HerbieG's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Sequence]

I would strongly argue about some of the levels, because there are really different logics possible.
Oh, the half levels medal is not working.

gamezhero responds:

fixed

[Da Best Gaem]

1. I'm not sure if you shouldn't change the title of the game because of Da Best Gaem by @deathink
2. The scoreboard is not working
3. Change these colours, they really cause a serious pain to the eyes...

9X74 responds:

1. How?
2. Fixed
3. Nah

[Halloween Town Survival]

Nice thing, as always :-) Why I took some stars from you? I must say that in some parts you are indeed getting a bit lazy in making these games ;-) For example when I clicked on a skeleton, the message said "Find something to defeat the slime", come on, using codes from so long time ago? Also when I left the area and went for a walk around, the combat music was still playing (in fact, I personally like it). Oh, and the Hole digging medal is not working.

selfdefiant responds:

Thanks! I missed the slime! I got it all fixed though. :)

[Da Best Gaem]

Great game! I always liked Nyan Cat! :-) Only few things:
1. Sometimes I am not sure what exactly I did to unlock some of the medals;
2. I would definitely recommend changing the behaviour of the game after dying, because if you die on a very advanced level, the still moving background makes 2 things complicated:
a) it makes difficult to change the body/head, because it is simply covering the buttons;
b) after you restart you can lose a life or even 2, because before the previous background disappears, you are sometimes not sure where exactly you are and which obstacles are the current ones.

deathink responds:

You MLG'ed to get the medals!!!

[Idle Not]

Just like it is said below, you just get killed for no reason. You can't change direction without stopping for a moment and sometimes the game considers it as a fail, sometimes not, there is completely no rule in it. I even got killed once when I just touched the exit! What the hell? If you will be (maybe) responding to this, please don't make an easy exit sending me to the walkthrough, but explain to me what's wrong with this game and what am I being killed for and what for am I not? What exactly the game is considering a reason for losing the stage? This is more important thing to say than the description above.

FlyingColours responds:

Sorry if you didn't enjoy the game. It was a silly little game I made when I started out programming, and I've really grown since it. The thing about the game is that it detects movement by checking, at a fixed interval, whether the square you're on is the same square as the one when the game (or the hypothetical demon) last checked. In retrospect, it's not the best mechanism, but yeah, it *was* my first game. ;)

[The cake is a lie!]

Now just what can I say about this game? You used to do some neat, calm stuff... and now This!
A hardcore, irritating, frustrating masterpiece for masochists!
The beginnings were ok, but when I got to level 13... AAARRRGHHH!!! I'mma kill that #@&$#!!! The next one pissing off was the one with 100 coins to collect, but easier.
When I finally beat the game - I had a feeling that I achieved Something.
It has only some minor bugs, like for example on the 100 coins level: on the lower parts of some blocks the wall jump fails to work. Also when designing a game like this pay attention to the fact that different keyboards have different sensitivities, for example mine is a bit oversensitive, so some of the levels were a pain.
But: If you will be making a sequel to this - I'm in :-)

Blobzone responds:

Thanks for playing it although i get that level 13 can be very frustrating. But thats the hardest level anyways so far. Yeah, some platformers will follow since i am working on a couple of projects and platformers are likely to be finished the fastest. So expect more in that direction :)

And yes, the aspect with the different keyboard sensibilities was something i didnt think about.

Cheers.
