Starblinky's game Reviews on Newgrounds

Perfect

I don't often drop the 'perfect' bomb. But this game.. is so damn good!

I just got all trophies, took me about an hour or 1.5 hours. This game is perfect from head to toe, really the only thing I disliked was the enemy that shot thorns out. But like you said, it only happens when you get close to him.. Which actually I didn't know this.

Also I wanted to say, that this is the only game I have played as a flash game.. where an upgrade system was truely strategic, where any combination of upgrades can work depending on how you use them. The strategy and depth in this game is possibly the highest I have seen in a flash game.

Congrats on such a great game. Loved playing every second of it, and actually getting all the achievements!

really fun

Although the map music is so so so so so so SO annoying!! I would actually change it if I were you.. It's seriously that annoying!

Which is odd because all the other music in the game is top notch. Also I always found myself going right for the Archer, I think maybe the other characters need a bit of balancing. Also the Thief is a good idea, but his special ability seems to make him appears to any random spot.. Which is actually a hindrance rather then a 'special move', so there's no point to use it unless you want to lose your lives. You NEED to know where the thief will pop up after pressing space.

got a glitch

Got a glitch on the second level, I was switching the places of 2 tiles, the grey one and the sand one. And the sand one turned into a grey one.. so I had 4 grey tiles and 2 sand tiles, when it should have been 3 each. So I couldn't complete the level.. And I didn't feel like starting over.

But cool looking game though :)

WHYYYY

Why does the stupid thing go so slow!? I know clouds move slowly.. but from a gameplay and design standpoint.. why cant I just hold space to go faster?.. so damn slow!

And howcome I die when I touch the walls?..

[Jeremy Bongstarr]

really good

okay so as I was playing I found all these little bits and pieces that really needed to be polished.. Then after a few short minutes, the game ended!

But to my surprise.. After reading your description, you made this in only 48 hours!! Congrats guys! Amazing job :D

When you are finished watering something it should ALWAYS have a sound indicator to tell you its done growing. And I wish I could have watered the people.. :( That was like the one thing I really wanted to do! They seemed so damn dehydrated and I wanted to save them, to hell with the plants...

Overall really well done for 48 hours, thanks for the game :)

great game

Turret doesn't need auto fire.

The main issue with the game is that it gets a little too easy. I upgraded the turret like 5 times then I could just kill anything with 1 or 2 clicks. I didn't even need a bomb! Also as for the last bomb I got.. the atomic bomb.. it skips to a cut scene.. WHY! Cmon man! I wanted to use that so bad! You should of let us play that part and just watch everything disintegrate. It was fun though, good job :)

FrozenFire responds:

Initially planned to let you drop it and then go to cutscene when it blows

hmm

If people are having trouble with the controls its a failure on your part, not theirs. You should know most of newgrounds users are retarde and can't read tutorials. You need to simplify things or force a simple tutorial with plenty of pretty pictures.

That said, I don't think the game had much substance. It did not vary enough. Also you really need ASWD key controls when using the mouse ( if your right handed like most people). And what was there just wasn't that fun..

However, Id like to say, it did show some promise.. I think it needs a lot of work to really get there though. I think there is so much going on, on the screen you may want to just ditch the paddle and make the walls into spikes. Press mouse to fire, which also moves your guy backwards.

I liked the idea though of the mini games.. I played the first two, the first one is kind of flawed since you can just easily gather all the balls against the wall and just sit there waiting for more to spawn. The 2nd one was just really really hard to control, like the rest of the game.

Overall 6/10, theres an effort was shown but the game just didn't quite make it.. Don't cram too many mismatched ideas into one game :P

Reminds me of how people ate boiling hot bake beans out of the microwave then sued the can company for not having an instruction saying it would be hot after heating it up.

so so so fun

This was epic! I loved this game a lot.

but..

How do we get MP? Besides buying the tiny MP thing from the shop? Is there any other way? I think it should raise the MP 1 point per battle or something.

Also I wish there were more things in the shop.. Those items suck, and I can just collect them in the caves anyways! So why spend my money on junk? The shop needs some exclusive items.

Great game though, suitable music, great graphics and animations, endless replayability, a ton of weapons and items to collect and sell, just a great game over all.

Boredcom responds:

Not all shop items are the same. Sometimes you can find awesome items, othertimes they can be junk. It's luck of the draw. Thanks for the great feedback!

wow

This is very very highly polished. Great game guys. Although I gave it a 8/10 because I would have won a race in first but I used the bird powerup and it attacked me instead of the guy who was right in front of me!!

Also the respawn needs to be a bit smarter, it often spawns me into death or facing the wrong way.

GREEAT game though :)

make sure you test on macs!

The reason some people are saying it has bad controls or its laggy, is because on Macs in Firefox it is VERY VERY laggy. It is simply unplayable. Although if you use Safari it does fix things..

Although I am not sure if this is Safari specfic or even Mac specific, but I watched a preview youtube video embedded in the mochiAds service for the ninja guy or w/e.. Then whenever I pressed F, the screen would go into full screen mode. So this would happen every time I needed to repair a door.

A full screen mode would actually be good since I died because I clicked away from the screen and it hid the window behind another window... Didnt get back to it fast enough.. I was dead.

It was fun though!! 10/10 if you fix the Mac related stuff and include full screen.
