Good start – Tekling Review

As someone who hopes to join the institute someday, I hope I can give some feedback. Compared to past games in this lineup, it's a good step forward as far as look and gameplay goes. The main character has a very interesting design. However, the story seems a little cliche and mediocre and the control scheme is very odd. I've never seen controls like this before, maybe because it's unusual and detrimental to gameplay and flow. Half the time I can barely see the map because my thumbs get in the way. As for the idea itself... it's not bad in any way. Platforming as a solid genre, but it's also an overused and over-saturated genre. Because you guys don't have a lot of fancy tech and money to work with, most likely there will be games just like this out on the market that perform better and are more popular... I'm no professional on video game marketing, but one thing I've noticed is that the most successful games on iOS are games that innovate and bring something new to the table :) I suggest to expand your horizons and think big! Keep at it though. It gets better each game you do. But also.... Try not to Astroturf the reviews (don't write your own reviews on the game page. I know it's tempting, but it can actually do more harm than good. Better to be honest and transparent, especially in a very competitive market like this!)
