Exedor's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Foot of God]

It takes too long for the bars to fill. Plus, having your only real weapon also hurt yourself is bad. :\ This could be good with a few changes, possibly. Also, add music and sounds.

m3on responds:

@Exedor - Thanks for your feedback. I made this game in 3 days for Ludum Dare 32, and I agree it definitely needs some difficulty adjustments (and of course music and sound). But I disagree that the foot hurting yourself is bad, it's part of the game.

However, I want to improve the experience by casting a shadow underneath the foot when it's stomping to give players a clear visual indicator on whether they're going to be stomped or not. And, I want to update the 3 bar healing beam to not only heal your character 100% (which it already does) but to also kill all the monsters on the screen at the same time.

I also have some ideas on how to start off slightly easier before it gets intense. Unfortunately though my game is currently in the jam and I'm not supposed to update it...but I might just remove the web version of my game from the contest (I also submitted Mac/Windows versions) so I can update this one to be the best it can be.

Please don't submit things that come from tutorials. They count as public files, since they're available to everyone. And when you do tutorials, you're not actually creating your own game. You're following steps to re-create someone else's game, and so, that's why they're actually against the rules. Submissions must be your own creation.

Templates are similar, in that they're a basic game that's already set up with code and sprites, but you then have to go and add your own touch to it before it's considered finished. Nothing was added to this.

This wasn't bad, as far as it looks ok and the controls work, but it should, since that's what tutorials and templates do. This game has actually been submitted many times already. Since it's a public file template or tutorial, it will be removed.

Keep working at creating things. Just make it all your own.

Good luck. :)

taorcb responds:

Ah. Okay. I only looked at the Unity terms of use, they said it was fine to use it as long as I don't profit from it. I guess the "Your submission must not be a modified version of someone else's work" phrase should have notified me.

[Idle Pro Gamer]

Ok, I'm done with this. I've had my computer up for 4 days with this running non-stop, and that's waaaaay too long.

Medals earned: 4. It showed onscreen that I should have earned at least to medal #9, but it never showed up in my medals.

I understand the point of an Idle Game, but this is not an idle game. You have to click to get EXP, and even tho it eventually starts automatically, the values needed are just too high compared to what's coming in. You shouldn't have to babysit a good idle game.

I'd advise you to play your own games before submitting them here. If you're bored with it, then we're going to be more so, because you know when the next achievement is coming, where we are playing blind.

I'd also suggest setting it up to re-send the medals when the game is reloaded. That way, if one medal didn't show up, or if the connection was offline when a medal was earned, then the player has another chance at getting the medal they've earned.

No need to respond to this. I know you've put up another version from your responses. I just didn't want to stop this one to go to another one.

Blobzone responds:

Yes, i agree with you. Try out idle slayer, or idle pixel slayer if you like. The balancing there should be better.

If the goal of the game is to get the highest time, you need to add a game over screen that shows the time.

coolness444 responds:

I am still working on it so that was what I was planning on doing latter but thanks for the review

[The Corridor]

The maze isn't even beatable?

The flashing of the lights is annoying. An occasional flickering light is cool, but all of them flashing at the same time is annoying.

If the game is not finished, please do not submit it! This isn't the place for tests.

PhiloHick responds:

Hey exedor, It is only a quick demo and I presumed u could place demos here, I will upload the finished game next week. sorry for any inconvenience :)

[Alien Warfare]

Isn't this a Construct template or tutorial?

First, please don't submit things that come from tutorials. They count as public files, since they're available to everyone. And when you do tutorials, you're not actually creating your own game. You're following steps to re-create someone else's game, and so, that's why they're actually against the rules. Submissions must be your own creation.

Templates are similar, in that they're a basic game that's already set up with code and sprites, but you then have to go and add your own touch to it before it's considered finished. Nothing was added to this.

Keep working at creating things. Just make it all your own.

Also, please don't submit unfinished things to the Portal. If people submit unfinished things, then this will become an unimpressive site. Would you hang out on a site where none of the movies or games are completed? Think about it.

If you want feedback, tips, and ideas, that's fine, but this isn't the best place for this. The Portal is for finished items. The Forums are what you want. Load this into your Dumping Grounds. If you don't know, it's the third icon from the left at the very top of the page when you're signed in. It looks like a bucket with an arrow pointing down. Once it's loaded there, copy and paste the link into the Forums (Community>Forums). That way, people see it and give tips, which is what you want, but it's not in the Portal, filling your account with low scores or blams, which you don't want.

The Portal isn't for tests or unfinished items, tho: http://www.newgrounds.com/wiki/help-information/content-submission

Good luck. :)

GaBeast responds:

Thanks for the awesome feedback. Sorry haha just a 15 year old guy messing around ill take this down as soon as possible.

[J.S.E The Platformer 2]

There's no way I can have my hands on the arrows, the space bar, and the mouse at the same time. You should use the up arrow for jump and use the space bar for shooting. The mouse isn't working for anything anyway, so I can't shoot. This game is terribly unfinished. please finish your game before submitting it to Newgrounds.

Dapa5678 responds:

read the controls before reviewing thanks

[Gracillis V]

Please don't submit tests to the Portal.

FuckenGamer responds:

Ok i just wanna try if my game works but it dosent... Sorry :'(

[Monsters time (Zombies)]

They keep popping in right on top of me! D: I started a game and the very first zombie was right on top of me, so I was damaged before I even fired a single shot of the game. Also, the hit boxes for the zombies are big so I get damaged before they touch me. Also, add a game over screen WITHOUT the high score list! The high score list is right where I'm clicking feverishly in the game, and the list is clickable, so when my game ends, I automatically click on something. EVERY single time I've played, I've had to deal with some new popup because I clicked on something in the high score list.

dridiyassine responds:

Im sorry about that :( , but its the Demo version , it is just a test, im making the full one

[Rainbow Freddy DEMO1.1]

Much better. :)

Roksi responds:

Thanks a lot!
