mothballs's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pixel Prophet]

Nice simple game

I like these simple games, forget originality. It kind of caught me by surprise how short it was though.

Just one thing: The "Fool's gold" medal seems to be bugged. I got more than 70 coins yet I didn't get the medal. Check into that. But other than that, great game. I like the concept.

Genocide responds:

i just tried, and i managed to get the achievement. however, i will look into it.

[FISHBANE]

Err

Let me start off by first saying this was a ridiculously hard game...I thought I was going to go crazy on Scary Places. It got to the point where I was feeling light-headed and starting throwing up everywhere. Until I eventually took an advil and finished the game.

Now my problem is...I got every single goldfish, and after getting the last one,which happened to be in Scary Places, I finished the level and I didn't get the medal.

I'm really outraged, being that I spent 6 hours on this game yesterday and 3 hours today just for that medal. I don't really want to express it, otherwise this review will be marked as abusive (which it probably will be anyway).

But please try to fix this, I don't know what else to do and I'm very sad faic :(

Droqen responds:

First off, congratulations :) you got almost all the fish.

There's one last trial for you to complete, though.

Why don't you try watching the credits carefully? ^^

[SASS]

Very good

For a first flash game, you've got loads of talent. Obviously it is very basic, but you can certainly add more to it. Make things like levels, different enemies, and health (instead of just a one-hit kill).

Also, a replay button is simple and believe me, it really works for people playing your game. A lot of people prefer pressing a nice, clean button instead of right-clicking and pressing play.

Also, instead of just basic rockets and ships you could add a different theme. Or make a background. These are all ideas that I think could really bring up the score of this flash, because 1.75 doesn't describe how well you did on this at all.

Anyway, I know if you put a lot of time into a well-thought out and fun game like this, I have faith that you can really pull off something great. Keep it up, you can only get better man.

zeekix responds:

Thanks for the vote of confidence. I also appreciate the input! My next game should be more advanced. This was my first time ever coding in AS, and drawing in Flash. I used a lot of tutorials, google searches to pull this off.. but I also learned a lot about how Actionscript works. This took me quite some time to make and it means a lot to me that people enjoyed it, and are giving great feedback!

[PixEvo - The Fountain]

Good game, but...

I seem to have the same problem as others. I fell through the ground at some point and got stuck and had to restart the whole game...must fix.

Other than that, decent game. I like the concept, but it gets kind of boring and frustrating when you have one pixel left and you're struggling to find one. Overall, decent.

Evil-Dog responds:

I fixed the door leading to emptiness :) If it's happeninng somewhere, would you PM me letting me knwo when it happened?

[Touch The Bubbles 3]

Nice game

Very nice game. It takes some time to get used to the levels, but once you do it's not hard to get through the whole game without any continues. I must say, very frustrating.

Bonus level 5...GAAAAAHHHH. Anyway, great job man, keep it up!

GameBalance responds:

damn bonus level 5!!! I'll try to not make this mad hard in next games. But I didn't know it will be so hard!

[Revert to Growth]

Great game man

Awesome game bro. I loved every level of it, and the concept was great too. Especially the level creator, even though I just screwed around with it lol.

Just a question about the medals: I know they are broken, but when they get fixed will the saved data that is already on it resend my medals automatically?

All in all, fun game, great concept. Try to get those medals working though, but I know you will man. Keep up the great work.

AethosGames responds:

Actually, sad to say that medals may not end up being fixed, but removed. The API added a lot of errors to my game, and I'm not really sure what went wrong. If I do end up fixing them, all of your stuff will likely be automatically sent, assuming the shared object stays intact.

Thanks for playing :)

[Circle Packing]

Simple, yet addicting

Very fun and addicting. Also a really originally idea executed well.

Only thing I have is that a lot of the levels were out of order...as in, level 4 was the hardest level in the game. But don't worry about it man, I know how hard it is to create levels and test so I won't break your chops for anything.

All in all, a simple, original and somewhat addicting game. Although somewhat dull, could have done with some music or backgrounds.

4/5 - 8/10

BlackStar23 responds:

I dont think level 4 is hard.
The problem with the difficulty is that that rounded the minimal radius of the circle to get an integer. Therefore sometimes easier

[let's make a shooter! 1/3]

NICE!

Awesome man, a tutorial I can actually understand for a change. This would be great for classic shooter games. Thanks man, I will defiantly use this in the future. Also, I'm recommending this to the tutorial collection.

All in all, excellent job. Keep it up man :)

Genocide responds:

Thanks a lot! Look out for part 2 this week, i may make it a bit longer then this one!

[Wld's Hardest Escape Game]

Holy shit I did it!!!

After 3 hours of no sleep I finally did it!!! Whew..that was so tough.

Nickolo3 responds:

Thanks. XD

[Platformer Tutorial AS2]

Not bad.

Very informative, and great explaining. But you might want to make something that forwards you right to what you want to look at, other than keep pressing next to get to where you want to go. Other than that, very good.

ActionSick responds:

thats what the chapters menu is for :D
