HerbieG's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[High Classic Block Breaker]

I'm not sure if it is only my computer, but the way in which the paddle is moving makes me have a feeling that it is somewhat... glued to the ground, responds too slowly, with a delay. I remember playing good old lbreakout for example and in that game I had a perfect control over the paddle and even the fastest balls were not a problem.

Mwape123 responds:

Sorry about that, perhaps could be newgrounds server or your computer because the game was tested months ago on low end computer of resolution 720px and Ram of 2gb, it was running smoothly and everything was working accordingly to the expectations, but I'll try to to upload the game just hoping it won't affect others leaderboard.

You may check the video on our Instagram @g_dev_journey, so that you could see how it is running.

Thank you for spotting that out, we will do our best to optimize the game for you.

[Haccer]

Cool project, but:
1. The energy loss seems a bit too fast, especially when you need to clear some bombs in front of you;
2. Speaking of bombs: the game can put you in front of a barrage of bombs that simply cannot be passed without getting yourself killed;
3. It's a bit inconsistent when the board rotates.
Did you actually manage to reach depth 300?

AnderssonKev responds:

Thank you!

1. I can tweak the energy loss a bit.
2. You'd think so but you can actually get past all obstacles. A tip would be to activate one bomb and step aside, then when the other ones are triggered you just move to where the destroyed one was.
3. The board should rotate once you reach 3-4 tiles to the side (I think)

300 is difficult... might be too tough, I'm thinking about making it a little easier to get into.
Thanks for your feedback!

[Peter the Ant RELOADED]

Not bad... massacre ;-) It only lags a bit on Firefox, including cursor movement.

[Psycho Spoon Demo]

Good game! But you got a nasty bug in it: you can basically repeat the easier levels until you get 24 sponges in total to get the medal. Apparently the game does not save properly the amount of finished levels and sponges collected.

ShackoCheese responds:

Thanks for the feedback! We are trying to solve this issue/exploit. The update will be out as soon as we can manege. (probably not in Valve time)

[enCount Too]

I think I'm going to like it. 2 things though: the screen is too big and I would prefer to have the game mouse-controlled. Also for some weird reason pressing enter sometimes doesn't work even if I pick the right answer.

UnevenPrankster responds:

I can reduce a little the screen soon.
EDIT: Reduced the screen size. Now its about the usual you'd see on Newgrounds.

[Scratch Fusion - Kamella boss fight]

Looks like you forgot to add a crucial thing: a restart button ;-)

And few notes:
1. One thing is bad: the game should not start on its own, because every time I want to play it I need to click on the screen first to make the controls responsive, losing some health and initiative.
2. Having for example z-x-c keys to use would be much better, because holding a left hand over space+z+f isn't very convenient.
3. At the moment when you are being pushed to the border, partally out of the screen, you cannot shoot.

[AntiGravity]

Got stuck on stage 3, those flying spikes are not giving me much chance with the current mechanics. Oh, you could add arrow keys controls as well.

KahoBit responds:

ok in next update i add this

[Golf over it EXTRA HARD]

Getting over it, but as a golf game, do I get it right? Interesting idea!

Coolduderon responds:

Actually there’s an actual game called golfing over it with Alva majo I took inspiration from that

[Voltage]

Honestly - not bad. The only bad thing is that if JME10135 reached over 50 000 points and yet did not get a ranking higher than B, then it is going into absurd values. Or are those higher medals even working? Keep in mind that if the required scores will be too high you are risking that the game may disconnect from NG before anybody even reaches that point.
