Return The Crystals, Eh?

This is a game made before the platfformer update, one of CommanderCody's earlier games. I played this a while ago, but I think I'll review it now that I can. This game had a pretty cool beginning, where you have to jump into a well. The story is that one day prince james (you) was walking to crystal cave. When he got there, he saw a thug stealing ten crystals (ten crystals because there's going to be ten parts) so he chased the thug to a well but the thug got away. So Prince James returned to the castle to get his armor, and the chase began. Interesting storyline, and I like how it leads into 10 parts. return the crystals to crystal cave has pretty good action in it, with a small puzzle. It has a trap to the left where it seems like you found a shortcut but actually it led to lasers and you couldn't get back up. There's a trap past the well to the left, as well. After you go down the well, you enter into a HUGE water area. At the center, in the black, there's a key. Then you have to find your way out of the water, where there's a small opening at the bottom right. So you come out of the water, and you have to jump up to another platform before the ball rolls there. If you were too late, it creates a puzzle... The game reaches a climax when you have to battle a fire troll and then get through the other enemies to the crystal. There's a secret area with a lot of power-ups, which will help you defeat all the enemies, but it's hard to find.

This game to me was a little bit too easy, probably because you get the best armor right away, and the power-up area has too many power-ups. The ball creates a nice puzzle, but there really aren't too many puzzles in this game, only 1 or 2, depending on if you count the water area as a puzzle. Scenery is good until you exit the water area, then it becomes nonexistent. return the crystals to crystal cave was ~definitely~ too short, it left you wanting more.

Enemy placement was OK, I guess, but commandercody3857 should've added more instead of all in one place. Of course, this ~is~ one of his older games, and he has been making better ones now. Well, that's it for my review, now it's time for the ratings!
