HerbieG's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Farm Life idle]

At some point the game stops sending scores/unlocking medals, because it probably disconnects from NG. This needs to be fixed. Because of that the game gave me (after reloading) the medal for 10 million, but not the one for 5. It should be re-checking it if necessary.

PS

Ok, the saved game loaded, the score loaded, but the medal for 5 million did not.

I had to buy enough things to get below 5 million and pass that point again to finally get the medal.

Really, saving doesn’t work. I’ll try to understand how to save the game. I think, in another game, https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/737249 works from me
I'll try to make normal save

[HardFlex: The Last Flex]

One suggestion: add R as a button for reloading the stages.
Also the stages should auto-reload when you die.

kbvpneofit responds:

It will be done!

[Straight Outta Pixels]

Awesome game! Two things though:
1. The in-game cursor and the windows cursor are visible simultaneously, causing bit of lag;
2. Not sure if it was intended, but I haven't released Kenny yet and from the level select screen I was able to do the prison break getting the final medal.

PS

That cursor issue is especially causing problems with the Kenny stage because for some reason some clicks simply do not register.

And I admit that those later fighting sequences are a bit brutal and a bit too long.

Munguia responds:

Thanks for the comments, i fixed issues 1 and 2, thanks

[Post Mortem]

An outstanding game! I definitely like its mood. But one improvement could be done: to see the names of the items you hold in the inventory at hovering the mouse cursor.

And the game should save the progress so you could continue from the point you have stopped playing.

KnoseDoge responds:

thank you very much!

[Ninja the Explorer]

Movement - too slow.
Dashing - oversensitive.

[Space Conquerors]

The game needs several features that would make it really epic:
1. A parts shop where players could buy better engines, weapons etc.;
2. More actual interactions between players - absolutely necessary in a good MMO;
3. Missions to complete in space, not just the defense missions that actually do not help you to earn much resources;
4. Maybe some special events happening in space sometimes? Let me know if you would need some ideas :-)

[Flesh to Stone:Pocket Pool Edition]

3 things would make the game more fun and enjoyable:
1. Bullet time;
2. A time indicator showing how much time - in seconds - you can still be invulnerable as a stone;
3. Dashing granting temporary invulnerability.

[Marble Trap]

Good one! Not sure if you were inspired by that PC game Ballance, but I wish the camera view could be adjusted like in that game and could be also normal, top-down, not only isometric.

[Might is Right]

Absolutely outstanding performance in making of this game, I don't remember when was the last time I've seen something like this on Newgrounds. Tons of effort put into it. However I am also experiencing problems with the encounters failing to load, both when I am attacking or when my squad is being attacked. Every time it forces me to reload the game. Also one thing is missing in this game: the equipment. Finding better weapons, armor, bows, enhanced arrows etc.

PS

I sadly had to reduce my score because of the balance issues I mentioned you in my PM. I am currently stuck in a situation in the game with no way out.

AlexGoldring responds:

Hey HerbieG,

thanks for your kind words! Equipment is on the roadmap, but for now I'm focusing on fixing bugs and making sure the game runs well. The idea for equipment is to have 3 slots for each character with a variety of passive effects similar to how talents work currently, allowing more rule-bending for characters, like making glass-cannon type characters tanky or doubling down on that sweet sweet DPS. If you have some more ideas - please feel free to drop me a message, I'm always open to new ideas :)

cheers,
-Alex

[Block Shot v1.1]

A bit too fast to be enjoyable in my opinion. Besides, on some computers/with some mice attached clicking the middle button causes the up-down scroll to appear, so it would be much better to add keyboard controls, like classical R for reload and a neighboring key for bomb, like E or F.

PS

Now it looks much better, but the medals for 1000, 1500 and probably 2000 highscore points are broken.

cheesydevYT responds:

Thanks for your input, I just updated with a few of those changes. Update: Fixed the medals now too :)
