LRukyk's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[AtomWorks]

Playable but not really presentable.
This feels more like an experiment in game design rather than an actual game, but I will attempt to review it as a game. The concept is interesting and the game is quite playable, but the overall experience got boring fast (around level 7; sorry, couldn't be arsed to finish it, I suck). My main problem with this game is that it does not give a sense of accomplishment after a level or sub-level, it just loads the next one right away, with no indication if you're doing well or how many levels are left. And while I do appreciate the moody background music which sets the tone for the game, it is just the one looping track. After a while I started looking for a mute button and (forgive me if there was one) could not find it. You could have a good little game here if you could give players like me some more incentive to finish it, like a little backstory and/or different music tracks for different levels for example. In short, this game is playable, but lacks something to keep me hooked.

I completely understand what you're saying, that's why I'm working on the new mode to complement the existing levels. It's a big sandbox puzzle and it's going to reward player for finishing the levels in competitive ways.

There's a music on/off button on the menu but it's not really noticeable, it's because I was going for the minimal UI look. I'll probably need to rework the UI. And I still need to put in sound effects and hopefully that's going to make the overall audio presentation more enjoyable.

I'm still working on the game, building new game modes and levels so this is really great feedback.
Thanks for playing.
