Raccoon: The Orc Invasion Reviews

Could be better, by that in particular I mean...there are a lot of bugs first hand . First, the first map I dropped down right when you start and I was able to be in a glitch and run through the whole map, happens if you go forward , drop down with out jumping I believe. When you jump on certain rocks to get to the other, the consistency is not there, there is way too many times it just doesn't jump when you are jumping...and there for you fall off, and sometimes you have to restart all over because of that (3 lives a level). The graphics are sweet, the game play felt nice, I like the characters and the enemies look cool. The coins (when you pick them up) sounded too generic and sounded like mario. The Orcs when you jump on them , even directly sometimes you get the kill and you still lose a life... nothing is wrong with the game that the devs can't fix real quick so I give it a thumbs up!

For a dev's first game, it's not bad. Not bad at all. I'm hoping their game that's planned for release later this year is more interesting. If you want to support an aspiring developer, go for it. That being said, it's a very cookie-cutter basic platformer. What you see in the trailer is mostly what you get. Nothing's inherently wrong with that, albeit a bit uninspired. To be more critical, the story is bland, the gameplay isn't much better, and the music selection isn't great. My main gripe with the game is that you can't jump on slopes. This has made me take damage on multiple occasions and just adds a bit of frustration to the casual playthough. I'm also not a fan of starting at the beginning of each level after taking damage. As a final note, I saw that the dev said there were puzzles and boss fights. If what they meant was just having a larger enemy than normal, then I guess that counts. Bosses are typically more advanced than normal enemies in some way. As for puzzles, the only thing that comes close to it is pushing a boulder into a portal, and I wouldn't even consider that one, either. What I guess I'm trying to say is I hope the dev tries to be a little more creative with the next project.
