*Jester's hunt(need 3rd memory card)

My email account is J_uxtapositio_n@yahoo.com (underscore between J/u and o/n, no spaces in yahoo.com), tell me if you need to send me the game through email. Otherwise it'd just be easier to download.

[Valkysas]

if you review any, feel free to reply to their submission threads with the review.

[Vonwert]

I'll send you my dective game for you to review. Just post your e-mail.

[Split Infinity]

My email is J_uxtapositio_n. Once I get YIM, my name should also be Infinity_Split. Valkysas, so do I submit a review in the submission forum for each game or in the game forum for each game?

EDIT: Um, it underlined my email..there's an underscore between J and u, and between o and n.

[Valkysas]

in th submissions forums, you'll find 4 categories of games. go in one, you'll see a topic for every game on the pavilion. go into the topic for the game you reviewed, and reply to it with your review.

[Vonwert]

Sent. :)

[Pandacon]

ok, where's the review....

I thought you said you were gonna do this "quickly"

:p

[Draygone]

Jester's Hunt!!!

Someday, maybe a million years from now, I'll have some other game made that needs to be reviewed.

[Czechs Mex]

Good topic. I'm glad you're doing this, cause I'm busy as hell right now. Go to my topic, "I will review your RPGM1 games". There's a whole list of people who want their games reviewed in the first post.

[Split Infinity]

After I posted my e-mail I took a nap :p so I just now got back up.

I only have two memory cards available at a time, so if I run into one that requires more than two at a time, I'll have to hold it off.

[Draygone]

Oh. Nevermind.

[Split Infinity]

I'm currently working on Private Dick(Gustaff), and I was wondering if there was a guide. I found myself having no problem moving along, and I'm enjoying the game very much right now. The..uh..pleasure store just appeared, and I have a gun and some flowers and paperclip and all, but I have no idea where to go now. I tried giving the matches back to everyone at the Barhot and all, but I'm stuck.

Could anyone help me or point me to a guide?

[Gustaff 13]

Private message me, I'll give you tips for where you're at.
If you have the Carnival open, you can buy hints from Miss Cleo's booth.
You can become stuck if you waste your money, that was my number one complaint.

[Czechs Mex]

Pleasure store? Miss Cleo? Man, I gotta get around to playing that one.

[Split Infinity]

I wasted more than enough money trying to get the golden egg in that minigame :lol

BTW, very nice job on the minigame :)

[Cutter De Blanc]

Bingo's F'd Up Quest.

[Split Infinity]

I -FINALLY- have open time again. I apologize about the long delay, I had quite a few family issues come up. I will finish Gustaff's game, then I'll get to Bingo's F'd up quest. I'll go ahead and send the review to you(makers) if you'd like along with posting it here(and in the game's thread).

Dash Handsome - review by Split Infinity


(Outline-Adventure games)
Story /10
Characters/10
Battles/10
Overall entertainment/30
Puzzles/Dungeons /40




Story -
5/10

The story appealed to me at first. However, it just disappeared into the background after the first 5 minutes. It wasn't brought back up until the end of the game. I particularly like the criminal old-movie-like style.


Characters
6/10

There were really only four characters that were anything beyond flat. And of those, only two had much of a personality.

Battles
7/10

It's a nicely done CBS. The attack animations were nicely done and I found myself laughing at a few of them :p. However, the Rock-Paper-Scissors style can be VERY annoying. Battles of (pure) chance don't have much going for them, excluding possibly in a gambler's collection.

Overall Entertainment
25/30

The entire item system was very, very well done. Not knowing what to do with an item was aggrivating at times, but using an item and not seeing a little stat box come up was extremely satisfying :lol. The events flowed smoothly and I found myself wanting to keep playing despite the lack of likable characters, which is rare for me to do. The battles were not really entertaining, but I loved the dungeons and puzzles.

Puzzles/Dungeons
38/40

The dungeons had a refreshingly unique and attractive appearance. Puzzles required thinking but weren't the kind of puzzle with which you had to spend hours meditating. Very nicely done.



Overall - 81/100

Dash Handsome has a lot of things going for it that are needed in an adventure game. The dungeons pull you into their unique atmosphere. Puzzles are entertaining and don't cause agitation. Events flowed smoothly and I found myself laughing quite a few times.

Even though the game has a nice plot backdrop, it never really manifests itself except in the very beginning and very end. Characters were boring and 2D, with Dash being the only character I actually liked.

As for the battles... I personally disliked the style of battle, but if you're into rock/paper/scissors, then it's all for you.

Dash Handsome is great for what it is, an adventure game. If you had spent more time with character and plot development, or leaned more towards the humorous side, it could have been a lot better. You made it a comedy, and it is funny, but you should either have that comedy side show more, or actually develop on what I feel is a good plot.

All in all, a very good job.

[Gustaff 13]

Sounds fair to me.
Dash was more of a way for me to showcase puzzles and pull off cheap jokes than to tell a story.

Would you repost it under the game's download in the submissions board?

Any idea what you'll be reviewing next?

[Vonwert]

Edit:

I didn't read your edited post, but I have just sent my game to you.

It is only about a 10 minute game, so it shouldn't take you long.

[Ixzion]

Acre-age.

Hey, sometimes a reviewer likes his stuff reviewed, too! :p

[Draygone]

Wait, was Acre-age finished and nobody told me?

[Ixzion]

Not that I know of. :p

[Split Infinity]

It's placed under your game's thread, and I'll be reviewing Vonwert's game next. It's short and he's the one who originally asked. Then I'll do Bingo's effed up quest and then acre-age.

[Cutter De Blanc]

This is less than quick. :(

[Draygone]

Split doesn't seem to have been around for this last week...

[Yeaster]

I wouldn't mind if you review Black Ribbon. I'm sending it to you now. :) Also, if/when you get done, can you email me your review as well, please? It's Eikichi@juno.com. Thanks.
