HerbieG's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[C.O.W. (Creatively Organized Waffles)]

One thing is extremely infuriating: why can't I simply put down a piece that I am holding in my hand on one of the 4 free spots? Why the game refuses to allow me to do so instead forcing me to hold it until I put it on the board?

LeSam responds:

It should be be a bit more logical in the latest release (hopefully). Feel free to try again if you want :)

Thanks for playing!

Lots of wasted potential because of terrible controls and camera view that is far from being fluent. And lots of people pointed that so you should consider doing something about it. You're just running around like crazy, barely able to control that... thing, not even thinking about fulfilling the requirements for medals. What's even worse: you can just enter things around you or go straight through them.

[Deggfense]

I hope that you will polish the game after the jam, because it has a potential. Just one more note: I wanted to pause the game and to do it I pressed esc...

[Ocean Savior]

Much better made than Lava Rise. The only problem is that currently both medals and scoreboards are not working.

PS

The fact that the game is under judgment doesn't matter at all.

BuzzGame responds:

I'm so glad you enjoyed it better, Yes they're currently not working because it's still under judgement

Looks nice! Just one thing: camera view rotation is a must in such a game.

BryceSummer responds:

I'm going to push an update out very soon with the ability to zoom/rotate the camera while you are stationary in order to find eggs. I'm going to make it so that the camera snaps back to the default when you start moving though -- as the levels were meant to be played from that perspective... However, do let me know if you disagree with that design decision -- I could still potentially make it so the camera controls persist while you're moving too.


Thanks for the suggestion!

[Lava Rise]

You should listen to people saying that the "random disappear glitch" is caused by the game and not by any browser. If the game is properly coded such a thing should not happen. I entered the game, did not switch any windows/tabs, yet every 2-3 games my dino just disappears or teleports to the left or right border of the screen just by touching a platform above. It can even happen that I just begin a new game, dino makes ONE jump and after touching the next platform just vanishes.

BuzzGame responds:

Finally after digging a lot I think I found the bug and tackled it so it would be great if you can verify that the glitch is no longer there,

I really listen to each review but the thing with this bug is that I didn't encounter it myself so it makes it so hard to identify the problem and develop a solution for it.

It would be good if arrow keys also worked, not only A and D. After I finished the tutorial the game just continued on a blank screen, not returning to the main menu. On some occasions it is only a matter of luck whether you will choose the right side to continue falling.

HiimLuki responds:

Arrow keys are working now. I try to reproduce/fix the blank screen bug to make the game as pleasant as possible!

[Monster Match]

Nicely done, but could use some local saving since the game seems a bit long.

[Balls Playground]

Has a potential, but there are way too many blind jumps. You got no idea which way you are suppose to go, where is the next platform located, so it leaves you with pure trial & error.

MistaCooParasonF5G responds:

well yea I could see that but this game is supposed to be trial and error but I don't want people to lose on the little jumps cause those aren't even obstacles but some of the actual obstacles I made are supposed to be trial and error but I will fix the little ones
