Blind Angst


I will be reviewing Blind Angst by ogglee276. I know ogglee276 for his incredible games so I figured I would check this one out. Ogglee276's Endo was a great platformer game and I wondered if this one could hold up to it. I love the name of this game. Angst is the German root word for anxiety.


The scenery in this game couldn't be better. I like the crates used at the beginning. They add more essence to the game and create the setting. The background tiles enhance the look and feel of the factory that you are trapped in. The fancy floor tiles also add a feeling of prison or jail. The tunnels can also be counted as scenery for they add a unique feeling to the situation.


Blind Angst is actually a game leaning toward the easy side. There really isn't anything to prevent you from progressing very far in the game. I would add a few more enemies waiting at the bottom of the tunnels. Maybe even an extra course at the bottom of the tunnels. This game does get difficult when you are crossing the killer lava pits later in the game though.


Blind Angst is a very creative game. The crates at the beginning of the game implement a very new concept. I also like the description of Blind Angst, "Don't flail, don't be full of angst. Don't be a wimp. Just do it. Just run. Do your objective. You have a purpose on this planet, you know.". I have never seen a description like that in all the months that I have been on Sploder.

(50% of game given)

You start in an underwater facility with no way out but up. But before you go upwards, you must retrieve the key. Once you do, you can travel up the waiting stairs. You'd better be pretty prepared for this next part because it isn't something that you would normally find in games. You plummet down into the ground for quite a ways. This can get boring pretty quickly though. After you reach the unforgiving ground, an enemy ambush is waiting for you. But don't stress; they are only SegFaults.


Suggestions

I would add a few more puzzles and traps to this game. Also, a few extra weapons would help the new members.
