Greymond

This game was generally about a small grey creature that lives in a grey world, and is sent out into the world of colour as the 'chosen one', to return colour to his own land. The game consists of a large variety of gameplay, from racing to rock climbing to spraying butterflies with some kind of sleeping powder.





When first starting up this game, I could already tell that the game had a childish feel to it, which should be expected after reading the instructions/summary. Though obviously made for children, the voices are disturbing, and the music kind of distracts the player from the game. When you first meet the creature-thing sitting in the cloud and he starts to talk, the music suddenly gets louder, and you can hardly tell what he's saying. Plus, the music doesn't fit the game at times. During the racing portion, to save the 'yellow speck', the music is rather depressing and mello, where it probably should be something hyped up.





The animation was nicely done and the difficulty was about a level three out of five, only because the game suddenly jumped into harder levels after a certain point (in the level where you have to save the 'blue speck').





The game suddenly took a turn, though, after the purple speck, when all of a sudden the creature in the cloud comes out of a 'restroom' with a... yellow stain at the front of his poofy self.




Somehow I don't think that this is a very childish theme, even though it's unrealistic.

Overall, though, I'd say the game is alright. The gameplay is entertaining, and the kid-ish animations are bearable, as long as you keep the sound muted (The dialogue isn't really important.)

Gameplay: 4/5
Animation: 3/5
Difficulty: 3/5
Sound Effects: 1/5
Storyline: 4/5
Themes: 2/5
