Fairyland Story-Beautiful arcade adventure(Looking for Beta tester and feedback :)

this looks really good. im a huge fan of storybook or unusual graphics. my only issue i think would be the "ghost" character. One, because i would like a fleshed out character and not a ghost, and mechanically im nit sure if you can keep your attention on white with all the background colors. the character should stand out more from the background i think, not the other way around.

 

honestly, i think white and ghost are similar in that its difficult to keep track of, especially in a runner like this. But see if you can get more feedback, maybe i am in the minority

 

It's a beautiful looking game and haunting soundtrack, really like the trailer.
Can I ask whether there are any bosses/special challenges to overcome at end of levels?
Also, what is the replay value like? Does anything change on a second run?
Best of luck.

 

It's really a beautiful game and great music, is easy to get caught up with everything moving around you and dies quickly but is a fun ride for sure

 

Currently testing it and it's amazing such a creative gem !

 

thanks for letting me test this. first at the beginning one line of dialogue is still in chinese. but other then that the graphics are super beautiful and amazing. music is pretty nice too and gameplay is kinda like an endless runner collecting stars and avoiding obstacles. probably one of the prettiest game i have seen definitely gonna get it again when the app is fully released

 

Me too I would recommend this for all family adult and children will totally have fun playing this

 

Hello.
Thank you for the oppurtunity to beta test.

The graphics are beautiful and so is the soundtrack.
Although; i do believe that it (the soundtrack) may be a little too sad at times. I am mentioning this because you (developer) asked about this previously herein the forum.
I think that if a player is trying to 'beat' the game that it may be a bit too melancholy or deperessing. If 'Zen' and casual, then; I think it would be perfect. There's just something about background music that helps set the mood for a player regarding how much they get into the game or keep coming back to 'win.' I still think it is absolutely beautiful though! I make this comment based on psychology and human nature

I am playing on an iPad Air. I found that the character did not follow my finger very well. In the tutorial, I felt it was better. As I was moving my finger slowly along the stars, the character was still way behind. I will keep trying to make sure it is not just me.

On the bottom of the screen are the links or tabs for various things. I noticed that the arrow goes to upgrades and other various items. Maybe the arrow should be changed to something else that better reflects that? Just a thought.

I love the idea of being able to earn characters and upgrades. Definitely put an emphasis on that to encourage players to pay for an iap or to watch ads to help you monetarily. Unless you decide to make it a paid game.

I noticed sometimes there are more then 1 row of stars and that one of the stars is differently colored a bit for a better score. (I think) I like that.

I plan on trying the game with a stylus later to test the response. Many players with an ipod/iPhone have fat fingers. Kidding!!! LOL!!! Actually, sometimes it is hard to play on a smaller screen when you need to move a finger around a smaller screen.

Well... that's it for now.

Cute game!!!!

 

#1. And #3.
"Less bad" and "more good" borders on redundancy in grammar usage. This is very minor because players will still understand what it means. It all depends on how correct or professional you want it to be. It also depends on the players word usage. On a psychological standpoint, as descriptive words; "Good" and "Bad" are more child like or simplistic in nature. If the game is geared towards children, it works well. If the game is also geared towards adults, then maybe not. An appropriate substitute would be less 'unfavorable' (bad) and more 'favorable' (good).
Again.... this is a very minor point. Players will not complain about it because it is still understandable either way. I am only pointing it out as a beta tester to give you a choice.

#2.
I do not know how this is in other countries so it may not matter. I am in the US.
When circle with a line through it is drawn or placed over something it normally means 'bad' 'wrong' 'stop' 'no'.... etc...You are using it the right way. In the US the line should be diagonal, (Like I drew it) instead of a line that is across. Also minor.

#4.
The symbol is of tools. Usually that means repair or issues. Maybe it would be better to have a pic that represents upgrades, change of characters, etc... Maybe the bunny ears symbol you have for the character selection? Add something to it like a star or lines that make it look highlighted? I don't know. Just a thought.





#5.
I realized when 1st starting the game, not all the tabs are available. I would like it much better to be able to look at the upgrade section before starting the game so I can have more choices before the 1st play.





EDIT: regarding #4 - the tools tab:
Some examples I made. I did it on my iPad, not the computer, so they are not that fantastic. Just examples or ideas:





That's it.
If I am going too in depth, let me know and I'l back off a bit.
It is a very lovely game so far!!!

 

This looks absolutely stunning.
Would love to give this game a test drive!
