sharpnova's game Reviews on Newgrounds

really nice.. if it wasn't so tiny.

i tried zooming in on my browser but you enabled that really annoying some flash developers do for some unknowable reason that makes it so when you zoom in with your browser, the game just shrinks relative to the browser to stay the same size.

plenty of games let you zoom that way and some just want to battle with the user for some reason.

the game seems like it might be a 5. but your attitude towards users is a 0

do you know how to average two numbers? i do.

check it out:

[CrossCode]

damn good.

[Snowball!]

really good. made me remember window's sickass pinball game

[Balls in Space]

pretty fun

[Chain Reaction Shooter]

this is an interesting take on this game type. i'm referring to the physics component.

i'm curious though. are you actually computing moment of inertia or is it just a "distance from center" ~ "imparted angular momentum" kind of deal?

either way.. add some subtle particle effects to highlight collision and get some sound and music. extra points if the music is actually just ambient synth or something instead of some jarring crap

i love td games where you can't upgrade your towers

/sarcasm

JackAstral responds:

Lolllllllll Thanks for giving it a go anyway

In the next game I'll make sure to include upgrades :b

i don't like starting these long levels over at the start just for one little collision.

also i don't much like the controls. i get that it's a tough problem because you want arbitrary aiming.

and i'm not saying i know a better scheme. just that i don't like them. it's not my job to find the best scheme.

i like the art and music. and the platforming was tight.

the pixels on my screen in the rectangle that makes up the flash window were of various colors. they also emitted strange sounds akin to music and various sound effects.

forgot to mention. the colors of the pixels changed a lot.

Guy-Unger responds:

have you try to look for patterns in these pixel colors and their connections with the sound? If you manege to do that I would recommend you to also try to connect this with things like motion and story and maybe even mechanics but I can't ask for too much

[Musaic Box]

ok there is such a thing as letting the player figure things out for themself.

there's also a finer balance where you help them along.

then there's this crap where you just spam spam spam spamspa

SPAM SPAM SPAM

GOD DAMN SPAM them with unskippable messages.

let me figure it out for myself.

i did NOT give this a chance because i could not STAND your horrible unskippable tutorial.

i really hated that.
