Jaggblade's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sarlacc]

Not sure if it was just me, but I found the jet pack erratic?
Hard to understand if it was going to give a big burst or short burst. Could rocket straight into the ceiling with one press. Or pressing 3 times to still crash into the floor?
Not sure if it was supposed to play like?
Otherwise its a good version of an age old game.

Omael responds:

Thanks for playing, it s a bit erratic on purpose, but still manageable, the X key input is balanced as to not be too much.

Took me awhile to actually figure out the mechanics and purpose of the game (I suck at reading instructions). Fun idea, nice and creative. Only reason I stopped short of 5 stars: me no likey the in game font seems too compact to my taste. Also you use o to refer to the tongue but that makes it confusing. I was reading use x/o to play instead of x/c.

afk-mario responds:

We used a tool called Pico8 that has a lot of limitations, the font is one of those so we can't do a lot about that, you can also use a gamepad, and it makes a big difference while playing

Following some criticism that others have already stated biggest criticism is that it is aimed at a niche. Those that don not have the know are making decisions with no reasoning.

A bit of bad English when the 15 year old girl states she has a headache around her bellybutton. But that admittedly is me just being picky.

Otherwise, the game is pretty sound, concept is good, nice art!

*update*
Cheers for responding. It is always good to see people accepting and listening to criticism.
Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the feedback, sorry again about having the game for medical students. This game was a test to see if people are interested in that format so we can invest more time in our bigger game (with more decisions and consequences) Law Blow (https://cheesyholes.itch.io/law-blow) which is targeted to the general audience. thanks for the feedback :)

[TFA Mobile: Clone Wars]

Ok I'm a tad confused; I see a few unjustifiably bad reviews. First of all you have explicitly informed all players that it is a mobile version so obviously it is unreasonable to expect the standard to be at the highest you see on Newgrounds. Also generally the game needs to be of a simple premice for it to be practical on a mobile device.

After playing your Tie Fighter Assault SE game I can see where you have altered the game to make it applicable for a mobile device. Now a few people have flagged up the graphics. Now Yes they are not amazing but they are practical and something which will improve the more you practice. There are no conflicting colours (something I see too much of, where you can't see what your doing as your character is the same colour as the background). Also I noticed that you had put some special attention into your characters, the small animations (blinking etc.) good touches I like the attenton to detail.

Overall your game is a well designed, simple, addictive and has clearly been crafted well for the mobile game genre. I would love to see a variety of games expanding on your characters (I missed the voice acting in this version :( but understand why it wasn't there). The only main reason I didn't vote a 5 for this is simply because I see potential for expansion: Ship upgrades, more story ( I love stories) More character development and yes graphically.

But good job, I have tried many a time to make a Flash game but could never see it through to the end :P So gratz on making something of this quality :D

Thanks! Yeah assuming the detractors arent intentionally being jerks, most probably haven't played the full game and don't understand that this was a dumbed down version for mobile play. Thanks for noticing the small details with the characters and I'm glad you liked them. Some dialogue would have been fun in this being that it has a different story but it wouldn't have been practical. I won't be making any more fan flash games because there's just too much red tape. Almost no other site would host this (kongregate, gamersafe, etc.) because it isn't "original content". I didn't add upgrades to either version because because there are several playable ships (each with different stats) and because the story is short. If the game had a long story and only one ship, then I would have definitely added upgrades.
