PyWeek - Balloon Escape - feedback

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | 3 | 3 | Interesting gameplay, limiting the control to velocity.. Clean graphics too. |
||
| 2 | 3 | 2 | kind of boring game after a moment, but kudos for the effort |
||
| 2 | 3 | 3 | Fun game, but there's almost no control over the balloon. Also you had the "Segmentation Fault" again so I had to use python 2.4. |
||
| 4 | 4 | 5 | Cool idea, well implemented. Needs a bit more variety/levels, and a second chance if you get hit. |
||
| 2 | 3 | 3 | Too many ways to lose; so winning depends a lot on being lucky... A lot of time I felt I had very little control about what happens (being able only to choose between different ways to lose). |
||
| 2 | 3 | 3 | a bit difficult sometimes: there are so many ways you can lose! :) graphics are simple and nice |
||
| 3 | 3 | 4 | Game caused a segmentation fault in Python2.5(winXP), but ran fine in Python2.4(winXP). Crazy-hard! |
||
| 1 | 1 | 1 | yes | Segfaults under Windows for using the data.py incorrectly (load instead of filepath on some occasions, like when loading images in pygame). This isn't also as easy to fix as some of the others, because on some occasions load is actually used like it's supposed to too. |
|
| 2 | 3 | 4 | This really needs some sounds! |
||
| 2 | 3 | 3 | The idea that you can only use air currents to move sideways is interesting, but that makes the game quite tough. I wasn't able to have much fun because of this lack of control. |
||
| 3 | 3 | 3 | Even the easy level was hard |
||
| 4 | 4 | 4 | Loads of fun! This game is really good, and very well balanced such that I was able to beat the game on even the hardest difficulty with enough tries. Some of the hard levels felt un-beatable, but you just start a new one and do your best -- it was all a lot of fun! The graphics were cute, and I loved the sprite of the deflated balloon falling towards the earth -- it felt really natural (even though I didn't enjoy losing that way). I was also *extremely* impressed with the collision poly on the balloon -- birds and rocks colliding with the basket didn't pop the balloon, and I thought that was really cool. The only slight beef I would have is that fuel canisters can't be picked up by the basket, but that's the only thing that I found off with it. |
||
| 2 | 3 | 3 | Very good interpretation of the theme. THe game was fun to play, but pretty short. |
||
| 1 | 1 | 1 | Nice idea, could be better though, but then there is always next time! |
||
| 3 | 4 | 4 | Nice game. It was kinda weird that a single bird would make the balloon fall, but a fuel tank would not... |
||
| 4 | 2 | 4 | very cool, once I got it to run ;) |
||
| 1 | 2 | 2 | it is very difficult to play |
||
| 3 | 3 | 4 | The game has the same problem as a couple of others, it tries to load fileobject to a surface (=> |
||
| 3 | 4 | 3 | Nice game idea.. i also wanted to do such thing but wanted something else eventually. |
||
| 1 | 1 | 1 | yes | Kept getting fatal errors |
|
| 2 | 2 | 2 | Winning or losing on this game mostly depends on luck, I think there are too many random elements and not enough control. |
||
| 3 | 4 | 3 | Frustrating. The up and the down. The fickle blowings of the wind. A definite challenge. |
||
| 5 | 4 | 5 | Nice game. I was first thinking that the falling fuel will damage the balloon. You know, I was too lazy to read the README. |
||
| 1 | 2 | 2 | The theme is clearly followed: the only way is up. There do seem to be many games involving a |
||
| 2 | 3 | 4 | could not see the whole menu. fonts too big? |
||
| 2 | 3 | 3 | A very good first pyweek entry, though is missing sound. I missed having control over the balloon, felt like venting air really didn't do anything. Original idea though (as far as I can tell) |
||
| 2 | 3 | 2 | Kind of hard. |
||
| 3 | 4 | 3 | Nicely done. The lag between input and response is frustrating. Perhaps some realism could be sacrificed for more fun. |
||
| 2 | 5 | 4 | Very nice graphics, and nice idea, but I just couldn't get to grips with it enough to get more |
||
| 1 | 1 | 3 | yes | Sry but could not run your game Error Msg: This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. |
|
| 4 | 3 | 4 | fun game, manouvering the baloon is tricky but rewarding when it works. it's missing polish |
||
| 4 | 3 | 4 | Just add some music, sound and a 'Splash!' animation when crashing down - then the game's almost finished. Yeah, some kind of score may be nice, too. The game itself is already fun! :) |
||
| 1 | 1 | 1 | yes | I tried to run this game under windows and received a "runtime error" ["This application has requested the runtime to terminate in an unusal way"]. |
|
| 3 | 3 | 3 | funny game with almost no menu and settings possibilities and only one level. Score and bigger level can longer fun. |
||
| 3 | 2 | 3 | Not bad, but a little more control would be nice, and it has some great potential for sfx that are unfulfilled. |
||
| 2 | 2 | 3 | The controls were quite frustrating, although I did manage to make it out of the canyon on most settings except the "Dare me" one. |
||
| 3 | 3 | 5 | A bit hard even on the "wimpy" setting, but with some practice this turns out to be a fun game. |
||
| 3 | 3 | 2 | Lacks a bit of fun as you can't control your balloon that much, it's quite a bit of just watching and praying. Nice graphics :) |
||
| 2 | 3 | 3 | It certainly was an innovative idea to restrict control to the height of the flame, a lot of the time though, death feels random, when the wind blows you into the wall etc. Easier levels ramping up to the harder ones, and more obvious wind flow (instead of random, only have wind where you can see exactly what the wind is doing) would improve it a lot. |
||
| 4 | 3 | 4 | Great little game. Cool concept. |
||
| 4 | 4 | 4 | A nifty idea, and smoothly implemented. With greater variety, this could be a very nice game. A comment about the controls -- if the orange bar is meant to represent the amount of hot air in |
||
| 2 | 3 | 3 | I think the player does not have real control over the balloon. Just a little bit left/right steering would have been great. |
||
| 1 | 1 | 1 | yes | Segmentation fault in windows...Shame, looks nice in the pics... |
|
| 2 | 2 | 4 | Good job for a first entry. =) |
||
| 4 | 3 | 4 | I quite enjoyed this game. The lack of direct control was almost refreshing, because there is a strategy (and a clear one at that) for getting to where you need to go. I liked the graphics, and the game had a very even flow to it. Thank you! |
||
| 1 | 1 | 1 | yes | Fatal Python error: (pygame parachute) Segmentation Fault This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. |
|
| 3 | 3 | 3 | Was kinda fun :) Some sounds would've been nice. And the collision detection failed sometimes. |
||
| 2 | 2 | 4 | Nice graphics, but there are some ways that I think the game could be improved.<br> |
