[Audyssey] awesome Homer thoughts and suggestions

2011-07-20 Thread Karl Belanger
Hi all,

I've been playing Awesome Homer and have some thoughts and suggestions. 

First, Please add a way to skip the level intros when restarting a level. I
would also like to see the results of the current level read out when you
die, rather than the whole log file. Third, a learn game sounds would
certainly help on some levels, though it is not exactly necessary.

I have some thoughts about specific levels, so if you haven't made it at
least to level 7 I suggest you stop reading.

In level 1, I don't really have many suggestions. The level plays well and
the sounds are basically self-explanatory.

For level 2, it wasn't immediately clear until I died a couple times that
you need to line up the sound of both planes in the stereo field, rather
than centering the new one.

Level 3 took some getting used to how fast you turn, but once I got it it
was fine.

On level 4, your speed starts off extremely slow and increases slowly. You
might consider a faster starting speed and less finite speed increases.

No complaints about level 5.

For level 6, there needs to be some better explanation. Sometimes, when I'd
turn towards wind, I'd die without being able to do anything. Others, I'd
enter a new area where the music changed. It boiled down to trial and error
for me until I eventually got it.

As for level 7, I still haven't beaten it. When I accelerate, I hear two
cars, and try to get next to one of them, and I'd either get a crash with a
monkey screech when I ran into a car, or a monkey call when I passed one of
them. After that, I was never able to find the two cars again. Could someone
who has beaten the game please give me some hints on level 7?

Hi Karl,

Thank you very much for your comments and suggestions.  I will work on adding 
better instructions etc.

Spoiler space.








Yes Karl you are jumping from airplane to airplane so you need to wait until 
they are in line with each other.

Level 6 is just a very simple maze with some pit falls without warning.  So 
yes, it is just trial and error.

In level 7, you want to just keep driving.  The first two cars just randomly 
get in your way.  There are 3 more cars that you need to pass before you get to 
the car with Gonk and Marge.

HTH

And thank you again very much for your thoughts and suggestions.

Two more questions, how does the scoring work on level 4 as my score is
always low, and how do you avoid the bananas reliably that are thrown by the
last two cars in level 6?

Hi Karl,

On level 4 you get eleven thousand points for each tree that you made it passed 
minus points for how long it took you.  So the faster you go and the less that 
you turn is how the score is figured.

I tried to make the goal about 250,000 points per level until the seventh level 
which the goal is 500,000 points.

For the bananas I do just like for the oil and that is to stay to one side and 
then as soon as I hear the oil or the chimpanzee I mash the arrow to turn 
towards the other side.
