Starblinky's game Reviews on Newgrounds

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.

[Thanks Tanks!]

flawed

This game is fundamentally flawed. The controls wont work. I press the circle button and they continue to go onward and fight... The pause button doesnt always pause them right away..
Could have been great fun!! Need to fix that.

WHY!?

You made some odd choices with this game. I admit its pretty fun thanks to the charming graphics and great sound design.

But why would any one want to buy diamonds? And the highest you can buy at one time is 500 diamonds... Why!? There are only two things in the game I can buy with diamonds and thats the 2 guitars which are priced at 1000 diamonds each. And you even have lower amounts of diamonds for sale which is just pointless, why would I want them if I cant use it right away when I have to save up to 1000. I rather buy 500 at a time so I can actually DO something with it. Or why not just buy 1000 at once.. Instead of making us do 2 transactions. It just makes no sense.

UGH, its just so strange that you did this.

Another thing is, why are there so many weapons that are the same price? It doesnt make any sense.. I have to grind hard to get tons of cash but I can only buy a new weapon once every 10-20 minutes since the prices arent spread out enough. Then once I buy 1 new weapon there is absolutely no point in buying the others of the same price since it doesnt show me the stats until after I buy it so I assume its the same as the other ones, so theres just no point.

I suggest spreading out the cost of the weapons so you can buy more quicker. This way it will feel like you are progressing faster, instead of being stuck at one point for a long ass time.

Also seriously have a better reason for diamonds.. As of now, its kind of a joke.. Unless there is something I am missing..

Other then all of this, you did a fantastic job. :P

so good

got all achievements except the 2 at King. Soooo fun. Nothing more to say. I wish it would have recognized somehow that I got all the achievements though.. like fireworks or SOMETHING.

:) Loved it though.

kind of a let down

kind of a let down.. There is absolutely no highscores... none.. wtf?

Also it got really repetitive and the only special you need is the teleport and the create a block, the others are kind of useless.

I did enjoy it to a certain point though. It just was SO annoying how the blocks kept falling on top of me. It wasnt fun to keep getting knocked back down by a cheap faliing brick 10 times in a row. It would have been better if it was more about skill rather then the luck of the brick fall.

Other then that, I beat it on my 2nd try. You have to create bricks near the end or you will die because there arent enough bricks that fall.

wish I could give it a 10

I want to give it a 10 so bad.. but the glitches held me back..

There is a glitch that creates a dead movieclip of the green 'bomb' powerup on the screen. It just appears there and you cant collect it and stays there for the whole game, also it doesnt glow green like the others actual collectable ones do. Before I figured out it was a glitch it got me killed like 5 times. This happens when you try to collect a green bomb when you already have 3 bombs.

Another glitch was when there were meteors coming in the middle of the screen, I decided okay, I will just go to the bottom of the screen. Then the bottom lit up with red warning for spikes. So I said, okay I will just move over a bit away from the red. Then BAM! The spikes came out of the walls even where it wasnt red. About 2 spaces away from it. Part of it was outlined in red instead of completed colored in red.

Also I am on level 3 and I can get to the last part with the red balls.. Its kinda too hard. I mean I am totally up for hard game and all, but its kinda cheap. There's no real way you can win by strategy, there needs to be more bombs in this part I think. I mean it comes to a point where if its too hard, people wont want to continue playing. I could understand if this was the last level because this way, the harder the battle but the bigger the prize (beating the whole game rather then just unlocking a new level).

Please fix these issues and it will be a perfect 10.

fun

pretty fun game. But I think you need to find better music. I had to stop playing, the music was possibly the most annoying I have ever heard in a game.

Xplored responds:

I guess music preferences are too subjective and variable to match them for all players... We tried old style cartoon music. Someone liked it a lot, but of course some others didn't.
BTW, many thanks for the 7 even if you didn't like the audio.

[Robot Wants Kitty]

damnit man!!!!

DUDE!! Ugh. I love this game, but I got caught in a glitch that made me quit..

There are 4 green blocks to the right of a big blue bubbly monster that shoots at you, this is the first siting of a big blue bubbly monster. Then I used my rocket on the green wall and I went bouncing back at a crazy speed and got stuck below the ground.. I could walk around and shoot and it let me jump for a bit and that was it.. stuck!

[Next Action Frog]

hmm

sorry but its not very good.

It needs a lot of improvement. The engine itself also needs improvement. Why does the level keep going after I beat it?

Level 15 is impossible to actually learn what you are suppose to do without looking at the walkthrough. I mean why would anybody just sit there for 10 seconds and just wait and stare at the screen? No one would know to do that.

Also there wasnt much of innovation or anything really even new here. I have seen this type of game many times before.

The game isn't terrible.. I did actually play until level 15 which I guess says something. Perhaps just add more things to it. Perhaps some special abilities where your frog will change color and youll earn some sort of super frog power.

keybol responds:

the clue is follow the flies, so it's pointing to the left. also if you reach the end of the right line of mushrooms, you will see flies making an arrow pointing to the left
