So i somehow missed this before! Just loaded this to my 83+ and it's really cool, you get lots of exposure with the words. Here are some of my thoughts:
- When beating a level or losing, you've got a _GetKey call (and turning the calc off will crash
) which is just kinda weird since everywhere else you can use 2nd to advance.
- The keys on the main menu aren't exactly intuitive, i tried using the arrow keys to change level packs and 2nd to pick a level. Not really an issue though
- Watch out for those nukes! It's a little hard to tell exactly how far away you need to be to nuke one of the Gruzzles. Most of my deaths were self-induced
- It's a little frustrating having to start from scratch whenever you die, especially if you've nuked yourself or stepped on water or something silly like that. What about having a number of chances to get through a level (say 3) where you can die twice without losing your progress, if you die a third time you have to start that level over from scratch?
I forgot what else i wanted to say! Overall i think it's really cool, i wasn't sure how i was going to feel about the lack of physics but it's actually kinda cool being able to fly around. The controls are really quick and responsive. Sometimes the worlds feel really huge, though i don't know if that's good or bad
I like how all the words in the foreign language reappear even if you've already collected that word, you get lots of exposure to the words. Right now i think the biggest thing is just the feeling you get when you die and have to collect all the words over again. At first i died quite a bit but quickly figured things out, i still nuke myself quite a bit and having to start over when you've already collected 4 or 5 words just kinda sucks
Anyway, very cool and i'll try to put together some Spanish packs and if i can figure out how to fit some Chinese characters into 16x16 sprites maybe we can have a little Chinese pack (though i think a Chinese pack would be better with characters and pinyin, rather than English translations).
