HerbieG's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dobuki's Epic Journey]

This RPG fully deserves to be called epic! The subsequent problems to solve was sometimes extremely hard to guess, you always had to think "out of the box", because you never knew where the solution might be. I would risk a statement that it is the best (or one of the best) RPGs here on Newgrounds, it hooked me so much that I played it for last two days. And I am damn proud to be the first one to finish this! What's more? Great music, I always liked electro and dance tunes. Summarizing: my new favourite! All 5 stars from me, even with the problems with Firefox mentioned in the review before. If you will be making anything like this in the future - just let me know :-)

Wow, I'm so glad you liked it!

[Mr. Splibox: The Christmas Story]

I never get enough of the games from this series, they are absolutely great! A perfect combination of logical thinking and manual (platformer) skills. All 5 stars for this! Already waiting for another one!

[Space Llama]

Few complains:
1. Movement: too slow;
2. Only up-down movement;
3. The time before you can shoot after taking damage is way too long;
4. One power-up would be good: rainbow recovery speed increase;
5. Opponents' hitboxes are too small, smaller than their real visible size;
6. No pause button.

[Wild Wasteland]

I must say that playing this game gives a lot of fun, the gameplay is definitely awesome, but... one minus for me: the last medal case, about which I already wrote both to Gamezhero and Kashur. I killed the last boss, even did it twice, got the in-game achievement, but the game did not give me the medal. The question is: how am I supposed to get it now? Why the game is not re-checking medals at start-up, so if there is a problem the player could get all the medals?

[Jingle Clicker]

The game isn't bad, but again there are some issues with medals: I did not get ones for first present and 12 months. Also my levels are not being saved. I wanted to send you a message about it but... a deep disappointment - I cannot, because I see a message saying that I am not on some contacts list, because you set something like this. It is the first time I see something like this on NG. It is, I don't know, a try to separate, make a distance from the players, maybe sending you some comments about your games? I must say that it is sad for me personally, because I remember that you appreciated some of my suggestions regarding your earlier games...

[Survival of the Undead]

Could you check the game? I finished it twice, but did not get any medals.

jupitron responds:

Hi, please try again, there´s a new version up. Thanks a lot!

[Party Ball Arcade]

Sorry, but I totally agree with @fuckoffasshole. What's more:
1. The steering is indeed terrible, the ball is barely controllable.
2. As I can see even the authors of the game did not pass it - enough said.
3. Badly balanced - the difficulty level is rising almost at the very beginning of the game.
4. Medal points amount vs the difficulty: if you give 5 points for so many levels like these...
5. I agree that when you accidentally hit the end without a certain amount of cups it is deeply unfair that it just ends by saying that you failed.
I personally doubt if anybody will finish this game...

[Zombie Mania]

You know what? I am taking whole 3 stars away from this game. Why? Because of the terrible lag! If my quad-core processor can't manage to make the game run smoothly - then it means that the game sucks and its management of memory. The shooter is responding with even few seconds delay, the fired projectiles make the game run so slowly that it is unplayable. Fix it!

[The Sequence]

I would strongly argue about some of the levels, because there are really different logics possible.
Oh, the half levels medal is not working.

gamezhero responds:

fixed

[Arena Rush]

YES!!! One damn thing: if you beat this one, you can definitely say that you achieved SOMETHING! When I first tried it I even thought that it is pretty impossible ;-) Probably the hardest skill - avoid game on Newgrounds with great background music. You think you are really hardcore? Try this!
