I forced myself to play through this entire game, expecting some challenging puzzles, but there are few to be had. The majority of the challenge and frustration exists due to a fundamentally broken system. The developer’s lack of any replies on the forum just adds to the sense that this was a half attempt at a game that he himself did not think it was worthy of his time to bother playing it through before selling it.
Pros:
-Skip level feature.
-Working achievements.
-Handful of levels are nicely designed with a puzzle to solve.
Cons:
-Changing the quality setting in the game actually changes the way the ball moves. That’s right - some levels are easier or near impossible based on the set video quality.
-Next button at the end of the stage sometimes skips ahead to some random level. I guess that could be a pro for speed-running it.
-Using Continue from the main menu takes longer to load the level than selecting it from the level select menu.
-The pause menu doesn’t actually pause the game, it just stops the ball’s movement, but then gravity still has an effect and brings it down.
-Closing the pause menu has to be done with the mouse and it moves the camera while doing so.
-The camera defaults to a view where the ball is not in full view and you have to readjust the camera every time.
-False advertising – the store page claims there are 8 unlockable skins, but these are nowhere to be seen in the game, even after completing all of the levels.
-Broken levels. One level in particular, 31, has a rotating staircase that does not allow the player to ever make it to the top. I wasted at least an hour of my time before realizing that it just wasn’t going to happen.

I really wanted to enjoy this game, but not possible in its current state.

agree, I can beat all levels except level 31, the hardest part is clockwise staircase up on the middle of tower..

Thanks for responding and looking forward to your next game. Rolling Gauntlet could be very good and I hope you take the time to fix it as well - not just for current customers, but for to bring in future customers as well. Upon doing so, I will of course update my review.

Thank you again for your review it will help me to make better games in the future and just so you know I have found ways to improve loading times, pause menus, and player control. the only reason I have not fixed those issues in Rolling Gauntlet is because I would have to completely rebuild the game from the ground up to make those improvements work. It's not to say that I don't want to give those who have bought my game a better version but I am a one man team and I want to give all of my focus to my new game so again thank you for playing Rolling Gauntlet but I hope the next game I make catches your interest and it's worthy of your time.

Hi eviction I do apologise about the forums I'm not too familiar with them and how they work. I do understand your frustration with the game I was and am still improving on my game development skills. I do really appreciate that you completed the entire game I did that as well. I would hope that you would not give up on me as I have a game I'm working on now that I'm taking my time with to make sure it's worth what is asked. and I'm taking all of the reviews for Rolling Gauntlet into account while developing this game I want to make sure that everyone who plays it will enjoy themselves. I would offer you a refund for Rolling Gauntlet but you would've had to have played less than 2 hours worth, so for that I apologise.
