HerbieG's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Psycho Spoon Demo]

Good game! But you got a nasty bug in it: you can basically repeat the easier levels until you get 24 sponges in total to get the medal. Apparently the game does not save properly the amount of finished levels and sponges collected.

ShackoCheese responds:

Thanks for the feedback! We are trying to solve this issue/exploit. The update will be out as soon as we can manege. (probably not in Valve time)

[enCount Too]

I think I'm going to like it. 2 things though: the screen is too big and I would prefer to have the game mouse-controlled. Also for some weird reason pressing enter sometimes doesn't work even if I pick the right answer.

UnevenPrankster responds:

I can reduce a little the screen soon.
EDIT: Reduced the screen size. Now its about the usual you'd see on Newgrounds.

[AntiGravity]

Got stuck on stage 3, those flying spikes are not giving me much chance with the current mechanics. Oh, you could add arrow keys controls as well.

KahoBit responds:

ok in next update i add this

[Golf over it EXTRA HARD]

Getting over it, but as a golf game, do I get it right? Interesting idea!

Coolduderon responds:

Actually there’s an actual game called golfing over it with Alva majo I took inspiration from that

[Faragax]

I reached over 1000 points, but the game gave me only the first medal.

PS

Today I once again played the game, reached 1000, yet the game gave me only the second medal. I needed a third attempt to finally get the third one. Also while playing I clicked on "High Scores", button, but the tab did not switch which means that your game may be sending excessive requests to Newgrounds API.

The 10000 points medal may not be possible to obtain, because at this pace the game will likely disconnect from NG at that point unless you prevent that from happening.

Stopmations21 responds:

Hi, The problem is from a game engine extension
It is not very well programmed and that is why it gives these errors (The extension connects the game with newgrounds). I've been looking for a better programmed extension and I'm still at it

Thanks
-The game engine is GamemakerStudio-

[Rusty Plane]

The game definitely has a potential, isn't even that difficult, but the main problem is that the camera view from the back is very misleading and when you switch to the cockpit view you can barely see anything. Additionally sometimes you may be sure that you collected a gem, while you did not. Maybe add an indicator for this? Also the altitude meter would be useful. As for completing the story: maybe consider some checkpoints?

Gleb-C responds:

Thanks for the feedback. I will definitely take your comment into account when I make the next update.

[Tom Fulp Clicker]

You must have some kind of an error in your code, because medals 2 and 3 unlocked for me in the very same moment when I received the second secret medal. Oh - it may matter as well: the "fulp wait" indicator in the menu appears probably too late, after you activate Tankman.

gavmcool responds:

just patched the medal issue hopefully

[Ringwaves]

Looks interesting, good to see you with another game, but I refuse to go further with it without being able to turn off that annoying flickering of the screen. It can really make the eyes hurt. Un-checking the "glow" setting does not change anything.

Jordio94 responds:

Thanks for trying it and letting me know. Been going back and forth on the glow, but if it feels like it's burning your eyes out, it definitely needs reducing. Got to keep people's eyes healthy!

[19 - Forty Hell V0.2]

The screen is a bit too high. And you need to add an option to turn off the particle effects/background, because the lag is just tremendous.

GraeBush responds:

Thank you for your feedback. Thanks to your advice, I have updated the game and added the ability to toggle this on/off in the options

[AstroJump]

1. Lower the screen, I had to ctrl- 3 times before being able to see the whole stage,
2. It reminds me of this game: https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/640146 but this one had much more features. Maybe you could get inspired by it?

iHardScore responds:

Thanks for the feedback!

1. Just changed the embed size to 75% the original, so now it should fit any screen :)

2. Since it was made for a game jam, The game definitely doesn't have as much content as we had originally planned. But we will definitely use that game for inspiration for a post-jam update.
