Tins 2006

Good: Something different.
Bad: You’ll probably want more of the same.
Forget TINS and make a real RPG!
Comments:
I’m glad someone made a RPG-feel game. It was a nice break and I agree, the exploration feature was extra nice. Unfortunately, there’s nothing to find, other than a little lake which serves no purpose. Again, start over, write a new plot and I think you can probably pull together a really neat game. I’ll be the first to play!

Overall: Sorry, the only fun thing was exploring. The battles were painfully lame. Maximum damage of 2!

Artistic: Not very impressive and what is good was ripped. Bam, 2!

Technical: Nah, I can’t give you more than a 2.

Genre: 2? Nah, 3 for being creative and doing time travel (or saying there was time travel).

Scores: Overall 2 Artistical 2 Technical 2 Genre 3

I didn't really understand what I was supposed to be doing in this game. Basically I walked around for a long time and fought different monsters while being randomly transported between time periods. That was pretty much all there was to do. I did like the time period idea, though. It just needs to be implemented a little better.

Well, this game is a bit different from most others. Whereas in most games you have limited time to complete an objective or something similar, this game uses the time requirenement in a different way. Here you travel in time! Unfortunately this idea is not terribly well implemented as you just get some text message saying you've been sent to the future and then back and the map changes to something that's not too different from the other time period. Still, this deserves an extra point in the genre category :)

Graphically the game is rather poor. Some sprites were harvested from various other games but the author really should have done a better job with the visual aspect of the game. Solid bright green for grass is especially annoying. Also there's no mention of trains in the game and although there are some railway tracks, they don't seem to serve a purpose.

Cute li'l fella who walks thru' the various levels, fighting nice li'l skellies, diablo-lookalkies, green dragons, a evil looking little thing, and things that look like what u get when you cross bugs bunnies and stroggs ... :)

I found it very amusing to walk through the whole level ... It has a mystic thrill to it :) Absolutely enjoyable!

This game is an RPG, where you control a guy called christopher.
The game seems incomplete, you have no objective. you can't enter the houses, talk to anybody...
When you go to a certain place, the map seems to change(apparently some time passed), and when you come back the houses are different.
there aro some enemies, and the graphics are ok.
but the game is kinda easy, because in any fight you can run, and christopher will always succesfully run! ;-).
It can be a good game completed, but not yet....

I think this game would be better if: it had some more interaction. The collision detection could be better. and please put your game some music!!!

Scores: Overall 2 Artistical 2 Technical 2 Genre 2
