Honestly, What The Hell Is A Stheno?

Fun fact: It means �Forceful� in Greek. It sounds all like Greek to me.

One of my favorite people on the forums is Blurry aka Hyperlink aka a bleep ton of alts. He�s creative and very witty on the forums. He�s also a dark horse in the game making realm. Not many know his making skills, but I do. This is the first game he�s kept for more than one day, so he has to have some pride for it. Let�s see if he should.

REVIEW:

From the very start, there is an adrenaline rush to live. It�s not too hard, nor too easy. And I like that. The action in this game was perfectly laid out for the player to experience. It was very consistent in its difficulty. It was a very short game too; a good game doesn�t have to be long. We have many cases where the game is very short and very fun; take Bobbler�s and JJS�s (In fact, this game was inspired off of JJS�s minute action games) for example. This was executed very well. To add to it all, it had a consistent design style. It had a crunchynut/mmfc reminiscence feel to it all.

However, I feel like there should be more to the game. There was plenty of health for me when I got to the end, so I had not many worries. Many of the obstacles that were supposed to be harmful were easily avoided; like you don�t have to break the blocks to get the crystal. I would suggest making a �shell� around the crystals you have to collect. Other than that, the game was satisfying for me.

CONCLUSION:

If you don�t like shooter games, I think would still be able to enjoy it. It had fun action to go through, and it was very short (if you don�t like long games). It was consistent in its design, action, enemy placement, and overall difficulty. However, some of the obstacles were easily avoidable. Personally, I think this a feature worthy game.

NOTE:

Right now, I am trying to help bring attention to potential game makers. If you think one of your games is worthy of a review, feel free to message me on my page. But please be patient for the reviews.

Also, I know many of you are wondering why I didn�t add a rating and such. The reason why I did this is because I believe that it�s kind of silly to rate games based on a number that you came up with. Words can describe better than numbers.
