just played narbacular drop for the first time.

[mastag]

and i cannot believe it is free. it is a superb and innovative game and i think valve made a very smart choice hiring the developers. anyone feel the same?

 

[Iced_Eagle]

Well naturally

I love Narb. Drop! I'm glad that there is going to be a full retail game based off of the concept.

Those guys who made Narbacular Drop are lucky. Narbacular Drop is not quite a interesting game. Valve found its protential and hired those guys. I think they are really jubilant since, initially, they are just a group of avocational game makers. They got a high salary now...

 

[Iced_Eagle]

Heh yeah they are.

Narb. Drop was actually their senior project at DigiPen, so right as they got out of college they got into the big leagues... Lucky them!

 

[wlodi]

Yeah, I agree, it was actually pretty good but unfortunately full of bugs, but hey, it was only a project. For example, when I was playing the game, I didn't encounter the boss at the end of game and the level was automatically successful .

 

[bigburpco]

I'm really lousy at it. I can't pass the 3rd level... pfft, stupid boulders.

EDIT: So it wasn't as hard as I thought, but those boulders were irritating nonetheless. So I've finished it. It's very, very fun. I can see why Valve hired them.

You can't believe it's free? It was beatable in 20 minutes. Who would pay for that? Now the real portals...I think thats gonna be like 1000 x better

Actually, Portal will be 100x better according to this guy on Steampowered who played an early alpha:

5 hours to beat it seems like a very good length for it, especially when that was an early version.

 

[mastag]

maybe i exaggerated a little. but its still a great game tho.

I just got!! It is great!! I finished it in a half hour though

 

[ríomhaire]

Very fun, even on the 4th playthrough. Messing with portals is so fun. Also, you get a real sense of acomplishment when you realise how to do ledge lader properly. :E

So what's the 'proper' way? I just portalled up to the second-from-top and then shot a new exit through the entrance to get up to the top.

edit: doh! I could have done that all the way up.

I hope that's true.

Although 5 hours is great, I really want Valve to come out with a massively long game. Why can't they spend loads of extra time and make this game just get harder and harder and harder with f*cking loads of levels. Like, make it almost impossible by the last level.

Shut up, it's free. And there will be TONS of custom maps made by third parties.

 

[Shields]

Nothing is free. Mark my words Episode 2 will be more than $20.

 

[The Brick]

No it won't.

There are loads of people who will buy the gamepack solely for episode 2. They don't care about the extra games. They payed $20 for episode 1. If they have to pay more to get episode 2 they will not be happy, and perhaps think that episode 3 will be even more expensive. Valve would lose a lot of customers that way.

And Portal does not come with it.

 

[Deleted member 56031]

yes it does

 

[Costin]

can anyone help me finish Narb. drop????? It's starts to annoiy me,I can't get out of that room at the begining????

 

[ríomhaire]

There are 2 buttons on the ground, and a metal box. If you can't figure it out never atempt to play a puzzel game again.

 

[Costin]

i've missed the hints that they give you every level...thanks any way...
