HerbieG's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Notes]

Ok, I managed to get all the medals, but the game is not necessarily fair. And here is why:
1. As it was already stated the hitboxes are a bit weird;
2. The notes indeed are not responding sometimes;
3. Not so rarely a note is being kicked from the speaker directly outside the screen, so you have no chance to click them;
4. Also when multiple notes appear at the same time they are disappearing too fast to click them;
5. It also happens sometimes that the notes are still on the screen, while the game already decides to end the level, so again - no chance to click these notes.
Without these weaknesses the game would be really good.

[Makros Superpos]

Ok, I finished a game... no, I finished not a game... maybe again no? But one thing is for sure: a lot of trial and error and I still don't get this "game" ;-) I couldn't find any rule in what should I do to make the cats run, jump, run and jump at the same time, I only recognized that on some levels fast "reality changes" are essential.
And! One complain ;-)
According to the Schrödinger's Paradox all found cats should count as alive, because they are dead & alive at the same time :-)
And this is also how this game is a game and is not a game at the same time :-)

whileworking responds:

Thanks! But no, that's not right. Once you open the box, You are the observer, this is where the quantum superposition ends!

[Rainbow Cube]

Ok, reached the highest medal, in fact even above 400 points, time to write a review.
In fact I must say that reaching those 300 points has definitely nothing to do with any skills, at that speed it is just dumb luck, hit & hope etc. Even with max upgrade for initial speed reduction and 1/2 speed power up most of the time after you pass approximately 100-150 points there is simply no time for reaction not mentioning recognizing what is being written on the power up circles. So as I said before: hit & hope. Try rotating and hope you will pick a good power up :-)
To reach the 300 points medal you need some special circumstances: max upgrades for 1/2 speed power up duration, max upgrade for multi color cubes - they are extremely important, max upgrade for initial speed reduction (yes, those upgrades aren't endless) and... here is where ends what depends on you. Now you need tons of luck to pick enough multi color cubes before the game becomes impossible to control - the about 100 points borderline. I spent few hours waiting for this kind of a situation, but when it happened - at some point I had about 110-120 cubes.
About other things: I agree that the writings on the blue circles are very hard to read, they should either have a bigger/thinner font or they should be written using white letters maybe?
The 1/2 speed power up is useless at the beginning, because after you pick it it expires before another cube is being collected. of course later it becomes crucial. To make some improvements and not to make the game too easy: the upgrade effect could be reduced, but on the other hand the effect could be changed this way: instead of being cumulative in the matter of power (1 power up - 1/2 speed, 2 power ups picked - 1/4 speed) it could be cumulative in the matter of time: another picked power up would add the time of being active to the previously picked.
Nonetheless - it is a good game :-)

[Oscar´s Tale]

I fully support the message. I hope that most of the people won't just click forward, forward, forward as fast as they can just to get the medal and they will stop for a moment to read it and take into their minds - and hearts. It is inhuman how people are treating animals, no matter wild animals or pets. For example the Dogs. Parents are buying a dog for the kid because he/she wants to play with and when gest bored... Animals also have feelings, they are NOT ITEMS. I always say that the way in which you treat an animal tells a lot about yourself - and what kind of a human being you are.

[Mandallapse]

Nice and even partially innovative puzzle game :-) I only don't understand why my score is not on the board? Obviously yound also passed 10 000 points, but his score is only 7000.

TrickDexter responds:

Yes, it is a bug in some way. Score is entering the board when game over. (fixed)
Thank you for your review.

[Jump Quest]

I must say that the game is surprisingly addictive :-)
Requires 100% concentration all the time :-)
But for 5 stars it is not enough.
There are some irritating things in it:
1. The guy you are controlling is following the mouse movement with a slight delay;
2. Sometimes the game is creating subsequent platforms in a way in which you are unable to reach the second one from the first one:
a) first case is when you are on a platform on the very left on the screen and the next one is located to the very right or vice versa; when you add that delay I mentioned earlier - there is no way you can reach it;
b) second case: not so rarely you are not able to reach another platform even if it is just above you because of the distance between them or because the game is not considering hitting of the next platform even if you definitely touch it enough to get a bounce;
3. The double points bonuses in the current state are useless, because if you decide to pick one of them - you will likely fall. To make them useful you should add at least a one-time double height jump bonus when touching them - or an ability to click one time to reach the next platform.
If you would improve the game - I would add more stars :-) First - very good game, then - 5 stars, that is the proper sequence :-)

i Will hopfully make This polished up the menu thing Just really got at me and i uploaded

[I am the ninja]

4 things:
1. Improve the controls, especially the mid-air control could use some work, for example when you want to turn around while falling down it takes too much time for ninja to react; also the wall jump could be better;
2. When there is too much red or green blood on the screen the game becomes laggy as hell;
3. Sometimes the jetpack fails to turn on immediately;
4. Could use a reset stage button.

Frozennnn responds:

Hi thanks for the feedback i will add this features and make and update. Thanks for play the game

[Pokemon Rescue]

Generally not bad, but:
1. Partially the medals issues finally fixed;
2. But we have a medal for finishing level 8 while... there is no level 8!
3. It is ridiculous to place a medal with requirement to have a smartphone;
4. Since Pokedex costs a big chunk of score it is even more unfair;
5. You cannot click on Pokemons till they fully enter the screen;
6. There are also problems in clicking Pokemons behind the score numbers;
7. And sometimes the game does not allow more than one Pokemon to be clicked and shrink at the time;
8. The score is random (it depends on the time left after finishing the level): one time I was waiting for almost half a minute for the first Pokemon to show up.
With these problems solved and maybe an expanded version of the game I would add one full star to my score.

[XCVB ++]

First to beat! I must say that you have no idea how happy did you make me by submitting that game :-) I played the first one and I REALLY enjoyed it. This one is great as well - various levels, precise movement required, nice graphics and a unique movement scheme :-) If you'll ever plan to submit a third one - let me know :-)

[Dagger is Wet]

The next one after the level solved by @Lipster is pretty obvious, take all available primes = go one time in each direction. Although I also don't understand why 63 on the previous one?
Hey, come on people, we can solve this! Just few levels to go ;-)
But now what the hell does that meu supposed to mean?
I thought about one thing: it would be good if you could return to the book during the game to refresh the text of the clue.
