HerbieG's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ninja Defense]

The game itself is great, awesome & much more! But I found some-I think-bugs in it.
1. Some upgrades seem to be disappearing, for example I have bought the loot II upgrade twice already, and now it still looks like the other ones that haven't been bought;
2. Sometimes I was finishing a level with 2 stars and the game gave me only 1 upgrade star;
3. One time something weird happened to me during a game, when the bought shrunken tower... just vanished!
Anyway I'm not giving up and aiming for finishing the game!

Junjo responds:

Hi HerbieG, I'm glad you like the game, thanks for your words.
About "losing" loot II upgrade, probably was when a survival level appeared and you lost the stars of the level.
The number of stars for upgrades should be allways the sum of all the stars you see at map screen (from levels and achievements).
About that vanished tower... that indeed looks like a bug, I'll take a look at the code.
Have fun!

[Tangerine Tycoon]

The game is great, with all its functions it has an enormous potential in comparison to others.
But I have to write about one thing, since nobody mentioned that. Sometimes when I load the game the screen just flickers like hell, I can see 10 000 000 000 tangerines in the top right corner and I cannot do anything, click, press any key etc. It can be some kind of a bug.

GazThomas responds:

This is happening some times but not others? I haven't been able to replicate it but I'll look for any reason it could happen.

[Idle Mining Co.]

Iime when I see an idle game with so good additional graphics! Maybe there aren't many options for upgrades, but it doesn't decrease the quality of the game. One suggestion: add medals if you can and you will get a frontpaged masterpiece! :-)

GroZZleR responds:

I'll make sure the artist hears your kind words. I'll take a look into adding medals.

[Legend of the Iron King]

The movement definitely needs to be changed, you cannot move with arrow keys and clicking all the time just to get minimum move... somewhat irritating after a while. There is also no hardness on the map, you can as well go directly down to the town to the left and go up the hills.
Oh, these mineral/crystal fields and the tank remind me the very first Red Alert, is it taken from this game?

FavouriteBear responds:

How long did you play it for?
It's all original material.

[Spread the Virus]

A goog idea for a game, but it would be better if the steering was improved, currently it looks not like moving around but rather like driving a car.

szymekk3 responds:

Thank you for that constructive feedback!

[IndeiJumps]

A game with a potential, but one thing is irritating: the movement. You have a feeling that you're on the Moon or something. Also the person ypu control reacts way too slowly. There is also one illogical thing: when just passing by the platform with the rising arrows and not walking/jumping on it, why am I being hit by them?

8o8inSquares responds:

Thank you for your review, the game had to work actually faster, but I guess the graphics are too heavy for flash to handle.. I am gonna do something with that on the full version.
About the arrow part, I know what are you talking about. It's because the collision box of the arrow is still touching the collision box of the player. No matter what platform are you standing. But I will think what I can do about that so it wont be "illogical".
Thanks again for the feedback! :)

[Sheep Quest]

Unfortunately the game is not loading, I see only the "loading" screen and nothing is happening. Besides, it seems like the game is wider than the screen, because from the words "Sheep Quest" I can see only half of h, eep and "Que".

NewKrok responds:

Hi, thank you for your feedback, we checked found the problem.
We are working on the solution. In the meantime you can play it from other browsers except chrome.

[Viking Warfare]

The game itself is great! My new favourite! It successfully stole few hours from me ;-) It is probably one of the hardest if not the harder defense games I have ever played. But now let's get professional now and write a review ;-) or rather some remarks:
1. The tutorial and waves information "windows" sometimes are covering the places where you could or at the moment would need to place a building, you simply cannot see where you can place something because of the writings;
2. The same about the name of the sponsor in the top right corner;
3 The boat sometimes is being created in places from which you cannot move it, or even on land;
4. The last but definitely not least, since it is most irritating: I beat the 10th level, and:
a) it is not shown on the highscore board;
b) I did not receive the medal (the Defender one).
A proof that I did it? The number of stars. You cannot get 28 stars without 10th level. Maybe this level was supposed to be unbeatable? ;-) If so - sorry ;-)

Junjo responds:

Thanks for the report.
Did you remember where was a boat created in a bad place?

About the medal, I think it's solved on version 1.03a. If you are seeing a previous version, pleas try to clear your cache and reload. [EDIT: medal problem solved on v1.05]

[Give up 1]

The game is great and frustrating as well, I got to level 47 and how am I suppose to click on that moving one?

BlahBlah508 responds:

Try this, when it gets to the middle, release the click within 0.3 seconds. There is 75% you will catch that moving one, if you're lucky.
