JaytleBee's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[space defender English]

+ The controls are kinda okayish
- The graphics are awful
- The music is extremely annoying
- Fullscreen does not work (tested in firefox)
- The gameplay is just not fun. If your game feels like work, you did something wrong.

I WILL BE BETTER

BUT graphics ARE awful FOR BUTTON OR WHAT

[Greenie]

The first thing I want to point out is that this music is probably the most annoying thing I've ever heard.
The pixel art is pretty nice.
The controls are pretty responsive but the hitboxes are a little bit off which makes some frustrating jumps even more so. But that would be fine, if it weren't for the rise of difficulty. The first 9 levels are pretty easy but the last one is just hell. It consists of extremely frustrating jumps and guessing where the platforms are. But the worst thing about it is the jump at the end of the level.

[Reach The End]

Pros:
- Okay-ish graphics
Cons:
- You don't have to explain that you shouldn't touch red objects. It's obvious
- You do have to explain that you can place checkpoints (in the actual game).
- Input lag.
- This game is harder than IWBTG. This is not something you wanna go for in a webgame (I don't care if I'm supposed to download an executable).
- The leveldesign is boring.
Bugs:
- Set two checkpoints right above a red object and your game is broken.

[Ninja Training School]

I really don't like this game. Here's why:
- The german translation is just awful.
- The controls have a delay. Nothing too bad, but you feel it.
- The "customize your avatar" function is just a douche move
- The game is laggy as hell.
- The graphics are ugly
- The controls are incosistent. In some levels, you can use WASD but in other ones you have to use the arrow keys.
- The hitboxes are awful.
- The controls are just bad. It is not fun using the arrow keys and the mouse.
- This is not what ninjas do.
- Shurikens don't bounce.
- "Here, read this instruction" is not a good tutorial.

But all of this would not be a problem. I can live with crappy graphics, strange controls and bad research. The worst thing about your game, the thing which killed it for me was the leveldesign. It's just not fun doing the same thing for a minute. Or 2 if you want a better score. It's just boring.

xmorpher responds:

Thanks for your feedback, it's very useful
- sorry for the translations
- I just experience the lag in the beggining of the game in the menu, not during levels
- the custom avatar is a special feature from the sponsor site, the game has the sponsor's api running but is optional not mandatory
- In the instructions does not say you can use WASD it says you should use arrow keys, but i think you can use both...
- You're right about the hitboxes, specially in the levels where you can move vertically and horizontally without gravity, we will fix that
- About the controls,... arrow keys are standard and we believe were appropiate to this type of game, but there are some things to be tuned, as the walljump
- The levels start easy and the difficulty increases gradually... Usually it takes 35 seconds to approve the level and 70-80 to get a golden ranking
Anyway, thanks for playing and for your comments

[Fatman - The Game]

First of all, this is not a platformer. Not at all. Neither a jump 'n' run.
Now, to the actual game:
Pros:
- The controls are pretty responsive, there is no input lag
- The graphics: Nice pixel art!
- Multiplayer seems to work good.
Cons:
- It get's boring after like 10 seconds. It's just the same thing over and over again. There is not any kind of change to the actual gameplay. And no, achievements don't fix this.

[Dynamole]

Nice game, but the fade-outs are annoying.

Zanzlanz responds:

Sure sure! Instant spawning was also annoying xD

[Rocket Cheese]

Why would you play an upgrade game? Probably because of the feeling of mastery which comes with the upgrades. So, why would you make the first upgrades cost 100 extremely rare stars. You need like 5 minutes to get the first upgrade.

[Dig To China]

Nice game, but I encountered a gamebreaking bug: If you ride a mole when the times over (fall on it in the last second) the game breaks.

[Space Crash Saga]

Nice experience! I like the combat, but I think it's a bit too easy. Reloading would have been nice. I really love the ending.

[RunnerRobot]

The music is just awful, the game is way to hard, also you just don't understand what you have to do.

spyxx responds:

Thanks for your feedback dude! did you the tutorial?
