This was the first ever time a developer contacted me following a review. This post is actually the post that changed my life forever. This is the moment I found out that I had been discovered by the XBLIG development community. Within the next two weeks, IGC, before its first month was over, was the most read Xbox Live Indie Game site in the world.

Well I don’t know if you’ll still read this, but I’ve just been playing your game and I want to say a couple of things.

Firstly, all credit to you for graciously taking the criticism. It takes some strength of character to not get defensive – to hold your hands up and say “yeah, I made some mistakes there”.

Secondly, I think the game has potential. I haven’t got to the later stages yet, so I can’t say how bad it gets, but in places the level designs can be pretty decent. Personally I’m also quite fond of the ability to accelerate in the air AFTER jumping. It’s a nice touch.

Not a GREAT game, it’s true, but no one gets everything right the first time. Hopefully you’ll make another game, and I’ll check that out too.

I wanted to create a really hard game but I realize now that when I created the game I focused on the difficulty than the actual game play. I also think I became “too” good at the game since I had to spend so much time creating different levels and testing them. This made me far better at the game then anyone else so a challenge I thought was hard became almost impossible for anyone else.

Anyway thanks for the review, I will try to take your critique and make my next game better.(you can get that one for free since I liked this review even though it was negative, and because you feel like you wasted 80ms points on this game)
