User Reviews on COMIC BOY
Looking for more information? Read a comprehensive review of COMIC BOY below:
We know the game is as great as the developers say it really is and on that we personally couldnt agree more. They just need to make enough improvements to pay homage to Comix Zone. If theres more than one thing we personally believe the developers can do to prove just that they should put in a opening introduction to the game so that everytime players load up the game they can see something similar to Comix Zone itself. Another thing we had in mind is interactions between the four characters like comicboy and parkourgirl talking about how they got into the comic book and what they should do to celebrate once they finally escape from the comic book. And one last thing we had in mind is that upon completing all the other levels there should be a level where comicboy confronts the alien blob like creature that brought him into the comic book world and upon defeating it he and his friends are sent back to the real world. Message to the developers: if this advice helps out we sincerely you give you a shot. Thank you and good night.
This game is a nice concept. It sounds cool to control a character inside a comic. But the execution is extremely poor. Its like a very early alpha of a game, but doesnt have any sort of polish. Its repetitive and the controls are not all that great. We dont normally write bad reviews like this, but since Apple featured this app for some reason we decided to check it out only to be pretty disappointed. Hopefully the developers see these reviews and improve the game. It could be really good, but its just not there yet.
We dont understand why so many people hate on the game for the character. So many other games and movies reference other games and characters and pay homage to them, and we all laugh and enjoy it. It gives a more fun feel when we can connect to a character or compare it to something else. Just because something looks similar to something else does not mean that it is plagiarizing or stealing, and besides, in what other ways does this character resemble Calvin, besides some similar appearances. The game reviews are supposed to be based on how enjoyable the game is and whether its worth playing. :) so if you want a real, honest review of the game, read on. We think the game is fun. Theres a few bugs here and there, but its an exciting game and full of surprises. We love how you have each level not the same every single time you retry. It makes for a ever changing game and no rote ness to the game. We really enjoy the various bosses and their challenges and appearances that startle us every time. The deaths of the characters are fairly hilarious. The platforming of the characters is pretty good quality, but like some have said, some things arent the most clear. For instance, we wasnt aware for a while that you could slam on other creatures to get ink, and then also which creatures we could slam and which we cant. We also didnt know that having so much ink could function as a Star from Mario, making you invincible. We also didnt realize the way to escape the blob monster for quite a while as it wasnt clear. Perhaps you could include the monster in some sort of intro level where you teach the person what you need to do. Either way, trying to escape that blob monster makes things fun. :) In our opinion, there are some things that you could improve upon, if you developers read this. For one, we would really appreciate a restart level button in the pause menu, rather than going back to the menu and back into the level. For convenience sake, it would be easier. We also dont like how sometimes you slam through the bones into the water of the ice and beach worlds, making it impossible to slam down. It also would be nice if the brains speech bubble above the zombies could be made clear that it isnt a monster that you have to avoid. Also, when you have an object on the edge of a wall, and you have to double jump to avoid hitting the object to turn around, its rather difficult to do for the character because of the wall, it feels a bit clumsy. Perhaps you could have it do a Mario-esque wall jump-kick? We really appreciate the art and art style. We like looking at the character and being reminded of various comics. It might look similar to Calvin strictly in terms of hair style and face, but it helps us connect with the character and feel like Im powering a real Sunday funnies character through a life or death situation. Something we would love to see in the game is the intro you include in the App Store preview of the game where the blob comes out of the comic and eats comic boy, including that video snippet in the game itself to build on the story. Also perhaps some more variance in the background of the game would be good. The background art is great and we love the occasional dead polar bear with its legs up, but we think it could be more interesting. But not too cluttered. Overall its a solid game in terms of the gameplay itself, its diverse in the levels and always exciting, and its just fun. Tbh, we always play games with the sound off so sorry if we are not able to give a better review on it. But its one of the more enjoyable platformers on mobile we’ve played in a while, and we’ve spend hours on it, and still plan on finishing the game. It has a lot of potential, and was a great idea for a game. Keep it up 5/5 stars.
This game is great fun and a clever homage to classic old school comic strips from the papers.
(Review Updated) Its kind of disappointing because somewhere in this app is a fun, creative game wanting to break free. But its held back by A.) we dont care if it was an attempt at a homage or not – The main character looks too close to Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes to be acceptable! Buuuut that said, other issues are: B.) The obnoxious, unbearably annoying rock music… EDIT: Fixed! Great work! The new music fits in very smoothly with the levels now and is no longer distracting. Made the game MUCH more playable and along with the simplistic gameplay dare we say, relaxing! The added mute button is appreciated too. However, if youre not looking for a potentially relaxing game: C.) The gameplay and levels themselves really lack energy. The game honesty looks great visually with smooth character animations, but actually gets pretty boring and mindless once you start playing it. Just run through the panel. Pick up collectibles. Duck. Jump. Done. Incorporating some more variety, such as an attack move that can be performed against enemies (as opposed to just jumping over everything) could possibly fix this problem. The controls need to be a little more responsive too. And the menus need to be more user friendly (Add a restart level button!) The concept is really cool though, and if these features of the game were fixed (with a new main character and more fun and engaging levels) it would be awesome!
Concept is top notch Problem is the control gestures are so unusual and create an anti flow of physical movement of your hand,it takes all the fun out of the game.
We were drawn to this game for its art style but cant get past the poor gameplay. It looks like a side-scrolling endless runner crossed with a platformer, reminding us of games like Nitromes Leap Day, but the control responsiveness and physics are off. So for example, the first character has a roll move that allows you to dodge under hanging obstacles. However, this dodge has a tightly predefined distance, so the character pops up immediately upon completion. Thats fine in a game with stationary objects, like most endless runners, but here there are objects that move. That means you can easily find yourself in situations that are unwinnable, e.g., if you are moving in the same direction as a swinging platform that you need to dodge under, because you run a little slower than the swing, your only option is to dodge under it (limited distance) or jump over it (finicky hit box). Combine that with limited lives and an unskippable countdown timer after losing 3 lives, and you have a lot of unnecessary and repetitive frustration. There are also odd choices for the physics; for example, your character typically sails through the air when jumping in a slow arc yet if you walk off of a ledge, you drop literally straight down like a rock, and at a FASTER rate than you fall in jumps! That just makes no sense at all; the game does not consistently apply its own physics, which for a platformer, for us, is the kiss of death.
This game brings back some of the older gameboy and PS4 game styles! Loving it :)
Mecnica simple y entretenida. Us gustara que en algn futuro tenga elementos de RPG y aventura.
We like the game but we would like to have a gun to shoot some thing but we guess thats not the game idea but well ill wait for the future updates.
This is a game that is frustratingly fun. We almost wanted to throw our iPad out of the window a couple of times Love it!
We like that the character looks like Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes.
Hi! We really enjoy this game so far but we have two problems! 1. Is there anyway to turn off the music? We want to play in public with like the sound affects on but we dont want the music blasting! 2. Are there gonna be more levels?
So off-brand Calvin and Hobbes meets the plot of Epic Mickey and the gameplay of Castle of Illusion? Alright?
This game really just pisses us of #yolo.
The game seems fun but, as of right now you cant mute the annoying music that its blaring.
Fun game but we cant seem to find a way to turn off the sounds and music? Very weird.
The design for the main character seems quite similar to Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes. We played through the first 10 levels, and was pretty bored. Not bad, but also not terribly inspired gameplay, but we can see myself wasting some time at the DMV playing this or something. The UI seems pretty weird though? Why is there no settings button? We wanted to turn off the music, but could not find a way. When we tapped the sound box on the right side of the main menu it brought us to the level select screen. Once there, theres no way to go back to the main menu. Ok, weird but we guess if there is no reason to be on the main menu (such as to turn the sound off) it doesnt matter too much. Also when in the game, the pause button does not have any way to restart the level, it forces you to quit to the level select screen and then reselect the level you were playing. Which wastes time and theres no reason for. And of course, again no way to get to settings from the pause menu or turn off the sounds. Overall, its ok.
First, imwould love to know why every "free" platformer always does the thing where the character constantly moves forward and you can’t control them. Like classic super mario brothers lets you move left or right and the character only moves when you want them to, but all the free games always take that away from the player. It’s like, "you wanna control your character? Buy a premium game." to be fair, the game is challenging and it looks like effort was put into the level design. Plus it seems to be not too stingy with the coins. We played for about an hour and had already earned 3000 coins which is a third of the way toward buying the ninja, which we could have doubled if we watched ads which we chose not to do. The ads are not intrusive . There are no "forced" ads. Some games force you to watch an ad every 2-3 levels even if you don’t want to, but this game doesn’t do that. That little rant out of the way, our major complaint isn’t the annoying repetitive soundtrack that plays the same song over and over and you only ever hear the first 15-20 seconds of the song. Our major complaint isn’t the constant repeating voiceovers "jump jump" "avoid the shark" "it’s a mexico madness".."its a mexico madness"…"jump jump"…"it’s a mexico madness" our major complaint is not about overly sensitive swipe controls that make you accidentally slow down or speed the character when you don’t want to. Our major complaint, which is also the big thing that made us rage quit is the fact that the game is a buggy mess. The hit detection is off. We’ll know we cleared a jump and we die anyway. At times we’ll just fall through the floor for no apparent reason. On one level, we jumped to a platform and the character got stuck in the platform running in place. The last straw was when the character ran into the wall and instead of turning aroumd and goimg the other way like he was supposed to, he walked through the wall and off the screen and then apparently fell down 2 panels and was still offscreen and the game just kept going the music kept going, the voiceovers kept repeating but the panels were frozen in place and we had to quit to level and we just got annoyed. Maybe if they fix the bugs, we might raise the game to 3 stars but until then we don’t need to clog up half a gigabyte of space on our device for this . . .
Im bummed man, the song is pretty repetitive and annoying, but some times that happens with games like this, and endless running games arent always that great, maybe you thought about making the character control-able, maybe not idk, but we would have preferred the control. But what Im truly bummed about is your main character…. Im a massive fan of Calvin and Hobbes, so to see you try to make some a game in honor of that is cool, but poorly executed. Calvin and Hobbes is something very dear to millions, and Im assuming to you as well, at least we hope so, so we bummed to see that your inspiration veered to closely to plagiarism, the main character looks ALMOST identical to Calvin. From a business standpoint thats just marketing, from a fans perspective of the original IP, it hurts because Bill Watterson hated gimmicky sellout stuff…. We believe you were inspired, we just dont think you understood how to go about it without making the true fans angry, BUT Im also bummed at how some people are just being insanely hurt to the point that they cant give constructive criticism, so from one artist to another Im sorry you have to deal with that, but we also can see where both sides are coming from.
Kudos for obviously taking inspiration of Bill Waterson. Calvin and Hobbes was an amazing comic growing up and better as an adult understanding the satire. That being said, this isnt a good game. The animation is unpolished, the levels are pretty bland, the gameplay and control are not fluid or executed well. It’s got ads at the end of every level (the ads are longer than most levels….). Its overall a very unpolished, amateur attempt at a game. Devs should work on animation, better world/level art and design, game play and mechanics polish; basically realize this was a very shoddy attempt at a game but in line with a very amateur release and needs major improvement or complete overhaul. The fact that its Apple’s game of the day is a disgrace against titles that actually have some polish and fun to play.
And here we thought the author locked you away… Good game play but Comic-boy and Foxy look way to close to Calvin and Hobbes.
This is perhaps one of THE worst games we’ve ever downloaded in the App Store. Im not even going to talk about the obvious rip off of Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes (its already been talked about ad nauseam in reviews here). We will talk about the game play, which quite frankly is boring. It feels like a mediocre side-scroller crossed with a repetitive endless runner. And that annoying music-UGH!!! It is SO obnoxiously distracting and grating. It is certainly not the kind of music one thinks about when looking at a comic like this. Overall, the game simply doesnt feel like it was well thought out at all. It is free, so you can try it out yourself but our guess is you wont be keeping it on your device very long. We lasted about five minutes and promptly deleted it. A big miss on this one.
You know when companies hire garage bands to perform fake rock songs for their radio commercials and its hideous yet you dont really care because its only 30 seconds long? Imagine that crap extended FOREVER in an ENDLESS loop. Turns out you care a lot then. We really wanted to like this game but now our ears are bleeding.
We all know thats Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes, right?
This game is absolutely awful. We downloaded it and deleted it in less than 3 minutes. If we could give in 0 stars we would.
Way to rip off Calvin & Hobbes. You really couldnt come up with your own character design? Downloaded just to give one star.
Why make the main character such a blatant knockoff of Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes? No idea how this got Game of the Day.
FLAGRANT plagiarism. The title character is a painfully obvious copy of Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes. Dont support stealing from artists. Dont download this game.
He looks just like Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes and the game is not very good. It does not follow our perfectly dont hand motions and the song and what he says is very cringe. Sorry, but it just looks like a copy of our favorite comic book and a comic book reader/lover Calvin was..
See above. Learn to make your own art. We hope you never make another game, this is disgusting.
They ripped off Calvin. Not cool. Looked at the 3 other characters. They are not homages to famous characters its just a ripoff.
The game is ok, the main character looks just like Calvin after Hobbs left.
This is blatant copy-write infringement of Calvin and Hobbes. The screen shots and even app tile is a blatant rip off of someone elses art.
We would highly suggest you update the game to remove the main character to avoid a lawsuit. Definitely not cool. As for another review regarding the same thing, unlocking another character isn’t the issue. If there are others to unlock, make that the face of your game. Not someone else’s work.
This game desperately wishes it could be Comix Zone, a game that actually uses the comic aesthetic in creative and interesting ways. Pretty pathetic that this game doesnt even come close despite having almost 30 years of technological advances and insight. The game play boils down to a super generic endless runner, and the visuals are either extremely uninspired or plagiarized. Please get this game off the front page back into obscurity where it belongs.
We got charged $6.99 for this game? There was no indication of that.
The App Store is just an ocean of garbage apps that are poorly made and clearly exist to fuel a monetization model akin to gambling. This app clearly is trying to cash in on sentimental value from the comic Calvin and Hobbes, which the creator famously never licensed. Im not sure when the App Store became a cesspool of free to play games, but we would wager it changed once companies started making bucket loads of money from games such as clash of clans etc etc… We miss the innovative days of the App Store…
When you made this game you didn’t even have a clue of what you were doing the controls aren’t good the music is not the best or catchy there are so many problems with this game so we deleted it it is the worst game you thought up.
We haven’t even played the game and it’s garbage. As an artist we are completely offended that you would take one of the most iconic comic strip characters and absolutely steal it for the purposes of another cash grab game. We’re equally offended that apple first, would allow this to even make it into the app store and second, that they would feature it like it’s some sort of innovative app. Clearly it’s theft and if we were Bill, we would she the hell out of the developer and apple… Shameful.
A game made completely through plagiarism. So many intellectual properties stolen and infringed upon. Hell, even the sponsors are rip offs of Five Nights at Freddies. This is disgusting and boasts disrespect. Terrible company. Just awful.
Blatant Copyright Infringement of Calvin & Hobbes.. Reported to Apple and Andrews McMeel Universal Syndication. Terrible.
Yall didnt even try. This needs to be taken off the App Store immediately and the developers reprimanded.
Dont get us wrong, we thought the game would have awesome controls or at least have a decent soundtrack. None of those things are in there. Im so surprised this was even on game of the day (AppStore). Its probably so cheesy it should say this when you open the app, Player Beware: this game contains terrible graphics; so terrible, youll want to bleach your eyes. And dont get us started on the controls. Bottom line: dont. Get. This. Game.
Main character is BLATANTLY plagiarized, this game should be banned from the app store for that alone. Looking past that, the sound is so annoying we couldnt bear it for more than a few minutes, and the GUI is designed to make you accidentally watch ads after every short level.
