Exedor's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Skill Race]

Extremely poor effort. Your car looks like a golf cart. It drives like one too. Did you know the left and right keys are backward? You press right/A and you go left.

Please put effort into creating something worth submitting, or do not submit at all. Either choice is fine.

Blamya responds:

Arrow keys reversal corrected. Thank you very much for your review!!

Isn't this a tutorial or template?

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.

This wasn't bad, as far as it looks decent and the controls work, but it should, since that's what tutorials and templates do. Since it's a public file template or tutorial, it might be removed.

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

Good luck.

Somebody FINALLY made some decent improvements to Pong! :)

duckdoom5 responds:

Haha, thank you ;p
I've been making games for about 3 years now, but my art is always quite bad. I hope I made it look descent enough xd.

I've actually edited some of the graphics for the settings, but for some reason the new file is not showing yet.

This game has great potential but the battle system is too difficult to figure out. If I continue to press the dam arrows, the enemy is still attacking me. If I just attack without arrow pushing, then no damage is done at all. The arrow pushing sux. It's boring. A better alternative it to have the arrow pushing, but the player attacks at every 10 correct arrow presses, and does the full earned attack at the first error or when .

Also, we need more information. A battle starts; which one is me? Which is the enemy? Or are there 2 enemies? I'm pressing arrows, so I should be building power...where is it? I don't see any bar raising with every push, and if it takes multiple presses to start showing, well then the guy's too weak. What are the 4 icons, and how do you use them? I found some info in the item equip screen, but if you don't go there first, then you're lost. There should be a name by each so people have an idea of what's what.

Ha! I won a battle! I found that if I mash the arrow buttons and watch the blue bar under the left guy and hit space when the number is 20+, then I can attack with some power.

Space Bar to get out of the victory screen would be nice, since the main play is all buttons.

Ok, so I've figured out the gameplay, but this button mashing thing is just too uncomfortable and unpredictable. This really sours the game, unfortunately. I know that's not how you intended it. People who type fast will do well at this game. people who don't... will write reviews like this one. :)

Kwing responds:

You've got a lot of little questions, so I'll try and respond to them with little answers.

Having the player attack automatically would defeat the purpose of having four moves to choose from.

The tutorial instructs you to use the spacebar to switch between attack and charge mode. I feel like given the direct similarity between the arrows and the abilities below, it should have been fairly obvious how to use the particular attacks. Press the arrow corresponding to the right icon to use that attack. These can be customized in the menu.

Your power does build up as you press buttons, but it will happen faster if you press them deliberately. I mucked around with lowering the penalty for hitting incorrect buttons, and found that the best way to stop button mashing is to make the penalty about 1/3 of the maximum power you can get for pressing a button. The penultimate ability you can acquire in the game, Adrenaline, makes it somewhat more beneficial to mash.

Isn't this a Stencyl tutorial?

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.

This wasn't bad, as far as it looks decent and the controls work, but it should, since that's what tutorials do. Since it's a Stencyl platform tutorial, it might be removed.

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

Good luck.

i bought ir from some developer.

Please do not submit tests or incomplete items to the Portal. If everyone submits parts and bits and incomplete things, who will want to come to Newgrounds? This is not ready to be submitted here. There's just not enough yet.

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.

Nasray responds:

Thanks for the guidance Exedor, reading the beginning scared me a bit, but I realized that you were very considerate and wanted to help (or at least maintain the level of quality of Newgrounds, haha). I understand your worries and I will use forums and other means to get feedback.

Here in the games course we were encouraged to seek suggestions and critics from Newgrounds community. In the forum I can get them too, right?

Thanks again. ;)
