character influences the movement of the other at the other side of the rope.
The menu could be more dynamic too. For example, Kuro and Shiro that are passing by, or a moving background.
The way to start at a level you've already completed (the save function) is not so easy to find.

I hope you agree with me and that you're able to make it even better!

    I must say Kuro and Shiro look nice though!
    A little shading will make it prettier, but will not make it inconsistent to the rest in my opinion.

    Whatever you do, good luck in the comp!

    Thanks for the review, as for the rope in the level editor, It causes a bug if I put it in the room and the level creator decides to only make either Kuro or Shiro. As for the graphics, yes they could be much much better, but I really am not good with graphics, so I went with consistency instead of having one or two thing stand out by looking good.
