Edition #7
Welcome to the first ROBLOX Review of the year!
Lets crack straight on with the reviews!
Idea: 10/10
The idea for this game is very original. You mine dirt and eventually find minerals. You can then go and sell these for various upgrades within the game.
Gameplay: 8/10
The gameplay here is very fun and addicting. You will find yourself trying to dig to the bottom of the world, or try and get the maximum amount of minerals. You will probably find yourself trying to get that next upgrade and before you know it; hours have passed.
This game has excellent scripting. It has data persistence so you can save your data, a welcome screen with music and in general, this game has alot of great scripting which works perfectly! When you mine a block, blocks around you are created, so the game is near infinite! (And doesn't lag!)
Environment: 7/10
The enviroment above the mine isn't very large. But hey; its not meant to be.
The core of this game is in the mine, so most of the detail is down there. But even then, its just dirt and the occasional colourful mineral. I really do think I am expecting too much. This game is very nice, but a bit more enviroment would not go amiss.
Enjoyment: 8/10
This game is very enjoyable and addictive. The scripting definately helps make you want to stay, as it works perfectly and adds some create functionality to the game. The game in general is fantastic and is well worth a play!
Idea: 8/10
Okay; its an obby. However, this obby is different. Its based off that TV Show Wipeout. Or if you live in Britain; Total Wipeout. This game is a nicely executed idea, and even if you don't like obbies, maybe you should give this a try, especially if you like the show!
Gameplay: 6/10
Unfortunately, the game play is exactly what you would expect from an obby. The only difference is that this has obsticles from Wipeout. This sort of makes the game fun, but the gameplay isn't amazing.
Scripting: 7/10
Again, this is much like any other obby. There is minimal scripting. There are checkpoints that save your position without putting you into teams. It seems that alot of this game is based of ROBLOX physics, which is okay but more scripting would be nice. There are some traps where balls come down and try and knock you off, and some conveyer belts but it still seems minimalistic.
Environment: 7/10
The environment is very large, but not very varied. It sort of lives up to the show because there is water underneath you. The environment is mainly composed of some hills and then the obby. I gave it a 7 out of 10 because in an obby, enviroment is an added extra!
Enjoyment: 7/10
This game would be very enjoyable if you watched and liked the TV show. You'd feel as though you were playing it! I think that the enviroment gives it a nice touch and that it would be very enjoyable with friends too. Maybe if there was a timer!
