HerbieG's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Staff of Exile]

3 stars for encouragement for further development :-) Two things:
1. The mechanics of jumping: jumping is a bit too fast, this makes it more difficult to reach the subseqent platforms; also sometimes it seems like you are jumping through the platforms;
2. Even more important: the screen should not scroll at the time when you reach the border of the screen but much earlier, because currently you simply can get killed because you see the next enemy... when you step into him. Also sometimes you can't see where are you going to jump next.

[Spread the Virus]

A goog idea for a game, but it would be better if the steering was improved, currently it looks not like moving around but rather like driving a car.

Thank you for that constructive feedback!

[Ultimate Dragon Runner]

Hey, this game rocks! It reminds me a bit the Birdinator, but with less options. I've got some suggestions/questions though:
1. The third indicator is some kind of an energy level, which runs out and sometimes is being recharged. How do I recharge it during the game? I couldn't figure that.
2. There could be more types of enemies, because at the current level the game is relatively easy.
3. I assume that the dragon rider's life can be increased by rising the base life level, but how about a separate upgrade for that?

[IndeiJumps]

A game with a potential, but one thing is irritating: the movement. You have a feeling that you're on the Moon or something. Also the person ypu control reacts way too slowly. There is also one illogical thing: when just passing by the platform with the rising arrows and not walking/jumping on it, why am I being hit by them?

Thank you for your review, the game had to work actually faster, but I guess the graphics are too heavy for flash to handle.. I am gonna do something with that on the full version.
About the arrow part, I know what are you talking about. It's because the collision box of the arrow is still touching the collision box of the player. No matter what platform are you standing. But I will think what I can do about that so it wont be "illogical".
Thanks again for the feedback! :)

[Sheep Quest]

Unfortunately the game is not loading, I see only the "loading" screen and nothing is happening. Besides, it seems like the game is wider than the screen, because from the words "Sheep Quest" I can see only half of h, eep and "Que".

NewKrok responds:

Hi, thank you for your feedback, we checked found the problem.
We are working on the solution. In the meantime you can play it from other browsers except chrome.

[Cod Name:Fox]

Why to submit a game, which cannot be played online and instead you are forced to click some downloading links?

[Viking Warfare]

The game itself is great! My new favourite! It successfully stole few hours from me ;-) It is probably one of the hardest if not the harder defense games I have ever played. But now let's get professional now and write a review ;-) or rather some remarks:
1. The tutorial and waves information "windows" sometimes are covering the places where you could or at the moment would need to place a building, you simply cannot see where you can place something because of the writings;
2. The same about the name of the sponsor in the top right corner;
3 The boat sometimes is being created in places from which you cannot move it, or even on land;
4. The last but definitely not least, since it is most irritating: I beat the 10th level, and:
a) it is not shown on the highscore board;
b) I did not receive the medal (the Defender one).
A proof that I did it? The number of stars. You cannot get 28 stars without 10th level. Maybe this level was supposed to be unbeatable? ;-) If so - sorry ;-)

Junjo responds:

Thanks for the report.
Did you remember where was a boat created in a bad place?

About the medal, I think it's solved on version 1.03a. If you are seeing a previous version, pleas try to clear your cache and reload. [EDIT: medal problem solved on v1.05]

[Sneaky House Escape]

Solved! Not as hard as it at first seems to be :-) Everything is logical :-)
