Halfasack Reviews Brnxblze's - Housework 8/10

Archive: 10 posts


Time to take a create break INC review on Housework. Will be edited into this post.

Section 1
First things first I noticed this little section on the left. I collected some well placed score bubbles and found my way up the steps to the "neighbors house". Nice touch! Loved the conversation...

Very nice details on the trucks. Very detailed house! I almost killed myself on the candle! I loved swinging from the light, nice platforming. I like the music change in the bedroom to reflect the radio being on I'm having alot of difficulty in the bedroom trying to figure out what to do. Aha, I get it now. I cannot begin to overstate my satisfaction in the attention to detail here!

Section 1 : Graphics 10/10 I loved the attention to detail!
Difficulty 8/10 It was difficult, and sometimes was wondering what to do, despite the text bubble pointing me.
Fun 7/10 It was pretty fun.
Overall : 8/10 for section 1. A little more explain instead of a point, perhaps list the chores on the fridge?

Section 2

Ah a picture in the bedroom detailing what to do is just what the doctor ordered! Again more kudos on the detailing! The car part seemed kind of short/lacking. Whats with the random dropping blocks in the grocery store? I noticed they usually drop when i grab the cart. BTW i made a HUUUGE mess of your grocery store hehe

Major major flaw.... I didn't grab the catchup or the cereal and i did the freezer part and the ice block that comes down to make a ramp blocked my catchup/cereal when i went to drag it back, and i had to restart the level

I like going back to the house after the store. Very well done.

Graphics : 9/10 over all, the car part seemed kind of lacking. The grocery store and freezer especially rocked my socks. But again your attention to detail was over the top otherwise.
Difficulty : 7/10 the grocery store platforming was mildly challenging.
Fun : 8/10 : I got kind of annoyed with the grocery store mobile stairs and there were some awkward ledges in the freezer part that made it kind of hard to push the food. Also the flaw as noted above.
Overall : 7/10

Section 3


Wasn't Much a section but the end room was very detailed, again (feelin like a broken record here ) over the top attention to detail.

I rated it 5 stars, and tagged it beautiful, compared to other levels it is definitly a 5 star. But for the sake of LBPC it ranks as follows :

Graphics Overall : 10/10. I'm rehashing the excellent over the top attention to detail.
Difficulty Overall : 7/10 Some good platforming challenges, just needs some more direction in a few spots.
Fun Overall : 8/10 I had good fun and loved the concept, it was well done.

Overall : 8/10. A lil fixing up and this could be 10/10 easy!

I ran into that level breaker in the grocery store part too. Really killed all the momentum the level had built up nicely.

(just felt the need to post to make this an officially all Wisconsin thread so far!)

Sorry to break up the WI combo you had going Morgana but I'm definitely going to try to fix that up. I Just have to think of a way to do it without introducing another glitch into the level. I was thinking to make it so that triangle that comes down when you put the cart into place goes back up when you get the cart out of the way and make a mouth tell the player that you could do that. I think that might fix the problem and is also very easy to implement.2009-05-18 23:34:00

no worries about breaking the WI thing - I'm just being silly again.

Glad you're taking another look at it. It really was the only problem I had in the level but it's such a big thing. Post when you've got it worked out.

Posted this in the other review for my level so I'll just copy it here.

Okay, made some changes:

I made the ice triangle that's in the freezer go up and down when the cart is not in place just in case you forget some food.
I changed the stairs to something better (I hope it's better). You only have to use it for the second item. For the first item I made it so you have to move some boxes and climb on top of a soda machine.

Those are the only things I got to change today. I'll try to change some more things tomorrow.

Hold up, I'll tell you when its fully done . I still have to make the supermarket part look better. I'll try to get some pics of what I've done so far.

Edit: Here are the pics!

Picture of the first item, you have to move the boxes so you can get on the soda machine. This is my attempt at making this part less repetitive.

Left switch opens the stairs, right switch moves them.
