HerbieG's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Space Speedster]

I got a score of 3228, but for some reason it didn't register. Good game by the way! An Idea for the future: expand it to a space RPG :-)

DestructionDuck responds:

It registers after some time, just play again and it will be there afterwards.

[Meanwhile Desert]

I admit that I really like the concept. Definitely I will want to play this game further and for a longer period of time. The music fits the desert title well. Also those scrolling texts are a good humor add-on. But there are some bugs you need to deal with:
1. For most of the time I cannot trigger the spells with the keyboard. They worked only once for me.
2. Sometimes the game just crashes, leaving just this message to the player:
An exception has occurred, but exception handling has been disabled in this build. If you are the developer of this content, enable exceptions in your project WebGL player settings to be able to catch the exception or see the stack trace
3. Also sometimes the bullets seem to be just passing through the enemies, not harming them at all.
4. The game seems to be unplayable on Chrome, I get an error at the very beginning, so the only option is Firefox.

Cat-Insomniac-d responds:

Thank you! I try to fix this. Enjoy :)

[Hobbling Hero]

Normally I would praise this game, only complain a little bit about the magic being a bit useless, suggest you to make the game a little bit more Diablo-like but... one thing is unforgivable: the loss of saved games for everybody every single fix you make. You cannot do this. I am taking whole 2 stars away because of this. I have done almost everything in the last quest, but wanted to enjoy the game not freezing constantly as you wrote me that the fix is done. But where is my save? Seriously, I am not going to do it all over again now... Why can't you make the updated version of the game recognize the previous saves? It means that every time you will have to do any change to the game everybody will lose all the progress. This will not make people want to play the game, don't you think? With a feeling of a risk that the next day they will lose all the progress they made? Concluding: bring the previous saves back.

sorry

[VALOR: The Lord and Savior]

This game may be a good idea, but it is sooo unpolished...
1. The sound heard while moving is just super annoying and made me mute the game tab right away;
2. The borders are glitched, you have no idea when you are just leaving the screen or going to another screen;
3. You can even leave the screen and go on a neverending march to the left;
4. What's wrong with the hit detection? I am standing right next to the opponent and missing him?
5. I beat the first guy, went through the door that just opened and... died just after entering the second screen... wth?
6. Do the already earned medals have to pop up every time?
I hope that at the later stage the game gets better...

Newshield responds:

1. The sound heard is actually indicating that this is your character's invincibility animation start. This is explained in the description.

2. The game isn't all glitched. going all the way to the left side of the screen, yeah that is a glitch that can easily be fixed but, you're not suppose to touch the left/right sides of the screen because the area acts as a ring (ex: wrestling ring) Stay on the stage.

3. A Glitch that can be fixed, but, if you take damage when you hit the wall why would you continue to hit it?

4. Another thing explained in the description, you can't bash on any enemies. They have to be hit at a certain time during their animation to defeat them.

5. You hit the wall or a flaming rock, there's no denying that. There's no enemies present after the first encounter with one. You know the first stage is the tutorial.

6. Yes, this is to prevent a glitch that was discovered during testing, when a medal was earned the API unlocked it but, it did not unlock the icon. Second time around it did. This is because I added the medal to unlock more than once to make sure you get what you gained.

Thanks for the review.

[Shifter V4]

This game has that load-without-any-saved-game bug, if you do this you trigger the Ahh and the riches medals to unlock.

Wooooooooooooooooooo responds:

All my games that have a save released before block zappers 4 has this bug. I may fix this game but others games will be fixed before this one. Ill be honest this game is a mess...

[Script Miner]

1. The medals are not working.
2. Since the game seems to take some time you need to implement an option to save progress.
3. There is a desperate need for an ability to pick and relocate already placed turrets.
The game itself has a potential, but you need to develop it in the right way.

VFHolloway responds:

Hi HerbieG,

I've updated the plugins so the medals should work now, and i'll try to include save options in the full game.
