Grapnel Review
By JishHD on

Pros: Great gameplay and options. Addictive. I just couldn't stop!
Cons: Needs more variety in baddies. Takes WAY too long to collect coins. Needs more sounds like background music.
Wonderfully Addictive
I think you've done a great job on this game, but it does have some *minor* flaws. It is extremely addicting (I just played for over an hour and had to force myself to stop :-P). I love the simple interface and funny sounds. The "whoosh" of speed really gives it an overall great effect. The unlockables were also a nice addition, but I didn't like the fact that some unlockables restricted you from getting a high score. A specific example of this was that I bought the "Double Coins" unlockable, and played for a nice long time while collecting lots of coins. Then I went back to check the store and NONE of the extra coins I got counted! Things like "Double Coins" seem to be completely pointless additions, as you can't get any more coins or highscores with them activated. It also takes way too long to collect enough coins to buy things. After about 5 runs I made about 10 coins on average. That means I'd have to go through 25 runs to get 100 coins and buy a decent unlockable like the "Background Changer" (but I think this adds to it's replayability because it will take long amounts of time to get every unlockable). I also yearned for a better variety of obstacles. Just seeing mine after mine after mine after mine....you get the point. It gets a little boring after a while. Moving enemies and maybe even some enemies that shoot at you or something would really spice things up! Well, these are just my suggestions and thoughts. I personally can't wait for Grapnel 2!

It is a great game but I don't get why people think it is so ground breaking.

I'm so glad that everyone agrees! ArchMageOmega, take our advice for future updates of Grapnel or Grapnel 2! It's an awesome game, and just working out the kinks in it will make it perfect!
