TIGdb: Entry for Auditorium
Gee whizz the original web version is pretty tough. Not sure if I’d pay for a full version.
God, I want this game quite badly. However, until they release a downloadable version, it’s a no-go for me. The internet here at the campus can get really slow sometimes, and not to be a bigot, but, it’s rather annoying to have to wait a good 5 minutes to play a level.
I decided to play the free portion again, but noticed some problems I don’t remember having before.
It seems like they made the “win” detection stricter. On 3:5 I had all of the containers visibly full, but it took minutes of fiddling around to make the game admit that they were good enough.
Also, two of the blue containers on the same level didn’t make any noise when I ran particles through them.
I do think there are some bugs this time around that will hopefully get fixed soon. Like you mentioned Chris, sometimes you don’t win even if everything is full… I’ve had to restart a level after finding the solution to get the ‘win’ effect.
Beautiful game though, the later levels are much harder and satisfying :)
Oh, it’s definitely beautiful. Both the visuals and the sounds/music are great. I didn’t mention that because it hasn’t changed since the first time I played the game. The problems were new.
I might buy it eventually, but not at the moment. Too many other games being considered for purchase. There are also a lot of free Flash games (of wildly varying quality). I’m not sure I want to pay for an on-line only game with the limitations of Flash.
Yeah. I would consider this game for that price if it was on my computer. Not a big fan of paying for an online browser flash game.
I don’t mind it being online only so much - no install, all my progress is stored on their server, and I can access it anywhere. The one thing I really don’t like is if their website goes down for any reason, I’m out $11. To be honest though, I think I’ll be able to get $11 of fun out of it in the next few days so the point is moot.
