NuclearPositron's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Riddle Transfer]

I just miss one thing

Really,
this game is awesome. There's just one little thing missing: a save file. I was stuck, and when I returned to try again, everything was gone :(
I really love the animations in this. Those are great, much better then what i would expect in a game. Also, I love the music. It fits the theme well.

Overall,
just missing the save option
9/10
5/5

JonBro responds:

I do have an automatic 'save point' but it's near the end of the game because I'm weird.

I'll see what I can do. Thanks!

[Gametest]

Pretty bad.

This game has some terrible issues.
At first, there's the engine. The hitTest is terrible. Sometimes I stop way before a wall, while at other times, i'm going through the wall. Besides that i would die while I was sure I didn't even hit the enemy, (aka purple box). To start off, you need to fix that. The engine is basically the whole playing experience, which has to be good. Just search some tutorials on the interwebs, or ask people for help at the forums.
The second point I want to mention is the very very long hallways. The hallways are just too long for the speed that the character has, especially when it's just a hallway without obstacles (which get better as the game pror\gresses).
And the last thing I want to say, is the graphics. Not the most important to me, especially when it's a test. But when you release a final version of this, fix that too.

Hope this helped,
You mentioned it is a test. What are you testing out?

yeah.. there is something about this I'm not sure of.. cuz I got some help with the whole part of how the player hit's the "level".. there is something that I haven't figured out (YET;P), that makes the players "hitbox" hit a little outside of the player.. and that really sucks.. and yeah.. I know what you mean.. if the engine sucks, it sucks balls to play it....
I'll get it checked out on some forum or smthn soon :)
yeah!!!! I agree... the hallways can be a bit long.. especially in the beginning when there is no real dangers.. working on that now! ;* Ty for letting me on! :D

yeah, working on the graphics, and will make a good friend of mine do them for me :))

It did help, quite a lot actually! :DD <33 peace and love for that! :D

well.. I've never uploaded anything to newgrounds before.. (or I think I tried maybe 4-5 yrs ago..) so I wanna see how things work.. with the fullscreen, and some other aspects of the uploading before I upload anything too serious, it suck when a game fails because of a bad upload technique or other technical aspects :))

thanks again! really helpful =))

edit: */ hehe.. I think I know why the hitbox seems even worse here.. cuz my game played on the mac.. is a "fullscreen mac game.. and I think it's a bit to big to be resized this much.. played it a couple of times on the site now, and I'm too a bit annoyed by hitting the pinkies without me seemingly hitting them :// need to convert it and make it ready for newgrounds sizing ;PPP /*

["Shoot Em Up"]

Not great

This game isn't terrible, but it isn't great either.

The graphics looked fine. I would make an animation though, when you shoot the targets.

Your sound effect sounds fine too, but it has to be on time. Now the sound plays about one second later, which isn't good.

Also the ending screen isn't good. You could at least put Game over on a single line.

Overall:
4/10
2/5

The idea for a animation when you shoot the targets is a good idea I will work on that. I am aware that the sound is off and plan on fixing that soon but cant at the moment as I have big projects going in school and work. And unless the game is glitching the end screen does say Game Over than under that a clickable button play again! Thank you very much for you response.
