Abigayl's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Cant Stop: Hill Challenge]

Since this is your first game, I'll be nice and round up to a 3. There are several things that hurt the rating. First is that the ground detection fails when near the edge. You have to be more than 100% on the platform in order to jump even though you don't start falling until later, which causes a lot of deaths the first few times. The second thing is that there is indeed only one two-part level so the game itself is very short. Also, on hard, it's easy to be running so fast that you are jumping consistently and still miss a ledge (due to the first issue). Finally, why does hitting the side of a spike hurt, shouldn't it just be the top?

DeadlyCheese responds:

thanks for the review, will work on it and also the reason the spike hurts you on the side is just the lack of my actionscript knowledge :S otherwise i would have made spikes only hurt on top.

[TumbleDots]

Simple concept, but it was well done. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a lot of lasting appeal, which is where the remaining 2 stars left to go find. Perhaps add some power-ups or different types of balls to keep things interesting.

kaolinfire responds:

Appreciated. :) A lot of the fun in the iOS version is moving the device around physically...I hear you that there's something missing with this one. Any thoughts on where/how powerups would work with this? I have a few ideas for TumbleDots2 that didn't make the cut for this...and I'm not entirely sold on them. 1 is to let the player blow up blocks every once in a while...and the other is to let the player "hold" a block from moving (which would basically freeze a line or column).

[Summer Vacation Parking]

Sorry, but this game is pretty bad. The car crashes into everything (and those items never move) and the difficulty curve is absurd. The first three levels were easy but then the 4th was horrible.

regale responds:

I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it. Some levels make take a few attempts, but I didn't want it too easy. The 4th level just takes a bit of patience to wait until the person is out of the way.

[The orange Rectangle]

Really not that good, sorry. The game is under 1 MB but took longer to load than some 10 MB games... dunno what's going on there. There wasn't any difficulty until the rainbow world... and the level with the long platform that goes up and down (3rd in the rainbow I think) squashed me into the top, so now the game is broken. Also, the music got annoying quickly...

Ironically, I still gave a 2 with all of that...

TanKennshoO responds:

not trying to do the best in the world was just trying
something about as2

[ErlinE]

Very nice game, great atmosphere... but why oh why only WASD controls? I kept playing to hope to find a use for arrows... but so far nothing. Such a shame that my left hand is hurt so I can't play to the fullest.

Frozennnn responds:

Thanks Abigayl for the review sorry i will put arrows in the update
