HerbieG's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[StarBright]

A good game, nice graphics, searching for the stars and runes sometimes well hidden is interesting as well as the mini quests for citizens, but some things could be fixed/improved:
1. On the stages with grass/rocks on the ground and near the ropes going down below you can sometimes get stucked like there was an invisible obstackle in front of you, while it is nothing there; it causes a problem when for example you need to run for a longer distance at the moment;
2. The game definitely needs one or two checkpoints on some stages, it is really making a player frustrated when almost gets a star and then for example gets killed on the very last razor just before getting it;
3. Maybe for some players it would be a good thing to allow the "up" button to be assigned to "jump" as well as "z", I personally prefer this type of steering scheme.
Withe these improvements I would definitely give this game the fully deserved 5 stars, keep it up, it can be a really perfect thing :-)

All good points, it was my first game and feedback like this is great for when I do another, definitely learnt a lot! :D

[Aliens Hurry's Home]

A nice platform game with a good combination of intellectual and manual challenge. All the stars are possible to collect, althouth some levels were a bit frustrating for me, but it's not because of any bad programming, design or anything like that, they are just much harder than others ;-) I mean the ones with both razors and moving lasers on a same stage especially :-)
Also all medals are unlockable, but in my case it was somewhat weird:
1. The medals were appearing on my account but
2. They were not showing being unlocked below the game screen and
3. There was no Newgrounds notification that the medals were unlocked, but what is good that the game has its own notifications about the achievements.
Final outcome: almost 5 stars!

[Droids Steal For Me]

Great game for me!
1. Interesting idea;
2. A very good combination of both intellectual and manual challenge, in relation to the first one sometimes you need to think a bit harder to find a sollution;
3. Nice graphics;
4. All stars possible to obtain as well as all the medals, in these matters everything is working perfectly.
I only found one... bug? error? On the level with big safe I accidentally jumped down while standing inside the blue droid and I didn't drop to the ground but even below it, outside the stage. I could even walk below the floor, but I couldn't get back up, so i had to restart the level.
Nevertheless 5 stars for me!
