Mushman's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[CinderSnake]

Been done quite a few times before

I got up to 280 score but I got really bored. Try adding a cool feture to your game. The music is alright but there's better. Re-disign your game after you get the know-how to make it more entertaining.

CinderfootProduction responds:

I'll be sure to do that. Thanks for the review.

Good but needs improvment

There are definatly quite a few thing you could improve about a game like this.
1 Upgrade your sprites. much too old and I want some new ones.
2 Better Action Script. I could be patialy in walls before dying. But you needed to to beat the game so leave it for now.
3 Better backgrounds. I got bored of seeing black and the oustside backgroun was bad.
4 More checkppoints. I kept dying on Level 6 or 7. but I got better.
5 A few features. Games like this are boring unless you have a few features. You think them up. You're the game maker.
Score 4/10 Explanation - Thinking about protecting but no 100% sure. Get a 5 for definate protection.

RyuXKen responds:

k thanx for your input, ill look into changing it!

Needs more gameplay

I "beat" it in less than one minute. I only killed one spearman and the rest fell of the cliff. Collected all the stuff. needs a lot of improvment. But keep trying. I want to see the next and better version. I s'pose the message is good but don't over push it. Keep it up!

Kialom-box responds:

Sounds good to me!

[Newgrounds Quiz!]

Another Good Quiz

Like the last one, good job. Very interestion. Graphics wern't so good but they were alright. I couldn't hear the sound ('cause the computers don't have speakers) so I just gave you a 5 on that. Looking forward to the next one.

Billy-Bean responds:

Thanks! Sorry about the last of graphics, I'm not the most talented person in that area. I'm currently working on another quiz, should be done in a few days.

What was wrong with the first one?

This is a really good idea. I played the first on but couldn't be bothered finishing it. Make another one. They're real good.

HomerDough responds:

I'm glad you liked it

[Fan Game 0.3]

Another Good Version

OK. Very good. I beat the game but with only 5 deaths and 6 minutes and 40 seconds. I recognised this was mainly because you got rid of fan death. Though it was annoying it kept the deaths up and the gameplay with that. Thanks for using my idea of the status bars and good thought with the auto-fail (even though I didn't use it) a pause button would be good and more levels and a level select after you beat the game. Bugs. If you try hard enough you can push the critters into the wall. That's only one. Good thing you fixed the bug where you get stuck in corners. V0.4 will be better yet I'd say. Keep up the good work!

LuckyLollipopLad responds:

Thanks for the feedback re: final stats.

Not sure if you're trying to say it's too easy now or not.

I was kinda considering having difficulty levels - hard: fandeath turned on, normal: like here. Maybe easy - fan has a smaller range and maybe critters stay in the portal?

But I think it might overcomplicate the game and I think if you died 5 times, that's still a fair bit for 7 levels.

I want to shift the focus elsewhere.

Status bar - thank you for caring enough to suggest it.
Pause button - I didn't see any point before as all previous levels could be completed in around 10s. But with the way the levels are going (like the last one of this v) I may put one in.

Next version will hopefully warrant a version number than 0.4. Maybe more like 0.47 ;-)

Bugs will hopefully be hunted down and eliminated. Check my author's comments for all I'm gonna do.

Glad you're enjoying 'em.

Thanks for the hyper-awesome review!

Stay funky!

[Fan Game 0.2]

Great Work!

Great work. Here are a few ideas, comments and bugs.
I got up to Level 6 and beat it. Well I should've. But the game wouldn't let me proceed to the last level. I had all of the critters in the protal and it wouldn't let me pass. This is a big bug you need to fix. Another bug is that the fan keeps going when you press the replay button. This moves the critter (sometimes into awkward / deadly positions) and sometimes make you kill a critter that was there. Plus it's pretty hard to get them out of the corners. Fix please.
Now to some ideas. How about you can add a status bar a the top / side / corner of the screen showing the time deaths and level. And put the level number on the death screen. Make the portal / blue circle look bigger than it really is so then you can get the critters in there and if you need to, re-position them. Also put the time in minutes : seconds. No really big ideas.
Now comments. By the time I "finished" level 6 I had 54 deaths and had spent 575 seconds (9 minutes and 35 seconds) on the game. Good gameplay. I was playing Fan Game V0.1 yesterday and couldn't get past the 1st level (mainly because you put too many critters in too early) and blammed it. Yeah. But now you've upgraded it and it's much better. So keep up the good work. I'm now waiting for V0.3 tomorow.

LuckyLollipopLad responds:

Your review is awesome. Basically as good as it can get. Thanks so much.

level 6 - I noticed this bug when I uploaded. Wasn't sure what to do as I couldn't sort it (it works at a different place in the timeline... it's wierd). I'll have a quick go again at working out the problem tonight. If I can't work it out, I'll just delete it.

Replay button - yeah. That was a design oversight. I'll make it so you get the pointer when you win/lose.

Hard to get out the corners - I will shrink the play-field to fix this.

Status bar - maybe. I'll try and fit it in for v1 anyway.

" level number on the death screen" - will do.

"Make the portal / blue circle look bigger than it really is so then you can get the critters in there and if you need to, re-position them." Not sure what you mean. If it looked bigger than it really was, folk'd get annoyed as it'd look like they should win when they hadn't. You've still got enough room to reposition them a bit anyway.

" put the time in minutes : seconds" Will do. I need to sort out other timer problems first though. (Seconds keep increasing, but don't keep updating, if you see what I mean.)

"No really big ideas." That's fine. Your ideas, specially the comments about tricky corners, were useful and excellent.

Beauty is in the details. ;-)

Glad you found this a big improvement. I didn't release a new version, mainly because I was away. Also, I'm slightly worried about pissing folk off by releasing similar things too often. I'll probably make it tonight though.

Thanks again for the awesome review.

Stay funky!
