|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | 3 | 2 | seems enough but so slow to play in my computer |
||
| 4 | 3 | 4 | Pause at end of level / death really interrupts the flow of the game. Italic green text on light grey background breaks eyeballs. |
||
| 1 | 1 | 1 | yes | Game starts but after choosing new game the graphics get frozen (background music keeps |
|
| 3 | 3 | 3 | yes | I can run it, but after clicking "New game" my avatar will just remain there, no matter how many times I hit the left or right arrow. When I go back to the console, I can see messages of the style "Unhandled event MouseMotion." and can't go back to the game again |
|
| 2 | 3 | 2 | I tried it on Linux and Windows. On Windows I had to comment out the music for it to run, but then it behaved more or less like on Linux. |
||
| 1 | 1 | 1 | yes | The game becomes frozen when "New Game" is started. I see only a static picture. |
|
| 4 | 4 | 3 | Love the music! I got comments from others in the room while I played about the tunes! |
||
| 1 | 3 | 2 | the game is too buggy to be playable. too bad you invested so much in music and pictures for the animation, instead of the code. |
||
| 1 | 1 | 1 | yes | XP/Python 2.5/Pygame 1.7.1. The game stops responding completely after choosing start game from the menu. Lots of unhandled event error messages. |
|
| 2 | 2 | 2 | Seems like a very good start of a game. I ran into a few problems like going up ladders and glitching in walls that made it pretty hard to control. Definitely keep up the good work, I am a huge fan of platformers. |
||
| 3 | 4 | 3 | Good combination of sneak and platform genres |
||
| 2 | 3 | 3 | I would have given this a higher Fun rating, but it became almost unplayably slow for me on level 3, and I gave up after persevering almost to the top of that level and then getting killed. Something is badly wrong -- a game like this should hardly be taxing my system at all (MacOSX 10.4, Python 2.5, dual 1.25GHz PPC G4). |
||
| 2 | 2 | 2 | At level 3(or 4 maybe) it felt like I had activated some sort of "for x in range(100000): |
||
| 3 | 3 | 3 | Nice game! I'm impressed at the nice progression of levels that you have, and the way you nicely integrate the levels with a tutorial. That's nice! I also like how you have a vague McGuffin as the plot device, that being what your enemy stole -- it's a very nice touch. |
||
| 3 | 2 | 3 | The game was fun, but several things seemed to be only partially functioning. The cameras seem to go off randomly (with an annoying noise) and the game significantly lagged at later stages. |
||
| 3 | 3 | 4 | - |
||
| 3 | 3 | 2 | It would be nice if it was more obvious when the cameras can see you and when they can't. Like a visual indication of the area that it sees. Climbing the stairs was weird. It would have been nice if the character actually climbed the stairs instead of warping to the other storey. |
||
| 2 | 3 | 2 | gameplay needs to be improved. |
||
| 3 | 3 | 2 | Ninjas...Security cameras that do about nothing...Can a game be cooler? |
||
| 2 | 2 | 3 | Nice idea, could've used a little more work on getting the combat and feel more interesting. When I got to the third level, the framerate dropped considerably, which I find kind of strange. Was pretty much unplayable. |
||
| 3 | 2 | 3 | It was kind of fun, but when I got to the server room everything slowed down to a crawl and became unplayable. Also, some ladder climbing animation would have been nice. |
||
| 3 | 2 | 1 | It seems like nothing changes when an alarm goes off. This game feels less like a stealth game |
||
| 1 | 2 | 2 | yes | the instructions opened and when I made it to the door it crashed. The console was filled with : Unhandled Event Mouse Motion. |
|
| 2 | 2 | 2 | had to turn off music, didnt work on mac. the game gets really slow as the levels advance. in the server room level, i can barely move. cameras can see me from other levels! do they do anything or just annoy? kicking guards is easier than avoiding them, specially since the game gets so slow :) as i could manage to play the game, im not ticking "did not work". Traceback (most recent call last): |
||
| 1 | 1 | 1 | yes | Game did not start. I got the following error: File "D:\temp\pyweek-4-finals\Trailblazer3\Ascent-0.5-src\directicus\sfx.py", Today's Pyweek lesson: Don't use MP3 files! |
|
| 3 | 2 | 3 | Well, I had to comment out the line where you tried to play mp3 files. For some reason Pygame doesn't support mp3 playback, probably due to the non-free mp3 license. Other than that, the game played. I got through a few levels. The controls were pretty good. Overall, one of the better games. Good work. |
||
| 3 | 4 | 3 | Animation was good, although some levels were unplayably slow. Cute ending, though. Thanks! |
||
| 3 | 3 | 2 | Some nice touches, but ultimately, unfinished. The server room level ran very slowly. Cameras seem to be able to see through floors, and have no effect other than making noise. |
||
| 1 | 1 | 1 | yes | Traceback (most recent call last): I have mp3 libraries installed and can play the music on vlc/amarok. I use OGG Vorbis so that this problem doesn't plague my games. |
|
| 2 | 2 | 3 | The idea was good, the production was bad. The text is too striking on the screen. Could have |
||
| 1 | 1 | 1 | yes | I couldn't run the game - apparently because the music was in mp3 format. I got into the main menu when I commented out the music playing part, though... |
|
| 1 | 1 | 1 | yes | I tried to run this game (Windows), but as soon as I entered a level (any level) the game freezed and I had to kill the task. |
|
| 1 | 1 | 1 | yes | Couldn't move. Just got a bunch of unhandled mouse events after starting |
|
| 3 | 3 | 2 | yes | under windows and linux i just can't move the charactor (and get lots of mousmotion not handled events) |
|
| 3 | 3 | 4 | Ran slow on some of the later levels, and couldn't figure out the security camera gimmick. (What they're for? Why to avoid?) Nice animations, and the neato effect when you send enemies go flying enhance the somewhat bland level design. Does show promise. |
||
| 3 | 3 | 2 | Unfortunately on the third level it was extremly slow for me. Not a bad one though. |
||
| 3 | 4 | 3 | Very hard - guards move so quickly, and I seem to be detected at some random distance from the cameras even if I'm on a different floor. |
||
| 2 | 5 | 3 | Very nice animations and graphics. The game runs very slow on my machine, however. Also, the controls could use some work. |
||
| 1 | 3 | 2 | Seemed incomplete. The guards were pushovers, the kicking as they approached didn't knock |
