It's ok

Another "swap and connect three" game (Bejeweled). The concept is overused and you didn't really give it an original twist.

That being said, the game works smoothly.

The graphics are totally un-attractive. Swapping squares is not as fun as swapping glowing jewels, animal faces or other stuff. Animation is minimal. The grey background is plain. You are perhaps more a coder than a designer and that's ok.

Awesome as usual

Wow! AdultSwim did it again: another masterpiece.
Your games are truly original! They always feature a theme that we haven't seen anywhere else, a nice touch of humour, retro graphics, compelling gameplay and awesome music. What else can we ask for!

I like Death Row Diner. I thought that the levels were well designed.
They introduced novel elements to slowly elevate the level of difficulty.
My only minor qualm is that the learning curve could have been steeper.
I thought that it was too slow.

Nice retro game

AHAH! Really liked it. Nice retro feel. Colors and graphics remind me of Excitebike.
I think the music shares a few notes with Gillette - Don't want no short dick man. AHAHAH!

I think the "game over" screen should display your distance. Maybe also my personal best, which I could try to beat.

In a future version, I'd like to see some powerups, levels, and why not a few enemies... ;)

Excellent feedback, particularly the bit about the game over screen displaying your score. I'm taking notes and will keep this all in mind for a future update :).

For now, if you have an Xbox, you can try that version for more levels! :). Thanks for the great review!

Awesome game

You really did a great job! The game was adrenaline-packed and totally immersive.
The puzzles were original and, even if some were redundant, there was always a new twist to make them slightly different and captivating.
The music felt great so you made a nice choice there.
The old-style graphics were perfect.
The one-button concept is not innovative but your game is awesome nonetheless, you pulled it off quite nicely.
Arthur is a charming hero.

Good game

Perfect little time waster. Well coded. Music is awesome and fits the game visuals perfectly.
I don't know how to improve... different levels with different backgrounds maybe?
Each level with a increasing difficulty and unlockable badass guitars? :)

Soltex responds:

Yeah Could be.

Thanks for the review!

Didn't like it

The graphics were ok and the animation was pretty solid.

However, I'll be honest, I feel the game didn't reach its full potential and I didn't enjoy it.

First, we are not presented with a puzzle but rather thrown in a random scene with little clue about what we have to achieve. Therefore, we end up clicking randomly in order to perform actions and in the hope of collecting any objects. The gameplay pretty much end there: clicking randomly everywhere on the screen.

Often, the action cannot be foreseen and leads to an unexpected death, which is pretty uninteresting. The logic behind each puzzle is your own and the player as no way to find it. There is no indications of why we collect a specific object. No inventory to keep track of what we have, so the puzzle do not make much sense until they are completed. Why does the character assembles a parachute in one scene but not in the other when presented with a similar hurdle if all the required elements are present? Once we realize that the game is a random click fest, there is no incentive to continue to play the game. One incentive could have been a story. Another would have been a proper introduction to each puzzle...

Clearly, the visuals are polished but the gameplay and the puzzles are lacking.

Happy Clock Day

Epic game is epic.

I am happy I have "palyed" this game.

Good old school game

Reminds me of metroid and other great games of the 80's

BON TRAVAIL LES BOYS!

Ahaha nice game

Nice little game that perfectly fulfills its goal: "10 seconds gameplay project".
You gave it a great spin with an original theme, a touch of humour and a well rendered 8-bit style.
LOVED IT!

I, personally, can turn water into wine. It is always a crowd pleaser at parties...
I must admit that I over-abuse of the skill... which sometimes makes me pass out half naked on my front lawn !!

Not as polished as your other games

I thought I would write an honest review:

I am a big fan of yours but this is not your best game. It falls short in my opinion:

The game is simplistic and the controls are extremely minimal.
The background is not as flashy and crowded as in your other games.
The soundtrack is not as immersive as usual.
The balls falling from the trees could be random to add more challenge and strategy.
There could be a way to drive the car more fuel-efficiently so that we feel like there is more gameplay to it.
More random events could happen, power ups etc.

Still, we recognize your style and the delicious dose of absurdity that you inject in your games :)

Thanks to all the fans for your support. Special thx to those who are sending comments/feedback. It is appreciated.
