SmokingFrog's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Abandoned]

Great game, add more levels!

[Kill Baby Hitler]

I like it, specially the music. Althought I like this kind of games, the intro was too long for me, and couldn't repeat it more than three times.

[Inventorious]

Excelent! nice idea. Last level is impossible, right?..

[Dinogen Arena]

Counter-strike with dinosaurs? Excelent idea! With progression levels as COD4? Much better.
Great work!

When do you put it on steam? I want to see how it performs with other players. Don't take me bad, bots were great; dinobots behaved like a dream team.
However, diagonal movement breaks the game, the difference in speed left them at a disadvantage.

[Life Or Death]

If my guess is correct* and the revolutions of the revolver are random, it seems to me a good ludonarrative detail, and therefore, a very good final scene, which proves the determination of the player.
(* Honestly I have not checked, because I get tired of dying so many times XD! But if so, it is very well thought)

Sidenote: I don't know why, but I was expecting a Lynch bad ending; where the body of the bag at the end was that of the protagonist.

Thanks for the comment :))

[Crushing Reality]

Excelent

Hoork responds:

Indeed!

░ Pros> Tilt mechanic.

▒ Cons> Lack further exploit the possibilities and resources of the difficulty.

▓ Devolution> At the moment, the game seems to be a sketch of what could be in the future, but this requires more experimentation when designing the difficulty:
If the game limit will be marked by the Skill of the player, it should be the principal axis of development.

In general terms, you have to review the relations between the existing resources and integrate them in a better way. It would also be good that the music not only accompanies but mark time of difficulty, plus it's a good resource to break the sense of repetition and helps immerse the player in the game.

Particularly I think you should play your own game and relieve possible moves that the player can take as technique (like hitting the walls provides a kind of double jump), then rebuild the obstacles in relation to which techniques are best to overcome it and what no, leaving the player discresion more than one option to overcome an obstacle (as in "Barrier X").

Beyond that, it would be interesting to know if you thought about developing this game for phones or tablets, exploiting even more playability by tilting (and adding a physical challenge).

░ Pros> The overall idea looks nice and it seems well executed:
It's a relaxing math puzzle game with smooth animation and intuitive interface for Movile touchscreen. The rules are explained very well, and in with one simple infographic screen.

▓ Cons> Removing the difference of perception when playing (hands vs peripheral) that determines how we intuit controls (because in a PC, some movements are hard to find in an intuitive way -like the locknumber-), the problem is in the Tutorial screen. Let me explain:

Before anything else the problem only occurs with rookies.
While the rules are explained, the "how to play" isn't. By not demonstrating the gameplay it becomes less userfriendly. Thus, it prevents the player / user facing for the first time in the game, can not experience a proper casual experience.

▒ Devolution> If the axis of the game is to Relax the «player / user» while making an intellectual activity and because of the difficulty of the game, the usability of the interface should not leave room for doubt. Beyond this the game is perfect.

[Shword]

hey! i love the idea. it's a pretty fun to play. I like very much the sword/portal mechanic.

[Idle Game Dev]

yeah, it's a regular idle click game. Like the simple interfase. However:
I was hoping some new mechanic, maybe related to the world of programming, or integrating a simple system of economic context to complicate the situation somewhat.
