Makis Adventure

This game blew me and my friends away! For a solo dev project, it is REALLY well done! The gameplay is really smooth and very resembling of other games of it's type. I was able to see the heavy inspiration as noted in the credits. The transition from 2D to 3D and the art style had me captivated from the start!! This is a very unique idea and really well executed! Bravo Zoroarts. Now for the bad: Not sure if it was the game, or the fact that I had VSync on, but when on the rail carts, I would notice slight screen tearing as the background was trying to keep it. A vertical green line would sweep across the screen. I suggest a little more graphic optimization with the zoomed out camera angle. 2) When fighting the dragon boss underwater, I managed to get pushed through the wall and get stuck outside the arena. The only way I was able to correct it, was by being the hammerhead shark, hitting the boss as it came by, and then the boss trying to charge me and kill me. Again, for a solo dev, this game is really well done and I have already recommended it to a few friends! I will be replaying the boss rush mode in the near future!

Really fun little game. The overworld is really cool. The combat isn't the best but has its moments (the bosses all deal damage to you by touching you so sometimes the combat feels a bit BS, especially since a few of the bosses will abruptly teleport to middle of screen). Lots of cute little mini games and little side things that are fun. Some of the achievements appear to be bugged and some of them are just asinine. There's also a few things about the overall game design that are a bit questionable. For one, there is a Stamina meter but really for no purpose--like even if you spam the roll the whole game you almost never run out so it is is just serving no real purpose. The other is that throughout the game you unlock different shark forms which is kind of cool but moreso just kind of pointless? Like the shark forms are essentially 1. Fast movement and can eat enemies to heal. 2. Slower movement and can break certain rocks / objects. 3. Super fast movement but cannot hurt enemies. So why not just make 2 and 3 abilities that you use in the default form? Why not have a "hammerhead attacK" rather than a form or a different button to go super fast? It just feels silly to use the radial menu to change forms when they're all so similar. Anyway, all in all a competently made and fun little game! PS. There is a ??? menu item that I cannot select and am not sure how to get and under videos there are 4 ??? videos that I think don't exist? A bit odd
