Exedor's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Atlantic Invaders (test)]

"the rules only ban "pointless" demos and this clearly has a point so ha ha ha"

Actually, nah, this is pointless. Sorry. There's just not enough of 'real' game content here. The idea is that you submit half or two thirds of a working game, so people can try it, but not have the whole thing if you don't want.

This does have some parts...
You can move, so the controls work.
The graphics are good.
It has sound. One sound.
It has an end.

But it's missing so much...
It has no levels.
It has no music.
It has no menu.
It has no start button.
It has no Replay? button.
It has no credits.
It has no princess to save.
It has no other castle for her to be in.
It has no castles at all.
It has no medals.
It has no high score list.
It has no scores.
It has no guns.
It has no fireballs.
It has no explosions.
It has no Hadouken!
It has no power ups.
It has no power pellets.
It has no ghosts.
It has no pac, though, it does have men.
It has no bonuses.
It has no trophies.
It has no DBZ, Sonic, Mario sound effects or characters. ...thanks!! :D
It has no cars, trucks, planes, or trains.
It has no obstacles to avoid.
It has no enemies to avoid.
It has no ponies to avoid.
It has no level select.
It has no girls in bikinis holding signs that say "Round 1" Don't forget the bikini girlz! D:
It has no zombies. ...unless those were zombie heads. In which case, they have no green.
It has no eggs.
It has no ham.
It has no poison.
It has no potions.
It has no hearts, life bars, or lives.
It has no 1ups.
It has no 'insert coin for credit.'
It has no coin slot, and so I think I've fawkd my CD drive slot.
It has no vampires.
It has no dragons.
It has no way to die.
It has no Game Over. Continue?
It has no bombs.
It has no arrows.
It has no arrows to the knee.
It has no knees.
It has no secrets.
It has no mystery. And most importantly...
It has no fun.
It has no points...

And that makes it pointless.

Yeah, it needs a lot.

Please don't submit things that aren't finished. It's a waste of everyone's time to do such things Who wants to play unfinished games, y'know?

If you want feedback and tips, 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>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.

Good luck! :)

Thank you! I had no idea there was a Dumping Ground, I will definitely use that instead of the portal for things like this in future. I basically just wanted to upload the thing somewhere to show a couple of my friends, so that sounds ideal.

Should I delete this and reupload there, or? :\ I remember something in the rules about not deleting games that have been hit with a lot of low scores, but that might not apply since this game ("""game""") is literally in the wrong place. Ha ha how do I newgrounds.

But yes either way thank you! :)

Well, it works. Kinda. There's only one level, if that's to be considered a level. There's no real end, so it makes it a pointless submission. It seems like it's straight out of a tutorial, except without the end added. Please don't submit anything that comes out of a Stencyl tutorial.

I got better times rolling thru the level end over end like a tumbleweed, rather than rolling. Level 7 IS impossible. Tires have about no traction. This is not good at all.

Wow. You are off to a great start. The music was perfect. The scene looked good. Controls worked fine, at least for anything I had powered up. But that's where this hit a wall. I had to upgrade speed to level 10 and jump to level 9 before I felt like I could actually do something. I thought the timer was life and that bullets from below must be hitting me, until I saw the 'Increase Time' upgrade.

Basically, the player starts WAY too far down.. No one wants to upgrade items 20+ times (Spd x 10, Jmp x 9, Timer x ?...) before they can play. And for that, I had to give you a non-passing score. But that's not a bad thing, and here's why:

This game has potential, but it's not ready yet, and if I gave you a passing score, you'd have a broken game up here. When you improve it, re-upload the finished version so it starts with a fresh score. In the mean time, if you want feedback and tips, that's fine, but this isn't the best place for this. The Portal is for finished items only. The Forums are what you want.

What you have is good, but there's not enough to it, which makes it kinda pointless.
