FrOsTbiTE 2 is a game created by liammead

I felt like making a review that's an actual review, unlike the awful reviews other reviewers are making. I scanned the featured list and saw FrOsTbiTE 2 by liammead. I've reviewed another game by this user, so I wanted to see if he's improved. The answer is no. This game is disappointing for a variety of reasons.


The first thing you look at when you play a game is the name. FrOsTbiTE 2... hahahaha! Capitalizing the "o", "t" and "e" doesn't make the name look any cooler. Actually, it makes you look like a little five year old who wants to have a cool game name. After passing the hilariously awful title comes the actual game. FrOsTbiTE 2 is an 8-bit game, which kind of ruins the experience (I'll tell you more about this later). You start off with a crystal instantly given to you, which I believe is pointless. You can choose a variety of paths to take. I'll talk about one path, for you can play the rest. The player finds a George in their way and simply jumps over it. It doesn't harm you in any way if you just let it fall into a trap. Then you pass some crushers that do no damage if you just stay standing on them. You continue to have to jump from ice block to block and if you fall there's a totally useless Thor waiting to do nothing to you. Hopefully you get the gist of the game from that excerpt.


There are too many useless blocks and enemies in this game. As I said before, the George doesn't hurt, the crushers don't harm, and the Thor just fails. liammead didn't clean up his game before releasing it. The blocks are also randomly placed and just look wrong. I'm not sure if liammead meant to make the game this dull and boring, but it sure is. Next comes the scenery. The 8-bit kind of ruins the game. The blocks are so close together and the player feels constrained. There's no room for you to move how you'd like and when you try to jump you just hit a wall. The 8-bit style adds to this constraining feeling. The background is scattered, for what reason I have no idea. There's a full background at one point, and then there's just one block randomly out there. This seems silly, but it does add to a "broken" theme. As you play through the game you don't exactly feel that it's a snowy environment, which is what I relate frostbite to. The scenery was pretty disappointing.


You get very bored very fast when you play this game. It feels like every other platformer that's ever been made. You just pass enemies, jump a few times and run around. The game is no fun for the player. It kept me entertained for maybe 20 seconds until I was thinking of quitting. The game also has no winners, which tells the player that it may not even be possible.


Suggestion: liammead, instead of trying to release a game every two days for views how about you try to make a good game that introduces something new to Sploder. Your games aren't horrible, but they could be better if you spent time on them.

EDIT: The user complained about the outcome of the review, so I have taken off the generous point I gave the user. The game is now a 1/5.


FrOsTbiTE 2 has a silly, immature name, and is not a game that should be featured. Honestly, I think the person who featured this game needs to start thinking straight.


liammead you've made good games, but this one just didn't work.
