Dominos Review
By ~BlaXun~ on

Pros: -Makes nice use of the Physics dll -Simple and unique graphics, they really fit! -An in-game tutorial
Cons: -No Custom Loading bar yet -No sounds or music yet (ok, one sound now ;) -Controlls are very tricky -Some awfully hard passages
Nice game with some tricky controls!
When I first started the game and saw the "GM-Standard" loading bar I was kinda dissapointed.
But after this I changed my view quickly.
A nice title screen awaits you followed by an starting menu and after that a huge(!!!) map selection.
Of course I started with the first map which introduces you to the games system.
Basicly you use the left and right buttons to move, the up button to jump (hold it longer to make higher jumps) and the Z button to increase speed for the direction.
Sounds like basic gameplay, doesnt it?
However, this game makes use of very nice Physics.
You smash things that are in your way, you slide on dominos and do other entertaining things.
however, the mentioned physics system is also one of the games hard parts.
The controls for example get really tricky sometimes, and riding on a domino isnt easy either.
When I enetred the 2nd Cave Stage and had to write a long domino session I lost my nerves after 20 trys.
I then got back to the map selection and selected one of the later levels.
Suprisingly enough the shape of your ball changes...well, another nice thing, you dont just play as a ball, you also get to play a monster truck.
Nice!
I really miss more sound effects and music here.
I could really love this game later on.
I recommend it to everybody who wont freak out on hard gameplay ;)
nice game, marbs!

Yeah, I really do need to change the loading bar. Quite often a games quality can be judged by the loading sequence (although this is by no means always true =D )
