Subject: Re: Using Quirky Features. UMM.
I like the look of Igor's new game - sometimes the combination of
colours look garish but overall I'm impressed. I also like his use of
the JSW engine and the inventiveness that's gone into it. I also like
the whole intro thing. But there's one thing I don't like, and it's
what stopped me playing (on the first proper game screen), it's the
reliance on 'quirky' features. I have the same complaint about most of
the new Willy games I've played - it shouldn't be necessary to know
how to jump through blocks etc. in order to play.
I'm not knocking the game, it has a great deal going for it, but it's
not accessible to the uninitiated.
Carl.
