Hello everyone, and thanks for tuning in. Today I am announcing an idea that i had for a while that I finally decided to go through with. From now on, I’ll be reviewing and rating new MakeCode arcade games posted to the forum. This will be done using a schematic ready for posting where I’ll simply tweak it to make it suit for the game in question. (You might have noticed I have already done this with some games on the forum) This will be done with the goal of providing other community members with an easy to read through and digest, laid out description and review of the game, as well as my opinions and experiences with the games. I belive this will make it easier to conclude whether a game is worth while playing for the reader, and will provide plenty of constructive criticism for the creator in many aspects. If you have any questions, concerns or suggestions, leave them down below. I will also be taking requests, if you wish your game to be rated, please request it in the comments and leave a link to the forum thread with the game. The schematic will be listed below
sincerely, S0m3_random_guy

…
I though this lay out would be better
There are performance issues at the beginning of the Lost Woods when you try to leave it. Just try not to overlap with the block too many times. If you need me to draw a quick speedrunning map to run to the boss, I gotcha.

my only problem with the game is the going in places glitches alot which ruined a bit of my experience
If you fix it, nothing else to say
its amazing!
But please fix that glitch
Honestly the glitch at the lost woods is the only main glitch in the game. there’s another bug with the boss but it only happens if u fail to return his shots too many times
If you follow the map and stick to the correct path, you can make it out in perfect time. If I have time I will either try to record a video on how to bypass the glitch quickly or try to fix the glitch. The latter is probably most likely.
Amazing
