HerbieG's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[StompR]

The game is interesting, you've got to think where to jump and when, but you should work a bit on winds' movement. I am currently waiting for about half of an hour on level 8 for one of the winds to move to be able to proceed, but it just got stucked on one creature and it won't budge. It would be good to be able to quit a life, but with the initial winds' placement. Oh, and I played & finished level 5 on all difficulties and I did not get the Level 5 medal.

xGamesSite responds:

Thanks for the review. I have the winds moving randomly which can be real aggravating. Level 8 is my nemesis. To get the Level 5 medal, you have to kill the bottom right Beast! Almost impossible. I have only done it once. The other medals are much easier to get. Do you have any issues with collecting the other medals?

Ok, we got a mix of skill-collect and skill-avoid here. The game is simple, but rather repetetive. One thing: I don't know if for others too, but for me the more I play it, the morethe game lags, after a while it even lags horribly. It also needs a pause button and maybe asteroids/spaceships counters. And maybe something that would make this game more attractive for a longer gameplay, other spaceship types or even a power-up system. About using spaceship parts: I found it more successful in blocking me from picking other asteroids.

I might add more stuff to the game in the future. I did try to add a pause button, but for some reason it didn't seem to work. I'll add it as soon as possible.

[Fridge Runner]

An interesting game, but the same issue as for Badgirlqc, the medals don't seem to work perfectly. I just got the first steps medal, but before:
1) Was playing 100% logged in, since I have "never log off" turned on;
2) Was connected;
3) Playing without ad-block and for example the Welcome medal did not unlock, and it should rather be earned before first steps.
I hope the further ones will work just fine, because it is an interesting thing to play.

TerribleDesign responds:

Hmm... None of my other games have this medal issue. I played a few of the other Stencyljam games, and it seems that they are having medal issues as well. This is looking like a Stencyl specific problem. I had no issue while I was play testing. Yes, "Welcome!" should be the first medal gotten. Really odd that it works for some and not others...

I will look into it, and if I find a solution, I will be sure to update it! As the save file will be the same, when you turn the game on, your times played variable will be the same and thus unlock the medals. :)

[DOTMAN]

Why not enabling arrows as well?

[Days Of Blood]

I observed one thing, I wonder if you could explain it to me: I keep the sword/shield attack button pressed. The time distance between subsequent attacks are the same. Distance between the enemies in a row are the same. Then how is it possible that I kill for example 3 of them and the 4th one grabs me? Something is illogical here.

[Skid Row: The Game]

I agree with Someaveragechap, the controls and the game itself are way too slow, sometimes when I want to jump from the crouch position it first takes about 2 seconds to stand up and then another 1-2 seconds to jump, while for example some bullets or bats already hit me. This leads to a conclusion that the game is a bit unbalanced when it comes to speed of enemies vs your own speed of movement.

tedgaming responds:

The controls are indeed a little slow but I don't think in the manner you described. Crouching to jumping should be very quick. It sounds like perhaps you crouch attacked and you couldn't move during the attack cool down period. Movement speeds and cool down are both improved as you level up and purchase upgrades. It's not the best mechanism, but it is a mechanism at the end of the day.

Thanks for the feedback though. I do agree that quicker controls would be better overall.

[4 Walls]

Unfortunately as for some other people, I cannot rate it because I cannot play it because of the "endless rendering" issue. Anybody any idea/sollution to this problem?

[Uberkid Invasion]

Ok, this game is weird. One time it kicked me out to a totally white screen with nothing else around. Sometimes I get guns when I pick Nene and Darnell, sometimes not. The "You got guns" sign successfully covers most of the screen for a longer moment. Most important: medals are rather working (sometimes the higher amount medal is being unlocked before the lower one), but their pop ups are weird. They always show 10 pts or even 0. You also cannot identify what medal did you just earn because of their weird titles displayed. They are always like "grid eh" or something like that.

h2o0tterART responds:

Thanks for the in-depth player play #HerbieG (u deserve a medal man)!

[Tap Mania]

The game itself is great! It really can keep you playing for a longer time.
Only two issues:
1. Every proper click the game stops for me for a moment.
2. Popping out medals sometimes cover a solid part of a square that needs to be clicked at the moment.

[Revienta los Globos]

Two major minuses:
1. Upgrades & extras do not work;
2. Saving doesn't work.
