HerbieG's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[GUI Game]

A great, intelligent thing, you've got to really think how to solve it. I got to the end of this game but not without moments of frustration ;-) For me some of the levels were a bit a matter of luck. But it definitely could have even more levels or even a sequel :-)

AthleticDesign responds:

Great to hear that someone made it all the way! Originally I planed to have 50-100 levels but the game went into a long hiatus. Two weeks ago I decided to complete the game but make it much smaller and then hopefully make a second part depending on the feedback and reception on the first one.

[Color Runner]

The game is interesting, but very, very unclear, especially when it comes to medals, that's jus my opinion. My thoughts:
1. In "how to play" there is a suggestion that if I will play fast enough I will get more time. Either I am still too slow or it doesn't work because I didn't notice any time bonuses or something.
2. What is the relation between the scores in the game and the points on Newgrounds highscore list? By the way, there is no spoon I mean the list for Fast 50 or Dash, or maybe it is the list in the game but if it is then how do I know if these are my best scores or is it a summary list? If the latter, then which score is mine? There is no highlight of the latest score.
3. Analysing for example the 500 Runner medal, what does it mean that I have to score 500 in infinite? How players should understand that?
4. The number one medals: again - not understandable, number one on a highscore list?
The game definitely needs some upgrades and more explanation, but I can say it is an interesting thing to play.

TheeSeaverShow responds:

Ill make the medals more clear...
For the time, if you get 20 /40/60.. etc in infinite mode, 10 more seconds is added to the clock so your can continue. (Each 20 tiles you click, 10 seconds will be added )

The highscores for 50 and 100 are not currently working because newgrounds does not allow for already formatted scores. The score are saves by sec/decimal, newgrounds doesnt allow for this. i am trying to rework the code to use milliseconds so i can incorporate highscores for all mode, but for now only the infinite mode has a scoreboard on the site, for the other 2 modes, scores are within the game.

Thank you for your feedback, I may be PMing you when i rework it for a second opinion and some more suggestions. But thank you HerbieG for taking the time to review this.

[ODISEA]

Interesting game and not so easy one, still trying to solve it. At the moment all seemed logical - and it was, I've got still some "green lights" left. Some thoughts:
1. The names of items display would be useful;
2. I don't know if it was intended - I cannot enter the higher floor ventilation shaft after unscrewing it, maybe that's why I'm a bit stucked now.

Axelmadness responds:

1) maybe update the game with things with names.

2) You can not get there because a fall
xD tranki the game goes to 100% then you will know what I say to you that you can not get in there. =)

[EndlessPong]

What can I say? Classic ;-) Just two things:
1. Once when I hit the ball in the way in which it touched the panel corner to corner the game freezed;
2. Maybe adding a mouse control?

DupDev responds:

Thanks for your review!
I added mouse control and fixed that bug :) Now there should be no more bugs included.

[GARDINI]

Generally a great job! Enjoyable, fully playable, you can even "create" interesting attack actions while jumping, maybe it's not Tekken or something like that, but it's still cool ;-) Only two remarks:
1. Why there is no pause button in the game?
2. A bit annoying is the fact that every time you die you have to start from the beginning.

rhys510 responds:

space bar to pause but its a debug pause :P

and thanks :D
