HerbieG's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Remember Death]

You know what, I read this at night yesterday, reached end of Chapter 2 and... had nightmares after that! Seriously! It just drills into depths of your mind! And I must say one thing: I read your stories before and you are a genius, a grandmaster of plot building. This thing is better than mixed "Saw" series and "Cube" series. A relation to these two movie series was my first thought.
It only needs some improvements:
1. Like many people mentioned the "S" needs to work fluently, sometimes I have to mash it numerous times before the dialogue proceeds;
2. Something creepy: looks like you forgot to draw Alice's right eye at the end of Chapter 2;
3. The text needs further polishing, because there are still lexical, grammar and punctuation errors.
I could help you with that, just let me know.

[Nichi Nichi]

There is one bad thing about this game: sometimes when you land on a bubble you are not bouncing from it, but you just stick to it and cannot move any further.

jupitron responds:

Yeah it sucks. Why this things cant always just... work?
I'll fix it soon! Sorry!

[Paper Warfare]

The game itself is great, but levels 5 and probably above are unplayable for me because of the excessive lag caused by so many projectiles on the screen. Without this problem I would give it 4-5 stars.

[OMGAF Dragon!]

Well, it isn't good for two reasons:
1) Lots of times I respawn in a place from which I instantly die;
2) Sometimes after I die the game just breaks, there is dragon and no respawn, so the only thing to do is collapse the game and start it from the very beginning.

[Nestalgic]

The game is great, reminds me the old times, but for some reason is not giving me medals and doesn't save.

[ChipRush]

Only one question: does this game really have to flash everytime I get hit? I mean these black screen-red screen-black screen..., it is really disturbing, making eyes hurt and when the game returns to normal mode you aren't at first sure where exactly are you.

[Roomryder]

The graphics is great, music & sound too, but about the gameplay... I bet that nobody will ever be able to get the 250/500 medals, prove me if I am wrong by getting them to show the others that it is possible - a "little" challenge for the Author :-) It's a matter of a classic dilemma whether the God can create a rock that he could not lift. Did the Developer create a game that he could not beat? ;-)

rawb1t responds:

I thought the same about Flappy Bird. But, at least, I got 244 points, after 1 mio tries, I guess. I think it's possible. But I think it would be nicer as an Android App.

[Pipa's Quest]

I must say I liked this game and this specific double jump is quite nice and useful when you get used to it. I only didn't like the slippy movement on the short platforms. Oh, one thing; I finished this game twice already, the final medal popped out, but did not unlock for me. I am also not present on the score list, why?

jas7229 responds:

Thank you so much for your kind words and taking the time to play through the game (twice!) :D

Hmm, I'm not really sure why the final medal does not unlock/score list post, but I would love to be able to figure it out and fix it! I'm assuming you got all the way to the Congratulations screen where the final score displays? I don't suppose you happened to check the in-game achievements (through the ui button/seperate time played screen) to see if it unlocked there?

Unfortunately, I'm not super familiar with the NG's api stuff so if the medal does pop up but just doesn't register to your account, it means the event was at least triggered in the Stencyl program...and that's about as far as I know. One slight possibility could be that adblock may affect medals/scores if you happen to have that enabled? If not, I guess I'll just have to search for the flaw somewhere along the way and see if I can fix it :P

[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?

[The Asteroid]

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.

8rlx0apps responds:

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.
