Hey there! How is everyone today I hope you�re all doing amazing! Today I�m starting my first review on the main site. After a year of waiting I have finally got my reviewer badge. I apologize if I�m a little rusty I haven�t written a review since last year (my application.) You may need a glass of water just in case the review becomes really dry. Today I�m writing a review on Lavalinn�s great game �Physics Journey.�

The game in a nutshell is basically, you play as a little block that just completes platform levels. Its concept was fairly straightforward. The first few levels were fairly easy, pushing into further levels the difficulty slowly intensified. The first level you were in a sort of temple area, your objective was to just get to the ending (a door) pretty simple�right? It took me a good amount of attempts just to get to the end. There were spikes to avoid, enemy blocks, bombs and let�s not forget the �shooting carrots� I wasn�t sure what they were so I just called them shooting carrots, I hope lavalinn doesn�t mind. Once you knew what you were doing you could whizz through the level. I don�t think lavalinn should�ve used the door in most levels maybe he could�ve spiced it up a bit. I have to say the second level must�ve been my favourite, it was based on Mario. In the level you had a small screen to play on, well, that�s how I would describe it, were every time you went down a pipe you would move to another �sublevel.� It was entertaining; the only con would be that there was a timer. If there is one thing I hate about games it would have to be a timer. The game�s scenery in some levels lacked amazement, level 2 could�ve been a little more thought out scenery wise. The game�s concept wasn�t at all special; it was just a simple platformer. But you got to hand it to him, he did spend considerable amount of time on it. Playing the game I found two cons, one was that the game lacked a storyline; I had no idea why I was going on a journey. The other was more game changing, the game was really slow, and that could be because of my laptop though. In my opinion lavalinn has quite the potential in ppg creation; I mean he does have two features, so my advice would be keep up the hard work.

Let�s talk placement; I don�t really feel that lavalinn needed to worry too much about placement. You could see that his ppg skills were fairly high, so most players would be easily distracted by that. The placement was adequate though, he really thought it out in most levels. In my opinion placement and scenery isn�t always the most important addition to games. I think the game�s storyline/objective matters most so I don�t seem to touch on placement that much; this is why this paragraph is so short.

Now for the scores:

Pros;

Fun

Challenging

Addictive

Cons;

Lacking Amazement

Not very unique

Lacking storyline

In conclusion this game was really enjoyable. On a whole lavalinn shows great potential in game creation. I do take an interest in platform type games. Feature worthy? No, because if this game was featured I could think of many more that could follow it. It really wasn�t that original. The game also didn�t amaze me and that�s usually something an editor looks for. I hope this conclusion doesn�t seem too negative, thank you for taking your time to read my review. I know it�s quite bad, it is my first review though.
