Hi5er's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Thr INSANE Quiz]

Well...

Its all very good if you want to make a tribute to the impossible quiz... But to rip off Splapp's questions is not cool. :l

Most tributes do the same thing... They completely copy the impossible quiz but because they're not a very good animator/art designer its just a version of the impossible quiz thats not very good. In this case you have done the same thing.

It wont be a decent animation unless you think up your own ideas and layout. What you need to do is take this off newgrounds, get out a note pad and write out 50 questions that are orginal... Then actually spend time creating the layout.

Then you might have yourself a half decent game.

SAVED DATA???

It didn't ever save my progress and after trying 3 times to complete it and then getting interupted I couldnt be bothered as I had to start from scratch constantly...

But aside that I thought it was an excellent game. Tidy graphics, very unique gameplay and I had a great time playing it...

well done :]

nice job guys ^^

A good game with smooth animation and a nice amount of other things you could do apart from just the main game! Smashing.

Also I liked the fact that you included the little introduction of you "making" the game, twas funny :P

But have you seen the high-score table for the mian game? DAn Roche xD what a loser! xD

[Mini Game Madness Preview]

In short - Its very good (6.5)

You got yourself a nice game!

however, IMO there are a couple things that should be changed so you get the most out of it...

1) Personally I dont think that the backgrounds worked too well... maybe you should try making the actual mini games fill the screen and then a transition going to the next 1 and so on?

2) Although many people might make the link between this and Grid 16, four second fury in concept, the fact that you have used new ideas and minigame makes this original... Just be careful when updating not too make it too similar or people who don't understand tributes might have a go at you :l

3) Make it more obvious that the speed is changing similar to what grid 16 does, it comes up and tells you... just have some sort of message...

4) I dont think the math game works properly...
on 2 occasions all 3 answers were right... :l Have a look at the code maybe? Try using if statements on the first box saying a random number then make box 2 look at box 1 and say if "box1"=true (true = correct answer) then display random number and the same for third box. If false then right answer displayed etc... I'm not too sure on the code here xD

5) Make changing backgrounds easier, I had no time to click the arrows make the keyboard numbers change the BG's eg. 1 = background 1 etc.

6) Music options and mutes

7) Try upgrading the graphics on the games a lil

8) on the laser game make the lasers stay there after they have been shot so it makes it devilishly hard xD

At least consider making these changes and you may improve your game a lot ^^

I would be happy to help with coding and art work if you wouldn't mind mentioning my name in the credits... :D

Drop me a line if you want to on - [e-mail]

hope this helps and good luck ^^

Aldarnc responds:

Hey, glad you liked it!

I tried having a little animation or something each time you won but it got kind of annoying and i couldn't get it to look v good. Same thing about backgrounds i'm not an artist so i can't really draw anything that would look nice.

I know about the math game but i don't really see why it matters if some are the same.. its more complicated than using a few if statements but i'll take a look at it anyway.

Good idea about changing backgrounds! There are already mute buttons for music and sound fx (see instructions / HUD). The lasers stay longer on the laser game as you get to higher speeds.

I added you to msn but i haven't seen you come online yet, mine is [e-mail] if you wanna add me.

[Blockles]

nice game :]

I find it weird how players just randomly get game over though...

are they hackers and you have an anti hack system?

do they turn off their comps in frustration? lol who knows?

ah well that aside its a good game...

I do have 1 more question though, what are the red rubies for?

[Pico & Pals]

lol

well it was alright up until dad turned into a giant coz then none of your attacks could harm him... So aside from being pixely graphics, impossible to beat (on my computer anyway...) and completely repetative its a job well done :l

Good points:
- the intro was kinda nice :P
- some funny attacks but no special moves or combos...

the problem is you have got a really basic game :l

its like dad and me just toned down which isnt fantastic :l

better luck on your future works.

El-Presidente responds:

you hit dad closer to his center...it would be too easy if you could just hit his rock-hard abs...instead you have to hit him where it hurts.

[A One Level Game]

well...

we found a game harder than "The worlds hardest game"!

didn't think the music went with it though lol...

but anyway a decent game dude...

Its just a little simplistic to be featured on the front page or anything like that...

Next time, make a menu... maybe a bg... and more detailed graphics in gameplay...

hope this helps.

[Stochastic]

haine1jr has got it x]

i think the character should be more free moving and the game would be perfect...

i got a 25k score and died and couldnt be bothered to try again x]

its a brilliant concept i just think instead of the square movements u have make it more of a free roam, you can keep the blocks in the same pattern, just edit the guys boundaries and etc...

[Super Smash Squares]

well... x]

I beat the game...

it wasn't amazing, it wasnt paticularly fun...

there were no sound fx

no music, a big problem :S

the menu and picking your character section were far too bland and you could have made the buttons and moves look a bit more interesting.

it was a good attempt but the glock smash bros with all the clock characters is much more fun....

you've got the actionscript and everyhting right I think now you just need to go back and re-invent the characters, their moves, the menu, the levels and the buttons and life bars.

once you rework all you're games features the game will look much better and it will be fun to play :]

[Archery IMPROVED]

lol

i broke it xD

theres a glitch if you pull back for too long the background goes all spazed and the target vanishes over to the side... so you cant hit it... this weird mirrored castle image comes up and theres a green and blue background behind the castle :S

you may want to fix that... :P
