Ideally is a game created by filiptokic

Hello, this is Senbaki and today I will not be reviewing for [STAR] as I'm doing a solo one! The amount of reviews I said I would do for him is crazy to be honest but as were good friends I'm doing it. Also he is an amazing game maker and you should try out all his games as they are superb! Well you would obviously know this is Filiptokic, he is just such a cool person to chat with. Me and him have had a lot of chats and in all I nearly laughed to death. He has had lots of amazing games using the platform creator with quite a few features, sadly he has not got any badges, as he is very mature. You should get to know him, he's a funny guy and all also he is quite popular on the MS and is nearly known for the whole forum.


Thumbnail

So again here is the problem with the thumbnail. Chuck Norris ruined it for like the 3rd time now, he never has a break from changing thumbnails to look like a Giraffe when he just ate a bagel. Now that is serious talk, also be careful, Chuck never battles he only just allows you to lose. So again practically a squiggly line, oh that gives me a dirty mind. But I will not say it, well as this 'squiggly' line goes down it gets more and more difficult to describe when all I can say is just "There was an enemy underneath an enemy underneath him". But...luckily there was some health so now I can change the sentence round a bit. :D Consequently it's not going to be as good. D: You can see a lot of puzzles just through the first level which a stunner, as there are over two levels, also you can just see some enemies and as the picture was taken from a long way out you can only see a glimpse of health. But other than that I just find the thumbnail just plain, it would be helpful if I could see a picture of the second level or the third, as I guess they would have more talent that the first, if you got offended by that no offence was meant.


Review

Now here is the review, so when I got straight onto the second level and nearly died, what a shame so getting this out of the way first I quite enjoyed it, wasn't the best game he has made but wasn't the worst but I can see some room for improvement in this and for starters I would of made the game a bit more of a thriller for the viewers but I guess it was a great game to some and a better game then I could ever make. So happily the game had 0% lag, which in this case is a good thing. Well normally you would get a bit more health which kinda put me off the game a bit. Not to worry as it wasn't much, so normally this game was a tricky one with all the puzzles and all the enemies getting in the way of you but that I think that what makes a good game. Well it does in my opinion and my opinions were high and low about this game and some parts I just got so let down with and some that amazed me, but overall the amazed won. Lol a bit like Modern Warfare 3. And only by 1 point and you could see that noob in the kill-cam shooting at a wall, lol. The first level is a bit like a hoola-hoop, round and symmetrical. I would say that it was made pretty well and great creativity. So here have a shiny sticker! *Gives sticker* :3


Ah, now on to the puzzles and traps which Filip is best at, sadly there wasn't as much puzzles, but the puzzles he had created were creative, he made a few puzzles that were used in Youngcaliman's epic Black Widow map, which surprised Sploder with the skilfulness and I think Filip is remodelling to make games like Caliman's. Wait was that a new nickname? Well getting back on topic some puzzles were easy which is quite annoying and you know how I react when it comes to easy puzzles. >:( Well this day gets better and better which more traps were involved, I guess for others they were pretty good. Unluckily the puzzles were not original but one of my favourites and lots of people struggle to find out what your objective is to do. Although he had copied many puzzles he made small little puzzles of his own. Not the hardest and not the easiest but just right, so just like the goldilocks story.


So now I am bringing back the good ol' fashioned scenery which is my favourite section so far. Ideally has great scenery, he has added many things that I like, which is a good background, plants, bones and great wall designs and to be honest I am pretty strict when it comes to the scenery, I will get a cane and whip you. Sounds terrible doesn't it?! Well it should and surprisingly people not normally have different wallpaper to the block design which I guess gives a bit more of an effect to it. Both of the blocks used, surprisingly I have never seen them when I have seen most blocks in the game, but it's always good to find something new.


Now getting to the enemy placement which I sometimes enjoy can nearly always is vary. I guess there are all types of enemies used in this like the Snarleys, ninja boys, minions, and many more. The enemies can affect a lot on games, because of the difficulty, if the difficulty's too hard then it will have a grey day of people liking it, but in Ideally some of the enemies made me think that I would lose the first level but I can beat the first level luckily, there was a fair amount of enemies and also were placed in spacey places so the game is a lot neater than if it was in a bundle.


Ratings


Challenge: ____/_____
 

The reason why I rated it for and not 5 is because someone has obviously completed it.


Enemies: ____/_____
 

They weren't the best but they were good.


Enemy Placement: ____/_____
 

Great positioning and everything.


P&T: ___/_____
 

If there was more original puzzles then it would be a bit higher.


Scenery: _____/_____
 

Jackpot! Yes I just loved the scenery and everything.


Overall: ____/_____
 

Great score!


Feature Worthy?

Well this depends, I guess people would say yes as this game has actually already been featured. I would say yes too but a few things could be improved on and some parts were excellent, I guess more people loved it then hated it but some people still couldn't get past the first level and started hatin' the game...got to get used to the puzzles, eh?


This has been a solo review and I don't mind any feedback to help me out and I hope you enjoyed the review~ ~Love Senbaki
