Rumours From Elsewhere 1.0

Rumours From Elsewhere demo is a side scrolling platform game that clearly takes some influence from the Prince of Persia games where you make your way through the desert battling enemies and snakes and avoiding obstacles.

The game has a lovely blocky art style to it, and on starting it this looks like a very promising demo, however there are a lot of flaws with Rumours From Elsewhere, the game control mechanics especially when using a keyboard, it can often fell jarring as your character always seem to be slightly off kilter from enemies and things that you need to attack. These problems mean you can never really get in to a good flow of the game and this is very disappointing for a game that looks like it should be so much fun.

This of course is only a demo of the game and hopefully the developers can make some adjustments because the aesthetic of the game is great but sadly the game play doesn't match up to its looks.

Some of the controls are fairly complex and with no tutorial to ease the player in, this could have made a huge impact on the enjoyment of the game if all the different attacks, defenses and special moves were explained things may have been much easier.
