grandbrinus's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Spaceship Dodge]

This game can be interesting but it's not clean.
Where is the tutorial to explain the controls ? Why my ship is leaving the center when i press Start ? Why the score is in the middle of the screen ? Why i can change the color with a strange interface on the left ? Why do i have to ask myself these questions ?

You have a concept, now you should work on how you show things, don't put elements randomly on the screen.
Make a clean and clear interface with things at the right place, score and high-score are commonly at the top of the screen. When the game starts, add a little tutorial to explain where to click. Add a second button "Change color" and make it directly changing the ship color, we don't need a "ship-validator" button (unclear) for that.

Having a concept is a good start, but it's not enough to make a good game. Having a clear interface to make things easy for the player is as important as the fun your concept will deliver.
Keep working and things should be great.

Thanks for your feedback. I'll add a tutorial and improve the interface in the next update.

[Bubble Tap]

The game is okay.
Having a little tutorial would be a little better because at first i really believed i had to randomly pop the bubbles.
It can be an interesting game on mobile.

If you keep the mouse button pressed, the bubbles explode when the mouse cursor touch them. I think it's a bug.

This game is cool. It's easy to play, the randomness is a little unfair sometimes but the gameplay is enjoyable. We always try our best to do a perfect score ! :)

Nice job !

Bearmask responds:

Hey thanks for the feedback :)
I wish you many perfect scores!

[Minute of Rage]

I'll follow ViolentSh4de : the game need a little more work on random events. I got stuck sometimes because the game ddint offered me any exit but the death :'(

But overall, it's a fun game.

Wolod responds:

Glad that you've liked it. The randomization is not so cruel as it may seem. Do you know that you can walk past the spikes without dying? That should make your life much easier.

[Quady - logic puzzle]

I finished alot of puzzle at the first try (but i didn't finished the game yet).
But the ambient is cool, it's good for chilling.
Nice job !

DreamlikeGames responds:

Thank you :) we worked hard for your experience
BTW you can try more lvls on android :)

[SpaceFall]

Very good game, good graphics, good music, nice concept.

But.
The levels are very easy, even if red balls change their behavior time to time and space is comig tighter, i almost finished all the levels at the first try.

And i have some problems :
- after the tutorial, the ball and the red things were black boxes. I had to restard twice the level to make them appearing.
- "Unlock the checkpoint - Watch an ad" hm ? i guess it is for the mobile version. But here on desktop it was very strange to see this and i never know when it is activated or not.
- the gear looks like floating on the sky etc. You should put it somewhere it really looks like an interface element and not a forgotten image on the screen (a corner for example).

Nice game.

Thanks for your feedback :)

[Sudden Ice Age]

It's nice.
Sure the graphics are not awesome but they do the job.
It's already said but yes, the upgrades are a bit confusing, the "Wood to money" disturbed me alot, i knew what it was doing one time before the end :D

But it's fun !

Domo76 responds:

You are right! I guess most of the issues come from the fact it was done only in several days. I hope to create better games in the future investing much more time and effort. Doing these small games at beginning brings me feedback about what aspects I should improve. I am grateful that you played and made kind comment with valuable insight. Thanks for the rating too :-)

[Christmas Game]

Very cool game.

Nice music choice, good graphics and it's easy and fun to play.
I did 4214 !

shajby responds:

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the game! You can find it even better when played on mobile :)

[Unlucky Ball]

I liked your game.
But please don't make it looking so sad.

- In level 4 and 5 i start with a black background then it blink to blue.
- The platforms don't have any height so it's hard to see how hight they are from us
- There is no life in your scene ! The ball, in being completely white, we don't see it rollin but floating on the floor, the blue background is empty, why not adding some lines with different colors (even two : blue and dark/light blue) and making them shining or moving or anything else. Push us in a complete universe. The same for some shadows : the ball is hardly exposed and the coins too so the colors look plain and the shadows on the object itself disapear.

Overall it's a nice game but it's sad it look so empty.

Husnainix responds:

Thanks for your advices 'Grandbrinus' and i apologize for bad graphics in this game and i am a developer i'm not artist or graphics designer anyways thanks for your review. I will try harder next time. Thanks.

[Treasure Huntress Luna 3]

Your game is ok.
It's not challenging at all. I finished the 4 first levels without stopping to run, pressing Z frenetically.

The two first enemies (pink mushroom and dark gothic) are exactly the same : same number of shots to kill and same movements.

The balls never stop, so i tried something : level 4, i killed all ennemies from the start point, before running.

The music is cool, the graphics are weirdo but it's ok, you didn't forget the visual warnings (when you take an object or kill an enemy) which is a very good point when you make a game.

So it's a good start but it needs to be improved to make it fun and challenging.

PrincessNinjato responds:

Thank you for your honest feedback and I will work on what needs fixing.
