Exedor's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Race For The Win]

There's a button that looks like a PLAY button, but it brings up a popup. Don't do that.

[Good Santa Claus Puzzle]

Shovelware.

[The Reside of the Perhaps Game]

Movies should be uploaded to the movie Portal, bro, not the Games Portal. This is not a game.

[Batman Halloween Runner]

If you didn't create it, don't submit it.

Please don't submit tests or unfinished items to the Portal. That's not what it's for. 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. 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>"Jump to Forum"). 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 submissions, tho: http://www.newgrounds.com/wiki/help-information/content-submission

Good luck. :)

[Space Shooter Tutorial]

Please don't submit things that come from tutorials or templates. 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.

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. :)

[Impact Simulator]

If you didn't create it, please do not submit it. It's a fairly simple concept, and it's also the rules.

[Martin: Samantha's Blood]

I'm having some trouble playing the game.

While the picture shift effect is cool, it doesn't always work. On some images, it goes to a grey-black static when I get all the way to one side or the other. Some rooms didn't work at all, and went straight to static. Example: Yard>rear patio>bedroom>static room.

Also, it would make it easier to navigate if the movement arrows also told where you were going upon putting the cursor on them. Example: "Hallway", "Lower Main Stair", "Samantha's Room", etc. I came to the kitchen; it said there was a guard, but I couldn't figure out how to return to Sam's bedroom- probably due to multiple static rooms, but still. Those identifiers would help.

What's with the ads?! The screen stopped responding and after a moment, I noticed "Close Ad" in the upper corner. Once clicked, it said "Closing in 9..." and I had to wait. Twice, this happened. I'm ok with ads at the beginning of a game. I plan to make some games eventually and I understand an ad click helps all that happen. But to interrupt gameplay is unacceptable, as is multiple ads. If I wanted a commercial every 10, I'd be watching TV.

One suggestion; make a ffwd and a skip option for the opening. I skipped the whole thing and I don't know why I'm after this girl or who she is. I read fast and can go thru text quickly, but sometimes, gamers are short on time (as now) or patience, and just want to get to the game, and the nice, but slow, video parts seem unnecessarily long. It would be an improvement to be able to ffwd thru piece by piece, and have the option to skip all. That way, you can watch it all, or speed thru it all, or skip it if it a replay.

The game looks interesting, and I'll try again later. I hope there are some helpful tips and suggestions here, tho.

Ganderoleg responds:

Thank you for playing and for your review, it was very helpful.

It seems that I did overdone it with ads, I will cut down the number to one at the begging and one in-game. The reason for 'Close Ad' in the corner (without the ad) is because they don't seem to work on Mozilla, only Chrome and Opera browsers.

I am not sure why you are having problems with room animations, they functioned normally in all of my testings. Maybe it has something to do with your OS, I tested only on few of them :(

I know that intro movie is a bit long and slow but I wanted to introduce player to Martin in a more cinematic way then just informative. Actually you didn't miss anything crucial, the abstract of the whole intro is that you are a serial killer and that Samantha is a girl you followed for a while and decided to make her your next victim :)

The tips when mouse is over arrows is a good idea, I will try to implement that. However I will resolve the ads issue in the first following update.

*UPDATE: I reduced Ads to one at the start (while game is loading) and one in-game Ad in the room of no gameplay significance (right room from the kitchen).

[McDonalds: The Game]

Newgrounds is a pace for you to upload games that you made yourself. Stealing other peoples' work isn't allowed.
