Just another DDR clone.
Nothing interesting, it's been done before many times. To improve, do something original.
Reviews for "The Pick of Destiny"
LilDwarf responds:
It worked, didn't it? :)
I'm sorry, but it's not very good.
Overall: 4
This just isn't a very good game. The main reason being that it's been done millions of times. Also, it didn't look like you put very much effort into it. You said something about dancing to the beat of rock but... There was no dancing at all. In the screen where you actually played it was just the arrows floating up and the pick you were getting... Nothing much really. This game was kinda boring.
Graphics: 6
They were okay graphics, but you definatly could've made some things look a lot nicer.
Style: 3
Like I said, this game has been done tons of times. I give you a three because you put a storyline into it.
Sound: 8
You did choose songs I liked.
Violence: 0
Well I didn't see any violence.
Interactivity: 10
Well it IS a game...
Humor: 0
I didn't really see anything funny.
~Some pointers~
In the screen where the arrows were floating up you could put some flashy stuff in. Make the text that tells you what kind of arrow you hit (Perfect, Great, etc.) more noticeable. A flashy and fun to look at playing screen would've gotten you a higher score.
LilDwarf responds:
The dance this is a saying man. You're just being a smartass and taking it literally right?
Apart from that, this is the first good critical review. I couldn't make any fancy animations or flashy stuff in game because it would lag the thing alot, and noone likes that.
Try Again
First off the gameplay style is unoriginal, second, the combo system is so picky that even if you are off by a 10th of a second it will say you are to late, and for that i give you a 4.
LilDwarf responds:
Ok.
Its hard!
This game is WAY to hard I got to the pick with the angry face saw all the notes and said fuck this shit. The picks do have a diffaculty yes, but the game itself should also have one... I am afriad this game was to challengeing to enjoy....
1 star for originality and1 for awesome songs. it would have scored higher except for the fact that the damn arrows can only be hit if the music is on medium or hard. if it's not, then the arrows are opposite of ddr in which it would count as a hit and not a miss if they were in the trajectory of the arrow.
