rubikks's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Plinko]

Physics, Physics, Physics.

Let the player choose EXCACTLY where they want thier chip dropped, and then make it a physics, and not luck based game from there on out. I would look at the game Sushi Cat as a good reference to what YOU should have done with this game. Overall, though, you still did a pretty good job and the game had an authentic feel to it, and I LOVED that it actually used my newgrounds account name in game, that was cool. Achievments were nice, but really not related to skill in any way, so they're not really worth much. Beyond that, I would suggest adding a "sandbox mode" where you get unlimited chips that you can plink to your hearts content.

pacdude responds:

Considering that after you release it, the chip still takes its random bounces down the board, physics wouldn't make the game skill based. The game is still a game of luck, physics or not.

needs work on the crashing thing.

what you've made is a VERY simple game. It should not by any means need enough of my computer's processing power to make it crash. You seriously need to look at your coding and see what you can simplify. Beyond that, I think the game had potential. It's kinda like one of those strange artistic games - unfortunately, patrons of Newgrounds don't quite appreciate art games very much. For the handful that do, I would suggest adding some form of motivation, possibly a caption or phrase illustrating a story as the player progresses.

K0Nx responds:

the lag is on purpose ;D

but thanks alot. I haven't agreed with alot of the reviewers but simple story text might have been nice.

[Bond City Defence]

you know the drill

need to improve:
Better graphics are a MUST!!!! right now this game is the most visually unappealing thing I've ever seen.
more balanced gameplay. There's often far too many enemies onscreen at once to successfully shoot down. I would suggest changing the weapon to a machinegun, giving more ammo, or having enemies spawn less frequently.
Beyond that, the game is acceptable, if not quite a bit repetitive.

thanks for the tips

11/10

originally, this was a normal 10. Nice graphics, fun gameplay, overall smooth controls. Then I looked at the description, and first flash showed up, so I'm like wow. just an awesome job for your first one. keep up the good work.

Soltex responds:

Thanks Men .

[Ticketless]

nice!

alright, you said this was a tribute to canabalt so let's compare.
music - advantage canabalt. I really didn't enjoy this tune very much. Sure it was fun and energetic, but it didn't keep it's flair for long.
graphics - advantage canabalt. Sorry to say it, but I feel that canabalt had far more stylish graphics, and it helped to create far more atmosphere in the game.
gameplay - advantage ticketless. I think you did a nice job adding a bit of variety between obstacles, putting a little more thrill in the game.
highscores - advantage ticketless. Facebook. that's the biggest thing you've done right for this game, and the inability to post scores on facebook was my biggest problem with canabalt.
difficulty - advantage ticketless. It's a no brainer.

All in all, I have to say that your game would win against canabalt in my mind, however it seems like this is a it less similar to canabalt, and closer to an old flash game by the name of arcane castle.

TinyColossus responds:

Thanks mate! I didn't want a direct compare to Canabalt, it was only the game that inspired me to do Ticketless!

[KERIXEP]

I've played this before.

i KNOW that I have played this game before. I remember it, just not where I saw it, so I won't accuse you of theft, however, please do clear my memory by letting me know where else you may have uploaded this.

[The Cursed Beneath]

you pulled out all the stops.

the best thing I think you did in this game is making an individual sprite for each phase of the guns rotation. It was a nice change from having the computer auto-rotate it instead. You also did a nice job putting physics on the little hp boxes. These are all features I've never seen in a flash game before, and combined with awesome graphics and pretty nice gameplay, this is a fantastic flash game, one of the best I've played in years. One little flaw, though, I think there could've been a little more variety between enemies, but besides that, you've certainly outdone yourself.

[CryptHex]

verry easy...

I found this to be a pretty simple puzzle to complete. I'd like to criticize you on somewhat clumsy controls, but I've never used a virtual rubik's cube(or variation of one) that worked all that much better. Overall, I think you've made a very nice little puzzle.

[Rage Truck]

no. just no.

my car went completely upside down and I kept driving without a penalty. Just waaaaay too easy to be any fun.

[Liftoff 2012]

unoriginal.

releasing this game is just polluting Newgrounds with a terribly overdone "toss the turtle" sort of genre. The graphics and atmosphere ARE pretty nice, but the gameplay is just bland and offers nothing new from what I've seen before. Since this IS your first game, I'll go easy on you and provide four stars, but at any other rate it would only get one.
