Obulis review

[dgmulf]

WOW. Played through about half of Chapter 1 this evening. This game is just way more fun than I expected it to be. One of the few rare games that actually really challenges your intellect and critical thinking skills, as well as involving timing action. I'm going to be really sad when I beat the game. =( LOL.

As I've been playing throughout the various puzzles, a majority of them seem to have a problem... in that if you "fiddle around" enough, you can find the path very quickly.

[dgmulf]

@LLLookAtYouHacker yeah, but you're not supposed to fiddle. you're supposed to think!

[LLLookAtYouHacker]

@dgmulf

I guess.

[LLLookAtYouHacker]

You convinced me to buy it :)

[TheDelta0214]

God damn! That is some hard s**** there!

[fpstomclancy]

good to see you reviewing again

[mpflaging1]

Wow, I thought I was the only person who liked this game! What's really neat is that it feels tense, even though generally things are moving fairly slowly.

[Koopsas]

Lol, i have alot more respect for this game, due to its blataint ico reference :3

[animaegray]

Best puzzle game of this sort since TIM2, imo.

[manyhappyreruns]

Reminds me of Cut the Rope.

[sheepthehack]

@manyhappyreruns yup.. exactly the same game.. just CTR is cutiefied

[gouldbourn1]

`volume was ok for me, please continue making videos, even if you havent found a fix to the hum. its been sooooo long :P

[TheLordKorax]

I quite enjoyed this game when I bought it earlier last year. I'm also one of those 8% of players that have completed the entire thing.

[MagicAccent]

hahah, I remember seeing this game mentioned on some Indie site few years ago.

Thought it looked great went on youtube to see it in action, and I remember thinking that the music was really reminiscent of the Heroes 3 soundtrack.

I became so obsessed with finding my Heroes 3 disk that I completely forgot about Obulis, until now.

Thank you for reminding me, lol

Now that I've had a couple of years to think about it, and watched this review, it's definitely a buy :P

[LiamNeesonsDick]

I find it strange that people are complaining about the audio in general.

Everything came through just fine 'ere.

[Danny77uk]

Good review although very quiet! Please turn up the volume

[EpicnessInABox]

If you are unsure about the game, try the flash spinoff civiballs. It's basically the same thing with roughly 60 or so levels counting the whole series. Personally, I did not like civiballs, so I'm gonna pass. I have to agree with him though that it is annoying to get one precision shot right, and then fail another, forcing you to restart.

[GammaGoblinX]

Looks like a lot of fun. achievements seem to lend themselves a little better toward puzzle type games.

[GigaBoost]

I bought the game a while back through some pack, and I liked it, but I think that the game is a bit.... Shallow?

I liked it, but It's a bit -too- simple at times. Also, it lacks important features for me such as the option to change volume levels and fullscreen/windowed mode.

[theaznfishy]

can barely hear your voice or the audio in general.

[MegatronYES]

curiously fun to just watch the BAWLS bounce around

[MaurogDark]

Wanted to tell you this before, can you somehow increase the audio volume of your videos in general? It's getting ridiculous, I need to crank up both the YouTube volume and the headphones volume to the max, to hear you just below desired volume...

Please make them louder!

[antisocialfatman]

@MaurogDark I don't know what to tell you; I have my speaker volume on 1/4 and that's loud.

I will look into it but I doubt i can make them any louder.

[MaurogDark]

@antisocialfatman It's about the loudness of the video compared to everything else on YouTube. If you listen to this review and then to v=KxTxn0uU3VQ (a random video on the right by some guy), you should see what I mean.

For maximal point across getting, run both videos simultaneously.

[LyRaLex]

@MaurogDark

wtf, it's loud enough (even on half volume) ... fix your stuff

[dammilo]

@MaurogDark yeah i second that, great videos but if you could crank up your voice volume it would be awesome.... it blends a little too much with the background game music (maybe i notice that because english is not my native language)

[LiamNeesonsDick]

Great review, though I felt the games audio was a little louder than your voice, just a heads up.

[antisocialfatman]

@LiamNeesonsDick Yeah, I had to do that because there's so much background hum. I just can't get rid of it with this crappy integrated soundcard.

[wtfpantera]

@antisocialfatman did you try Audacity and it's noise removal tool?

[antisocialfatman]

@wtfpantera yes.

[PApaSmurfCDMCMD2]

thanks Fatman, i asked you about this and you've convinced me... thanks again

[FalloutNVand3Rock]

ahh so this is what u werent tellingh me earlier
