Castle Pals 9+

Great game.

This is a great game! I really love how challenging it is. It is beautifully designed, with few glitches. These glitches include the controls being off at some times, and then sometimes while I’m playing as the girl and I punch an enemy, it doesn’t work. These only occasionally cause problems, but other than that it’s a fantastic game. The poor reviews seem to be given by people who are not skilled enough to play the game, so I would not worry too much about them. Great job!

Surprisingly challenging

I figured that this game would be extremely easy. The art style immediately made me think that this would be a more laid back platformer. I definitely wasn’t expecting this. This game is not unfair, and it is a far cry from the types of games that are notoriously difficult, so don’t expect something crazy out of this, but do expect something where you will die a few times per level. The only problem I have is that when you get a checkpoint and die, the gold medal timer goes to 0 seconds and doesn’t change. For some reason this doesn’t allow you to get a gold medal on the level, forcing you to do it all in one go. It is a minor glitch though, and I do enjoy the game otherwise.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for playing! The gold timer thing isn’t a glitch though. The times were meant to be beaten from then beginning of a level until the end. It wouldn’t be fair if someone starts from halfway through. :)

A great game with one major flaw

This is a fantastic game, and it’s well worth the $1.99 to disable ads, but the controls for one of the characters are absolutely dismal. It wasn’t too much of an issue until quite a ways into the game, but the flying function is awful. Rather than holding it down to fly, you have to rapidly press the button to stay afloat, and there are times when you ascend really sluggishly, or it just plain fails and you drop like a stone, often to your death. And since there’s audio feedback in the form of a propeller sound whenever you press it, I know it’s not just a matter of me missing the button. Like I said, this game is great up to a point, but there’s a level in the third act that has such little margin for error that this design flaw completely spoils all of the fun.
