If he was as dumb as this makes him out to be he would have suggested injecting disinfectant at a coronavirus task force briefing.

Oh, yes!

5'ing, since we need more tutorials In the portal.

As a comment, I think with cave walls it's ok to be slightly brain-dead and let the brushes you are using to establish rock formations randomly.

I think the stuff you said about references and lighting is great. But I think it's worth underlining to think about where the light source is. Is the light coming from the viewer, or the subjects in your scene?

What bugs me is that while we both have a looky-findy game published around the same time, your games been coded so that I could expect somebody could play this game on a phone, which is a huge plus.

Not to mention all the pixel artwork from the almighty Poxpower.

*grumble grumble 10/10*

Phew, finally managed to get to the end, so now I can feel like I can write a fair review.

If you're looking for a game to play for 2-3 hours, complete and forget about, do something else.
If you love Zelda games, give this game a good thrashing.

I have spent the past week playing this game, and it's a lot of fun. There is so much stuff to explore in this game, the enemies will give you a good fight, and the bosses can be REAL monsters. But never let that deter you, since it takes time to recognise strategies to beat them (especially on the final one).

Sticking with it, I have learnt the game is extremely rewarding. Apart from the usual moonstone and heart piece pick-ups for exploring, there are items for acting with citizens and the sense of accomplishment for beating certain areas is great.

The pixel artwork is top quality. I think that the pixel style is a bit overdone in these games, since I think we need to move with the times. But I will say that there is a lot of creativity and imagination, and looking back there are so many different backgrounds, creatures, people ... along with cut scenes and flashbacks. The artist did a great job.

===HINTS FOR THE GAME===
- Don't piss off the bees.

Overall a fantastic game, especially if you love exploring. Despite finishing the game, I've still got 34% more to complete, so I'd better make some progress ...

Pretty discordant. It’s not noise, but it doesn’t sound structured.

This needs a music video or something, because there's an ever-changing narrative going-on as the track progresses. Really like the section with the piano near the start.

Happy Robot Day, by the way!

Yup

I was holding back my review on this 'til the results were announced ...

... but you 100% nailed the gruff, stressed-out voice I thought the Monkey dude would have. Sounds like he has a hint of Frasier Crane about him as well.

Excellent job!

Somebody reported this pic as it uses AI, so I watched through the process video to understand what your involvement was.

While I can see this is your creation, the AI assisted part is incredibly unnecessary. The original picture is fine, it’s a vector image. The AI process then takes it and produces something that is similar to your pic …. and then you spend 2-hours editing all the images to make it an amalgamation of pics that just looks inconsistent and slightly off.

I’m not going to second guess why you chose to make an “AI assisted pic” but I think you would have been better off either learning how to use Photoshop or an equivalent to develop a painterly style, or pushing your talents with vectorised characters further.

I’m going to try showcasing this so that it gets more views, as I think it’s worth sharing and encouraging submissions that help others improve.

Blame me if the score tanks (4.65 at time of writing)!
