PyWeek - Super Effective 7 - feedback

top-notch production as usual from the super-effective team. i didn't get motion sickness as badly as many (i can't play FPS games at all) but the constantly spinning environment did make it hard to play the game. i couldn't play for all that long due to the discomfort.

I can't say how awesome this is.

This would probably have been my favorite if it wasn't for the goddamn awful camera. :D Great production values (minus not noticing the camera!) and the game mechanic itself is quite cool and it works. Argh the camera!

really good.

All I can say is, wow! I'm about 2/3 through all the games, and this is my favorite so far. Really cool cartoon-y feel. Excellent production. Very fun.

Awesome. The graphics and music are great, I liked the little stories (at least until the level I played). I liked how there were some crazier items, like the Google stock certificate. The idea was great, I liked how you used the string at the same time as an air tube, I liked the rotation of the levels. The levels were very well designed and interesting also. Unfortunately, I started to feel a bit exhausted during the game with all the spinning, and I was forced to stop playing. The spinning is an essential part of the game, it's too bad I had problems with it. For some reason I don't feel like playing the game again, possibly due to the dizziness, but other than that issue, you definitely reached what you were aiming for and probably passed it. This game was professional and great, very well executed, I wouldn't have guessed it took only a week to make it.

<p>The idea is nice, excellent implementation and cool graphics and storyline. The gameplay is missing somethign which I can not pinpoint.... also, switch puzzles are boring, and enemies do not match the kind of game I think.

Got the following error:

Reinstalled Pyglet with AVbin, download and installed AVbin separately, no effect, couldn't play it sorry!

Almost perfect, good job

<p>Wow! The svg graphics were aesthetic, the music was fitting, the sound effects provided fun feedback without being annoying, and the gameplay was wonderful... almost.</p>

<p>Playing this game has given me new wisdom: <i>Never build a house in a whirlpool.</i></p>

<p><i>... or a tornado.</i></p>

<p>I understand why you don't want a single 'up' direction, but all the swirling was difficult for me. Playing in window mode stopped the motion sickness, but I still had a terrible time navigating. I couldn't stop over-correcting. If an object wasn't along a wall, half the time I would miss it. The only way I could shoot a switch was to either stumble right up to it, or spend five seconds trying to aim. I wasn't able to make it past level 8, which is a shame considering how nice the levels are.</p>

Excellent use of theme! I like the creative and challenging level designs. Wonderful style and narration, too. Good job all around!

your game made me sick. looked good. could not play it. its not fun to barf.

You seem to have done it again.

Stuck in the second level, though, didn't reach the time machine...

Apart from the motion sickness problem, this is a really good game. Some levels are a bit needlessly repetitive though.

Very nice game all around, the motion sickness effect is the only thing I disliked.

I like the game.. made me feel sick which is fun too ;)

well... very nauseating..

Very nice, didn't have too much of a problem with nausea, although I could see how it's possible, but I like the mechanic personally, perhaps you could make it an option, either have you rotate or have the world rotate

Great game, great idea.. I don't suffer from motion sickness so I enjoyed it a lot!

Holy crap, that's some nice production. I think it wasn't the best idea to have the map rotate around the player, but you might have already decided that it was the best of a series of possibilities. I'm surprised you managed to get so many levels in, and so much polish done.

Ok, I'm almost pucking, I swear. It's the first time it happens to me playing a video game. I'm not feeling physically well at all!! :(

Nice idea, although the rotational movement cannot be healthy!!

nice graphics!
instead of rotating the world it would be better to rotate the player... that would improve the gameplay a lot. after playing for 3 or 4 minutes I had to quit because of headache.

This is awesome! The world is still spinnging after playing. The user interface is very nice and fitting, music is moody. Levels are carefully designed. My favorite!

Nice, but dizzying...

So I guess this game is about the length of a piece of *pipe*? Unless string was utilized somewhere else I missed (I only played to level 3). Excellent game!

I don't suffer from motion sickness from games, but this game is an exception! Great execution of a great idea.

Nice game. Fits the theme well too.

I really liked this game. You used the theme so well :)

Unfortunately I got a little dizzy playing

Great looking!

Beautiful game! I love the storyline and the humor and all of the cheesy puns and the easter eggs -- it's got great depth. :)<br><br>
Only two things -- it's too easy to get lost (minimap would help), and it's too easy to get nauseated. Though I must admit, it's a testament to the fun of your game that it keeps me playing past how long I should before my eyes go all woogly. Great job on the game! Once I got the brain of Walt Disney and proof of the Riemann Hypothesis, I'm hooked, and I can't wait to see what other things I'm missing! :)

Really cool graphics, nice music and sfxs. Brilliant idea =)

I only have pyglet 1.0, so no pyglet.app module.

This was a pretty good idea, and the production was great but the enemies were just too annoying.

The continually rotating camera literally made me sick. The amount of music, graphics, and storyline however, got you a big bonus. I'm sorry, but I can't give you a higher score in gameplay due to the dizzying camera.

fun, well presented, and just a little dizzying.
