This is a review for the level H.A.T.E. by the creator Voltiare.
Description:
Solve your way through 10 challenging puzzles to pass the Human Aplitude Test Experiment.
PROS:
Well first things first. This is from the same creator that made Temple of Sun and Moon which I gave a nine, so expectations were high. Needless to say he didn't dissapoint. The levels concept which is to figure out these test chambers is awesome. After completing each one I couldn't wait to see what the next one had in store. The chambers pretty much got better and better as you went alone. The whole idea with the computer introducing you to each chamber was well done as well, and sometimes amusing. The use of colors in the level, while simple, were very effective.
CONS:
The ending had me bummed as I was kinda hoping that it would be this epic battle or something. I don't want to spoil anything but yeah I wish there had been a bit more. Something a touch rewarding. Some of the puzzles at the beggining were kinda easy but really they are supposed to be so thats not really a con.
ADVICE:
Not sure if i said it in your last review but you should teach me.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
Highly enjoyed the level and its concept. So much so that I actually told a friend about it! Yes i know there is a prize bubble for acing it but sadly due to the length I will not be replaying. It does take quite some time to complete. Anyways that being said I still hearted and now I sit anxiously waiting for your next project!! Hurry!!!
Length: Long
Difficulty: Medium to kinda tricky
Replayability: Not much as it is long and there isn't much surprise a second go around.
Funness: A bunch. Loved the final chamber!
Score: 9/10

Review: Temple of Sun and Moon - Voltiare
This is a review for the level Temple of Sun and Moon by the creator Voltiare
Description:
Plunge into the Temple of Sun and Moon and gain the powers of the god.
PROS:
Excellent level design. The temple actually feels like its ancient. And most of the obstacles feel like they belong to the level. Best example: The electricity rocks. The spinning moons and stars section was done really well. The story had a nice flow and I love the alternate endings the player can choose. Really adds to the replayability.
CONS:
Well after the main puzzle (really the only puzzle) of gathering the sun and moon keys(?) there isn't really much after that. In other words, its too short. Now I am not saying it is short but I feel that it could be a little bit longer. And I don't mean the alternate endings I'm talking about the lead up till you choose. And to nit pick the flaming pillars (when you get the sun key) could have been better. Everything else was pretty much original or had a nice twist on something that was already created, but these were pretty basic. But like I said I'm just nit picking. Also didn't really care for the sticker switch. Would have rathered a key or something else.
SPOILERS!!!
Now I admit I only played it once (will play it again for the other ending) and i chose the dark ending. And i wish this was a little bit more chaotic. I would have liked to have seen more destruction and people dying and stuff so that I had a real impact as to what I did.
END OF SPOILERS!!!
ADVICE:
Not much but maybe some points before the story splits. Hmm nah that would just ruin the atmosphere of the level. Maybe lengthen the beginning of the level so it feels more rewarding once you have to choose between light and dark.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
Solid level in which I hearted! Can't wait to play it again for the other ending.
Length: Just under medium length. Would have preferred another 2-3 minutes of playing time.
Difficulty: Normal
Replayability: Some, there are alternate endings which will be interesting to explore both.
Funness: The story is faily good and the spinning moons can kinda be fun. The rest isn't boring but I wasn't giggling like a school girl for the whole thing.
Score: 9/10
