HerbieG's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Express Stork Delivery]

Interesting concept! But this is definitely not a point & click game.

[Pick & Go!]

The medal check feature you implemented is not working properly. The game disconnected for me from NG before I finished board 3 and 4. I reloaded the game, but the corresponding medals did not unlock automatically. I had to replay the last stages of both boards to finally make them appear on my account.

[Coin Hunter]

You've got 1 major problem with medals: except the coin ones all others do not appear in-game in real-time. So they do not unlock on Newgrounds as well. To load them you need to reload the game.

[Yellow Jumper]

I sense a good dose of good old platformer brutality here. Good job!
It is not perfect though. And here is why:
1. I constantly have to play the game using a rather weird and inconvenient scheme: left+right arrow keys and w. Why? Because pressing up on Firefox moves the screen up as well while space moves the screen down.
2. I constantly got a feeling that the calibration of movement is a bit "over-powered". It is especially noticeable if you want to climb a ladder and there is a spike nearby on the top. You barely touch the key and the yellow guy instantly runs for his doom.
3. Speaking of ladders: having only 2 options: to be below or on the top of a ladder isn't the best invention.

Oh, good advice for everybody from some point: watch your step!

The game needs an alternate way to go between game/shop and the main screen, I actually do not see any green flags on the screen.

sorry, i just made it for scratch version, in newgrounds version, you just need to touch one of the buttons in the top right corner :)

[Zombie Defender: Leap of faith]

The control scheme ruins it all. Arrow keys + z or x for attack would do much better.

[The Death Chaos(12th Version)]

C'mon guys, this game is not bad, I can see a potential in it. There are only few things that bother me:
1. You should add arrow keys controls;
2. Does the medal actually work? Did you test it by finishing the game?
3. If you will make the game too long, then - if the game won't be saving progress - there is a great risk that when somebody will actually finish it - won't be awarded, because the game will simply disconnect from Newgrounds before that.
4. As for what "100% Done" means: on one level I missed a tricky coin placed just next to the level exit - will all coins be also required for that medal?

FerTheDripGuy responds:

Basically i have the option to unlock it for you, and i dont know how to make the acheivments work.

Dont worry, that last coin was to test if you would fall for it.

We had arrow keys on the 1st version.

I basically can't make a checkpoint or make something to save progress, plus your playing the outdated version, the 13th is the most recent one yet.

[Lava Joe]

Quite a good game we got here. It only needs one thing: local saving between sessions.

poolfish responds:

Thank you. I wasn't aware of the Newgrounds cloud save feature in the API tools when I converted my game to Newgrounds, just focused on medals and score boards, and frankly I don't know how to implement it yet. But I will investigate it. Can't promise it will happen today or any time soon since I'm working on another project.

[Ninja of Good]

1. Add arrow keys controls;
2. Change the attack button, pressing space on Firefox moves the screen down (you can also lock the screen).

PS

Well, sadly you did not improve the game in any of these ways.

xristos responds:

Thanks for the feedback!

[Gappy's Playground]

You just have to add saving for this. It's annoying if you are near the max number of coins collected, run out of time and then have to start from the very beginning. I'll rise my score if you'll do it.

LeviRamirez responds:

not in this but the full game for sure, glad you liked it for what it is! :-)
