LDeins's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[MrMine]

... and suddenly the game started to lag .... after 5 sec everything disappears, except the background and the HUD at the top saying full capacity ...

Tried to reload side and load game, but same bug.
Tried to open a new game slot, but even there the same (the tutorial works, but there is nothing to see where it points to).

Well, how should i rate this then ?
The first 5 min were ok, bit boring maybe case i don't even have to click to get the resources. At the other side there are already enough clicking games out there.

2.5 because it worked (the first minutes)
+ 1 because it entertained me during that time
-0.5 because of the bug (and it seems to be something really heavy)

aoblouk responds:

That is really strange, haven't had this happen to any other player as far as I know. What browser are you using? It may help me locate the issue. Thanks.

[Lure: The Kings Gold demo]

Looks like it's just crap.
Couldn't even pass the first level. The hint to create spears is useless if the trees can't be destroyed ... neither with "c" nor with "v". than i got stuck on the upper edge of the screen and had to restart (right clicked and chose rewind). as i did so, the background was gone and just black (the other objects were still there).

So, however I'm supposed to create the spears, i couldn't and therefor your game doesn't work.

teammoorland responds:

Dear LDeins, thank you for reporting this problem it seems you've experienced a serious glitch. However it's hard to investigate this issue, this kind of glitch never occurred to us while testing. Maybe you should give the game another go? Normally you should be able to destroy the trees by punching them, using the C button. If you'll experience this glitch once again, could you please report it to us?

[Billionaire Blitz]

Interesting combination of the clicking games (where normally the money/sec element is included as well and the target is to reach a certain number) and the linking mechanism.

solid game and i found no bugs (2,5 stars)
and it was cool to play the first level (+ 1,5 stars)

but forcing the player to download a app (free or not) is not acceptable (-2 stars)
if it is because of the ranking, you should upload a leader-board free version here if you want a good rating.

ExK responds:

hi LDeins, the game doesn't force the player to download. The Millionaire level is completely free to play. Players can play it again and again until they feel that they would the game so much that they want to play more.

[Witch Hunt]

Each time i win a stage, it comes into my mind that you easily could (and on my mind also should) make a adult version of this. Every time it's like a teaser ....

But that's a review of the current game :P
It's well made and the balance is pretty good. If the progress got stuck, it's pretty easy to collect gold and to go on. Additionally the various upgrades make the game very interesting because the player can choose how to go on (overall improvement or specialize on one spell).

But one thing that i found:
the achievements can't be seen, at least i didn't found a way to view them. And as they improve damage and collected gold (not sure about the last thing) it could be useful.

Never the less great game. But next time please don't torturer the male players :D

vipervgames responds:

Thanks for playing! The achievements from the medal / trophies are passive. But it sure is there. As for the adult version, I've done them before. Maybe after a game or two, I'll make another one.

[Viral Hazard]

WTF ?!?!?

I feel overwhelmed from the first level on. So many things fly around there. And no mater if i shoot the orange guys or not, as they reach the left side i receive damage. At the same time it doesn't seems they can be really killed since the "bullets" just stick to them. 3 of them, 4 ... but the bacteria doesn't die. Oh, and they don't disappear on the left side. The bullets which got stuck to them just pile up.

The first two levels are for getting used to the controls ? what you really need is a tutorial. First a level just with red cells to fill the bars, then add some of the white guys, and then add ONE bacteria so the player can get used to kill it. And after that tutorial, the easy levels are OK.

Oh and: A mutebutton !!!!
Please .....

One last thing, a bug:
On the intro, one of the last pages just flicker like hell. Seems like you have two pages there which overdraw each other.

redro responds:

I understand it is a lot of moving objects on screen all at once. The next update will hopefully fix some of that, plus the bugs you have mentioned.
Each bacteria requires a certain amount of antibodies to kill it.
The ecoli (orange guys) take 3.
I am working on a better animation sequence between levels to better describe how to defeat each bacteria.
If you press the escape key there is a volume control to turn off the music.
Thank you for the feedback!

[BetterWorld : Origins]

I'm getting the feeling that there is a bug.
After activating all the crystals with the last beam pointing to the ceiling nothing happens anymore and i also can't do anything ...
Only hotspots left are the last crystal and the first with the insect (however it's called in EN).
But no interactions are possible on this hotspots.

Last, one thing i would improve: Make the pointers to the next area (or leave the current scene) more visible. It took me some time on the beginning to find them.

Oh yea: and even if it's just a short game a walkthrough should never miss.

AndHalfAFish responds:

Thank you for leaving a comment !

No bug ... You just probably missed doing something. :-)

I've uploaded a new version of the game with an interactive cursor. It will make it easier to see what objects you can interact with.

[Abandoned]

A pretty cool, well mage and solid game.
But on some points it was unnecessarily hard.

- First the spot for unlocking the round plate between the rails is really small. I just found it because I've read in the comments that the spot exists. Make the whole red thing as the spot to unlock.
- next is just something small, but sometimes the small things have great effect. The switch which activates the trolley ... it's cables point in the wrong direction. that's why i thought it unlocked the pickaxe and didn't pushed it again.
- than finding the binoculars was tricky. I needed the walkthrough again.
- Last thing: why should the player close the door by himself ? I really see no reason since the switch is already outside the room.

But well, none of these are essential things or bugs. Therefore: well made game.
PS: I especially liked the colored cube. Was a bit hard to find the entrance mark on the rotating cube since it was blinking, but that's a great little puzzle :P

krutovig responds:

Thanks for your remarks. They are pretty useful.

One thing I don't get
>>- Last thing: why should the player close the door by himself ? I really see no reason since the switch is already outside the room.

Could you please explain it?

[SkyRealm Quest]

Since i'm watching an online TV-stream ... where is the mute button ?
There is no ? Seriously ?

And i've read in the comments that there is a bullet shooting function ?
Have i missed the instruction ?

PrincessNinjato responds:

pressing Z and X allows you to shoot and sorry no mute button also X locks on to a boss

[Patih Araya Demo]

Ok, where should i start.

After creating a character there is no way to start over again a new one without reloading the game.

Either i over-read the description of the coins or it's not explained. To make it more intuitive you should thing about changing the sprite of the exp (orange coins) to exactly this 3 letters: Exp :P

To get finally rid of the blinking tag on the "free gold" button i simply clicked all the buttons and just closed the new opened tab again. Never the less that could and should be done better. The mark should disappear simply by opening the tab.

Last point: the pretty nice made symbols next to the attributes are what exactly ?
I would guess:
- movement speed
- attack speed
- damage
- armor ?
what about HP-reg and MP-reg ?
And why are these states not explained ?
I'm pretty sure i don't do 1.6 attacks/sec. It's more like 1.6sec/attack isn't it ?
And does armor simply blocks of damage or reduces percentage ?

It looks nice at the first, but only seems to be finished about half.
60% finished => 60% stars :D

greatz responds:

hi, I knew this kind of question is gonna show up. I prepare all that here. http://patih-araya.greatz.net/tipsAndGuide/
there is also a link to go here in the game.
but still that is my mistake not put the explanation about ms as which you have said. I'm getting so many critics so the full version will contain all that including yours.

[Magnet Hero]

looks like the player has the same size like the blocks witch is a problem:
- crates are pushed even before touching them.
- once a gap is smaller than one block, the player doesn't fit in to push the crate back.
- even dying is pretty annoying if you just die because there are spices in front of you ...

additional: walking small steps is hard because the player reacts just after the key is already pressed a certain time. thing about a square function to increase of speed to allow small steps at pressing short time.

All in all is works but it's buggy.

ThalesQwerty responds:

Fixed these bugs.

Thanks!
