Alright. While I'm having a lil difficulty working on my comic, and since I'm not really in the mood to make a completely new game from scratch (aka Blue World - Quest), I figure I should clean up a game that gets a lot of "I r teh liek ur gaem" comments, but I don't feel like it deserves that praise. So, I'm going to try and clean it up to make it worth said praise.

So, this is what I need. ACTUAL feedback on the game. What you liked, what you didn't like, what you would've liked if it was reworked a slight amount, that kind of stuff. Not "It's a good game" kind of stuff, because while it IS appreciated, it's not very helpful

Things I can't/won't do: link play, color, Doom/Wolfenstein-3d, isometrics, Zelda-style play.

Examples of what I'm talking about: "the maps are too small" "the game isn't long enough" "not enough secrets" "story is weak" "map/battle graphics need work"

Okay? ^^'
Thanks, everyone! I really appreciate it!

I will try the game out and let you know. Is it located here in the archives, or on ticalc?

For sure it's on ticalc.org idk if it was added here.

i tried it, but didn't get very far. Some features id like:
-Better overworld Sprites
-maybe some puzzles
-BAttles are already awesome, but maybe Better Graphics for Mark
-Custom Menus instead of using normal ones
-(already has awesome storyline, no need to change that

)
-more save points
-perhaps a realtime interface in battles?

i was thinking mortal kombat style

Most of the overworld stuff will be completely redone. I HAD some pictures for it, but for whatever reason my site isn't liking me offsite linking pics right now...looking into it...

Puzzles I've never really seen much a need for. I think I had 1 puzzle in MtSQuest - True that involved you going through a maze of sorts but I didn't like it too well. The game ain't Zelda, so beyond 'key and door' type puzzles I doubt I could get too heavily into it.

Better graphics for Marc I've already gotten fairly far on. Just need to polish them a bit and then do the special attacks but that'll be a while

Custom menues I'm working on, but I'm lazy and that's a lot of work so might be a lil while

Storyline doesn't entirely fit with the comic, so it's gonna be modified a tad bit.

Save points were done sparringly (one every other screen, i think it was) because the game was rather short and the maps weren't THAT huge. Plus what game have you played where there are 30 million save points in each room?

I'm not going to make a 'save anywhere' thing (though i DID break down and make an item for it) because there are parts in the game where you can't go back (purposely, such as the maze I mentioned or when you get to the bosses) because what if you aren't strong enough to beat the boss and need to go back and train but because of the save, you can't?

Realtime...I'm not so sure I want to do. I've never liked the idea of 2 people that want to kill each other just standing around while their action bars fill up. It just didn't feel real enough for me. Granted it's a game, but I still like that feel of realism to it. That's why I do turn-based and then have a 'speed' value to dictate who attacks first and whatnot.

also: originally I WAS going to make a version with a fighting style battle system, but that involved sprite flipping to make the system better, but since it's an app i'd have to make an external file that contained the flipped sprites and a lot of other work I didn't want. It's a good idea, but it's probably better for something like a computer which can handle things like that better.
