Excellent game man.

There were so many points where I thought it was impossible but with a bit of tweaking it all fell into place.

Really well done. Reminded me of pipedream a little bit. ^_^

Score: 7

"Nice but too easy and too slow paced."

The difficulty curve is too gentle. You play like 15 levels before theres even any remote need for skill and even then its fairly simple. You're too generous to the player but with a bit of tweaking I think this could be a really good game.

Score: 6

"Bit of a disappointment but good work."

submission: Donkey Kong RPG

date: September 8, 2008

When I saw RPG I went into nerd mode and devoted a bit of time to this. Not gonna do a full review but:

Good
- Nice idea first of all.
- You can tell you put a fair bit of time into this.
- Everything you intended to work works without problem.

Bad
- Seems very unpolished. No death noises. No combat noises. No effort put into the interfaces. This was my biggest problem.
- The whole battle system seemed a bit amateur. It was a matter of standing next to an enemy and holding ctrl until you develop better methods then you would stand somewhere and hold that button. Not particularly engaging although Im sure some younger players will find it apt.
- The characters. It seems you've not played the original donkey kong games. The persona of the characters are a bit random, an example that stuck in my mind was Diddy calling donkey "old boy" lol. Made me chuckle.

A great attempt at a lofty goal. If this was your first serious shot at this type of game then its awesome. In future I would reccommend your major focus be on graphics and battle. Maybe turn based encounters would work best.
