ProfessorFlash's game Reviews on Newgrounds

pretty fun

It was pretty fun. I would have preferred that you could flip yourself over by pressing the up arrow key or something because sometimes you could drive the ball next a wall and you couldn't get it out. But at least there was the restart option, so it's not an actual problem.

Overall pretty fun game. A bit short perhaps, but since there's the highscores I could get back to this and try to beat the guy who's #1... (ye, at the time of writing I'm #2 :P).

tudway responds:

i hadn't thought about the flip functionality, i suppose it's a good idea and i might include it for the sequel.
The guy whose currently number one (at the time of posting) was one of my beta testers, so he might be hard to beat!

great

Awesome graphics I must say. I love your style. The gameplay was quite fun because the rabbits looked so cute and made funny sounds. Great graphics enhance the gameplay nicely.

What I would like to see is that you add a highscores list. Games that require you to do something repetitive for points won't live very long without highscores list. Also the ranks were a bit unclear if they meant you are good or bad; Lucky rabbits foot collector? :)

Good job with the game.

okay

The enemies made no sense. The obvious ones were the spikeball and the question mark, but pretty much everything else made no sense. Half of the time I didn't know why I was getting hurt, or how could I defeat the enemies. Good example the bomb in the cave levels, what's up with that?

It was alright game, but it seems like you made it for yourself. You need to explain us newbies what the hell is happening on the screen :P.

blue-mess responds:

Haha. The idea was that you collect the spiritual orbs in one level to progress into the next level of the stage. Most of the enemies are simply there for you to dodge, rather than to kill. The whole thing about the bomb was that you diffuse it before it explodes

Ok, next time I'll try and make the objective more clear. In actual fact I really just made it to see how polished I could make something ;) Thanks for the review

Doesnt work

At the menu the game freezes. I get the error message that a script is making flash player run slow and do I want to abort the script. After that the game doesn't work. The menu buttons do nothing.

Test your games before submitting. Dumbass.

RowlandRose responds:

Thank you for the feedback, even if a little harsh. I have tested this game and I have never had this happen. I will try to figure out why that would happen to you.

[Serpentum]

well

The game looked good. The music was alright too. Gameplay was a bit confusing. The game didn't last very long and there was little to none skill involved. It all seemed a bit random.

Also what's the point in submitting your score to a highscores list when you never get to see the list? So you don't know if your score was good or bad. There's no link to the highscores list. Play more games, only opens the uberfungames site, and I didn't find the list anywhere there either.

LesPaulPlayer responds:

Im sorry about the scores. For some strange reason, the scores don't work on newgrounds. You'll have to play on uberfungames.com if you want to submit scores until i figure this out.

good platformer

It was basic good platformer game. Nothing wrong with it and nothing spectacular either.
You might want to use shapeflag hitTest with the enemies because now you are hitTesting the bounding boxes and that causes you to die even when you are not visibly hitting the enemy.
Overall this was fun to play. Good job.

ThomSip responds:

mwah, the bounding boxes are fine if you ask me ;)

and glad you liked it :3

[Compulse]

good

Fun game. I liked the relaxing music and the graphis were simple but good. Reading a little of the other reviews I see I wasn't the only one who totally shattered the 'pro scores'. I felt quite good about myself after I went almost in every level way way lower than the pro score. Was that your intension in setting the pro scores so easy to beat? :)

What I think this game is missing is highscores. It was fun playing but the satisfaction from beating the levels with ease is minimal compared to knowing that you beat other people. It left me a bit empty after beating the game. I totally dominated the game but no-one will ever know :P (unless you are reading this review and believe me :)).

jmtb02 responds:

Your own self pride will be enough :). I am not so much a fan of high score lists, but I'll consider it.

[Dice Gen.]

ehm

What am I missing here? :P

You basicly just have the crappy interface and you use the random() command :P. I submit this to the blam-collection.

Celtic-games responds:

Actually it's not the Math.random (); command, but another I got from another developper.
Well, I suppose it's the same.
And as I said in the response above, it's about releasing it, sharing. Not just making.
Of course making things helps you understand and be more accurate, but that's only some part of the work.

[Loboloon]

bad

I don't get what's the point of the game. I know how I can make the ball move. Then what? Maybe you win by moving the ball to that grey-spinning-shit? Apparently no. So what the fuck do you do in this game? "Reach the roof??" Where in the fuck is "the roof"? Some REAL instructions would have been great.

You pissed me off with this shit and that's why I'm giving you a zero.

jayc06 responds:

sorry you didn't like it. this is my 2nd game, so i still have to learn. still thanks for the crap review..

[SuperTank]

it's good but

This game is seriously lacking in sounds/music.

Sounds, well, there are practically none. Why not? Make a sound when you use those rocket boosters to jump. Make a sound when you land, because you are not a feather but a badass tank. Make a sound when you shoot, etc. etc. Sounds enchance the gaming experience.

Music, just one tune throughout the game. Not to mention I didn't like this tune very much. Sure it fits somehow, but it could be a lot better. Also, there is a badass boss coming out, and you keep playing this same tune. Like you are in the elevator waiting to reach your floor. Play some cool battle tune when a boss comes. It spices up the situation "hey this is serious shit" when you hear that battle music.

The game was pretty easy and short. Also you have unlimited lives and you get to pick off pretty much where you left off. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but you should have worked it in the gameplay, made the levels a bit harder.

It wasn't spectacular, but it was overall good.

Ansel responds:

Thanks for your critique. I thought that in a fairly slow-paced game like this, sound effects, unless there're a lot of them, might sound out f place and detract from the overall experience :/ Also, the music was composed specifically for this game by Marcus Tyr, and I think, once again, that it fits with the general mood very well.
