HerbieG's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sneaky Scuba Escape]

Ok, the game is great as always, the graphics are awesome (I wonder where is this place located? Could you give any info? :-) ). The puzzles when you find their logic and/or find a clue don't seem so difficult anymore. Finding coins is another nice "side-task". Only one thing can be a bit deceiving: I thought that I was supposed to get the scuba medal just after picking it up, while you get it after entering the water. I thouught that something went wrong with the game and reloaded it and I still don't know why when I clicked on "play", not "new" it just kicked me to its very beginning.

selfdefiant responds:

Thanks! The game might seem easy if you have played my other games. You get better and smarter!

[The Clock & The Chaos]

The game is very good but I got one suggestion: make it less CPU-intense, maybe add a quality change button, because now it simply eats my CPU alive and sometimes lags like hell.

morazor responds:

What browser/OS are you using? So I can test it out properly, HTML5 games are very browser dependent

[Crazy Alien Snake]

Hey, this is fun! And using arrows makes it even more challenging :-) The power-ups are good, but as I can see they are being spawned randomly and sometimes I get green barell after green barell and just keeping saying "Gimmie some bombs finally!". I assume that the achievements are not cummulative and you have to earn them in one playthrough? Oh, about the achievements: the first green barell medal and the first tank medal didn't unlock form me.

bioludus responds:

Huge thanks for your feedback, and sorry for the medals bug, now it is fixed!

[Arizona Joe]

I decided to leave it as a review, I already finished two worlds, had over 150 coins three times and still got no medals. Using Firefox, with Ad Block off.

baneguin responds:

That's strange. Are you accessing it through new grounds? Previously it was only from a new grounds url would achievements work. But with the new build, it should work.

[The Utilizer]

What can I say? You did awesomness ;-) Only one suggestion: could you consider placing a "reload medals" button? I already earned some of achievements, but for some reason I did not get any medals.

OlegAntipov responds:

fixed. Try it now.

[Nichi Nichi]

There is one bad thing about this game: sometimes when you land on a bubble you are not bouncing from it, but you just stick to it and cannot move any further.

jupitron responds:

Yeah it sucks. Why this things cant always just... work?
I'll fix it soon! Sorry!

[Roomryder]

The graphics is great, music & sound too, but about the gameplay... I bet that nobody will ever be able to get the 250/500 medals, prove me if I am wrong by getting them to show the others that it is possible - a "little" challenge for the Author :-) It's a matter of a classic dilemma whether the God can create a rock that he could not lift. Did the Developer create a game that he could not beat? ;-)

rawb1t responds:

I thought the same about Flappy Bird. But, at least, I got 244 points, after 1 mio tries, I guess. I think it's possible. But I think it would be nicer as an Android App.

[Pipa's Quest]

I must say I liked this game and this specific double jump is quite nice and useful when you get used to it. I only didn't like the slippy movement on the short platforms. Oh, one thing; I finished this game twice already, the final medal popped out, but did not unlock for me. I am also not present on the score list, why?

jas7229 responds:

Thank you so much for your kind words and taking the time to play through the game (twice!) :D

Hmm, I'm not really sure why the final medal does not unlock/score list post, but I would love to be able to figure it out and fix it! I'm assuming you got all the way to the Congratulations screen where the final score displays? I don't suppose you happened to check the in-game achievements (through the ui button/seperate time played screen) to see if it unlocked there?

Unfortunately, I'm not super familiar with the NG's api stuff so if the medal does pop up but just doesn't register to your account, it means the event was at least triggered in the Stencyl program...and that's about as far as I know. One slight possibility could be that adblock may affect medals/scores if you happen to have that enabled? If not, I guess I'll just have to search for the flaw somewhere along the way and see if I can fix it :P

[StompR]

The game is interesting, you've got to think where to jump and when, but you should work a bit on winds' movement. I am currently waiting for about half of an hour on level 8 for one of the winds to move to be able to proceed, but it just got stucked on one creature and it won't budge. It would be good to be able to quit a life, but with the initial winds' placement. Oh, and I played & finished level 5 on all difficulties and I did not get the Level 5 medal.

xGamesSite responds:

Thanks for the review. I have the winds moving randomly which can be real aggravating. Level 8 is my nemesis. To get the Level 5 medal, you have to kill the bottom right Beast! Almost impossible. I have only done it once. The other medals are much easier to get. Do you have any issues with collecting the other medals?
