[Crazy Pong 2.0]

You know...

Well, all I can say is, you know what'd be good in this game?

Beatable AI...

[Difficult to kill]

Wow...

I don't think this game will be hard to kill at all, it's awful... 0_o

It doesn't even look finished... Lol.

Blam material definetly.

[Toss the Turtle]

Good game.

Usually games like this don't have anything to keep them driving, I found that this one did, with the shop and the amount of upgrades avaliable it kept me wanting to play to get even further.

When I saw the name in the portal entries I thought it would something stupid, but I was wrong and I helped save this submission. :) :P

Very fun game, one of my favourite ones on NewGrounds so far!

[Pong engine test]

Only a few things.

Hey, I think over all this is a good engine for the classic game of Pong and its very much alike the original, my only main concersn with this would be the fact that the paddles move quite slowly and sometimes I couldn't reach the ball in time unless I planned ahead or guessed where it was going to go to. Maybe either speeding them up just a little bit and possibly adding mouse control over the paddles would be a nice option? The only problem I think then would be that it might be too easy, but that may be good for people who (not trying to be too offensive here) are so stupidly bad at the game need an easier option of playing. The only other thing would be that at one moment (I'm really unlucky >.<) I hit the ball past the enemy paddle and it still bounced back at me, it wasn't too far from him but it definetly went past! Could possibly be a thing to look at? Anyway, nice concept of it and I hope you could make something more fun and origonal out of it, that would be a good start to success!

Look over those points I've mentioned and see if you get any luck making them better, then maybe change it from Pong to one of your own origonal games and make it really catchy and addictive to play.

Good job on this, but you'll be lucky if it gets past submission with it just being a simple engine, if it does though, you definetly deserve it because I think you could make something really good out of the engine and I really hope that you choose to.

}{B34T1N}{ - Good luck!

[Hot Air Baboon]

Doesn't really work how it should.

I don't think it really works how it should, when I shoot at people they seem pretty much impossible to kill and also the reticule will only be there if i have my mouse pointer actually next to my character.

These are the only two bugs i found within the game as I couldn't carry on playing after i found these because it was too awkward to play (because of the bugs)

Try fixing the bugs and re-submitting and make sure to check the game before submitting!

JordanBrown responds:

I'll make the firing arc line darker. Originally I had it darker - but I was getting complaints that it was too obtrusive to the gameplay, so I made it lighter. I'll see if I can find a happy medium so it will be clearer where you can/can't shoot.

Thanks for the feedback, although I don't think they're bugs - more balancing issues. I have play-tested it a fair bit, and I've found the people are a good difficulty. You're not supposed to be able to kill everything on screen (or even everybody), that's what part of the fun is. I'll see what I can do about balancing though!

Fairly Good

Hey there, this game is fun, but unfortunately the fun only lasts a short amount of time, there needs to be more motivation to this game, what am I truly achieving as I play this? In my own opinion, I feel I am achieving nothing.

The ways to solve this problem?

1. Add levels to the game
2. Maybe add some challenges?
3. Unlockables!

That's the first half to this review done with then, lets move on.

I think that the gameplay for this is acceptable, but could have some work done to it, I don't think that blocks you can't place should appear at all, games SHOULDN'T be unfair unless its something like The Unfair Platformer created by Eggy where it is supposed to be unfair, but on the small chance of a block that you cannot possibly place at all appears {which did in fact happen to me}, this is a very unfortunate and unfair circumstance, maybe one of the main problems to fix with the gameplay.

Overall this game is fun but reffering back to what I mentioned before, only for a short amount of time, then Imust stop playing.

I hope you find this review interesting and perhaps reply, I would like to hear your opinion on my thoughts.

Thank you for taking the time to read.

[Newgrounds in a Box]

Wow

This is amazing, such a great idea too, love it. =) 10/10

[The Miles Game]

Very nice!

Hey, this was actually a good game, I thought it was going to be something stupid when I saw the title, but it wasn't! I think all that it needs now is levels and make the cat walk faster, and introduce enemies just before the cats butt. (good idea instead of tunnels lol)
Keep it up, you have a nice game engine here.

braedonvogel responds:

Thanks! I'm new to flash so it was quite a challenge. I'll be working on some more levels though. Thanks for the suggestions.

[WHACKA Space Mole]

Rubbish

This was absoloute rubbish, you should've just stuck with the original whack a mole system rather than trying to create your own because with trying to create your own, you just made the game even more irritating and rubbish, you were very unsuccesful here.

MentaLeak responds:

i guess i should have made another pong lol, but im happy you included the word irritating cause i like being irritating but its difficult to do and still have even the slightest bit of success BTW i am kinda srry for this i just never gave up on this one and my next project will be a F*** load better

[Ask The Clocks]

It was good :)

I quite like this, it was very funny some of the answers, when you ask them your own question they only have 4 answers, am i right? you did a nice job, but one problem, the preset questions for knotts clock have no subtitles on the preset questions, maybe you could fix that because the music made it hard to hear him sometimes :) I voted 5 anyway, i hope it makes it through the portal, best of luck, if it does i would try to submit this to the clock crew category for you and possibly gadget games ;)

BepsiWay responds:

8 random answers for each clock. It's just hard to get them all. Just keep clicking submit for each one until you get all 8 answers.
