Rising Phoenix II

(Cont.2)I am going to finish this with the following: I noticed that you guys are working hard on your games, and you are still active in your facebook page (even if under a different name). My suggestion is: Keep polishing your game-developing skills. The game's backgrounds for example are generally good (some like the city one are simply cool), but most are still below professional quality. The story, characters, the backgrounds... They all scream of something *potentially* awesome. But at the same time, this potential is never realized. Check some of the greatest platformers and see what ideas you can borrow (even just looking at Mario, something can be gained from it). For the story, work in cutscenes - it will fit best with what you are trying to do here and it will help keep things fluid. And well, that should be all. Take care Blue Cosmic Games, and good luck in your future games!

(Cont.1)At the end George's friend(?) falls back to the darkness, yet again it feels as if nothing has been truly lost and nothing has been gained either. Cornaria has been restored... Yet not once I catch a glimpse of what that/where it is. Presumably the characters' homeworld but... Again, it feels as if I only saved the void. Now on to more positive aspects: I like the character designs, but they need to be more fluid. What I mean is, if George is jumping/running/falling his arms should not stick as if glued to his side. It makes him seem more like a robot than a human otherwise. Also, I noticed that when he is falling an expression of worry appears in his face, but it is not enough to compensate for his stiff/glued arms.

I have not played the other Rising Phoenix games, so I will just be frank with this one. I will also add that this will be quite long and split between different comments (due to the annoying character limit). First of all: It does not feel "complete" as a game. There are no obstacles beyond when/how to jump, and there are no enemies. Granted, the Phoenix is a solitary creature and you managed to recreate that feeling perfectly. But, it is not what you seem to be aiming for here which brings me to my next point: The story. There is a story which is easy to grasp and would work with a platfomer, but the problem is that here it is not fluid. You are given some (rather vague at first, if I may add) fortune-cookie-sized phrases that are meant to convey the story - and although they do so just fine, everything feels... Disconnected.
