Review of "The Legend of Knax"

Not a bad start. But I wouldn't release a Demo until you've at least knocked out the major bugs in the core engine.
Some things I noticed were:
-The companion cannot follow you very well, and often either gets stuck in the floor, or cannot jump to where you jump.
-The collision checking is off. You end up standing on air sometimes, and you get places you don't want to be.
- you cant quit the game, I had to alt + f4, if you are going to let the player play in full screen, you gotta have a way to quit.
some things you should consider fixing:
-the placement of the speech bubbles are in an odd place (the top left corner) it hurts the eyes to look up in the corner and then down at whats going on a ton. try placing them in the center.
-no sound, its kind of eerie, even for a demo.
-interface was a bit awful
Some things I really liked:
-The graphics are really good, I guess it payed off, having a 40+ posted topic, because it looks very professional.
-The story seems well thought out, and you are never unsure of whats going on.

all in all, not a bad start. But really a demo means a demonstration of how awesome the game is, not how much you have so far. Even though its just a demo, that's no excuse not to add music, sound effects, and even an enemy or two to defeat. You also never explain the end of the demo, leaving the player to wonder "oh, was that it?" I assume with this game the action is going to be the hook of the game, so for the demo you need to show the very best of the action, so that players will really want to get into your game when it comes out.

overall 2/5
