Key's Curse [Puzzle] - Looking for Testers
« on: October 06, 2010, 18:55:12 »
I'm looking for testers. "Key's Curse" is my first game so I went for something small - only 4 main screens.

The core idea is that everything is either a lock or a key (or a giant black urchin waiting to kill you). So you need to choose keys in the correct order to open the mega-lock.

Since it's my first game, I'm not sure how to classify it (hardness/action/puzzle/whatever).
I'm also looking for advice about playability, music, cutscenes, etc.

I'm hoping to post this game soon. Just looking for a few testers. Anyone interested? 

UPDATE: It's done! Things were starting to spiral out of control...I started with 4 screens and ended up with three difficulty levels spanning 57 screens. Now I understand why people have 400+ screens...

Thanks to ultigonio and green.cookie with their wallswim advice and other ideas.

Anyway, here she is. Just copy the url into your browser address bar. It should work...

Ha-ha, yes, there was plenty of actual testing.  Wallswim help was one of the bigger things.

I only played the easy, but I thought this was really fun.  I just didn't have the patience for the others.  :D

Haha - ya, I have a hard time judging difficulty. I'm good at puzzles and terrible at jumping challenges so you have to take my difficulty rating with a pinch of salt (and a shot to tequila).

I have a partially completed redo of this level with an easier easy and a harder hard. But I also want to make a traditional environmental level so I'll probably do that first.
