Kanahani's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[[WIP] Tiki Taka TD]

It's a fun little game with simple but nice graphics. It has it's flaws though - lack of sounds, no "return to menu" option (or at least I'm too blind to find it), balance problems, some levels have counter how many mobs passed and others don't, no ending - like really, you just end up with wave no 21 and nothing happens. You could add at least simple screen with how many mobs passed, some ratings (eg. 3 stars for no enemies passed, 2 stars for max. 10 etc.) and some back to menu option. I had some problems with placing turrets as well - sometimes I had to click multiple times in one place to place it.
Anyway I kind of like it and hope it'll develop.

Thank you for taking time out of your day to review my game!
I very much agree with the game needing a 'return to menu' option, and it will be added asap when the UI is finished, I will work more on it today and hope that the changes will be to your liking!

The reason there isnt a rating system nor a "star" system is because it would be rather hard to implement such a thing before it was properly balanced (something I'm working on with every update)

The inaccuracy when placing towers will be compensated by the player being shown where the tower would land if pressed (i.e a square below the mouse).

I also dont have plans on letting 20 be the last wave, I'd rather push it to 25 which is another reason there isnt an end screen yet. (Perhaps I should add a placeholder screen even if it would be very ugly?)

Thank you so much for your constructive critizism, I'll take it to heart as I continue development!
Best wishes- Dante.

[G desktop demo]

The graphics looks pretty ok, but it's the only one positive thing I see about this game so far. Character moves so slowly that it fits perfectly with this slow, shallow and brainwashing music and those snail-enemies. This slowness makes me bored pretty fast. It gets a bit more interesting later with those black levels, but they still are slow.
In the first level hitbox is not only not hidden (as you noticed yourself), but also moved to the side. Also there's a weird thing with the animation - when you move to the left the gear looks like it should move to the right and vice versa.
Hope it will be better in the future though.

Thankyou for your feed back back i was going for a slow pace kind of game, i will try to make it more fast. and im not very musical talented, im trying to find people to help make better music. This game is made by one person. Sorry if it boards you, i will make my game more fun.

Unable to beat the level because one of the shiny squares is stuck in the flying block of grass (near the end of the map).

[Colossal Cave (Unfinished)]

Pretty fun little game - it lacks a goal, but it's enjoyable anyway. Took me a liitle to figure out how to move the character, so maybe a little tutorial at the beginning would be helpful ;)

[Cryptoglyphics]

Pretty unplayable - "Video games", "Movies" or "Famous Quotes" say nothing to me - it could be anything really. If there were a list of previous words that you guessed that you can compare with or any kind of more specific hint it may have a chance of being playable.

I like the part with drawing a glyph that's used later in the game though, so 1 star for you :)

Bogden400 responds:

Thanks for the feedback Kanahani, did the "Hints" feature work for you?

I'd like to find ways to make the puzzles easier for those who would like it, while still being challenging for people who don't want to use hints. If the letter hints didn't work for you, what other kinds of hints would you like?

[Very Important Fire]

It begins quite nice - at least everything works in first level. Then it starts getting weird - every time when I have to "educate" people (this little fire making minigame) the screen is white (I can still pass it though). Then the level starts again - it's impossible to go further and the fire-making minigame appears out of nowhere (still white screen).
I don't get it, but something clearly doesn't work.

Rictus25 responds:

Yeah, my bad, the game wasn't finished, i fixed some bugs

[Woodland Way]

Simple but fun game :)

[The Legend of Zelda - The Hero of Rhyme]

Lol, that game is hilarious.

[Orange Combat:Kill a guy!]

Hardly even a game, but I'll give you one star for effort.

[Bubble Blast]

Not the most beautiful or entertaining thing in the world, but it works.

Alib11 responds:

Thanks it's my first game so I appreciate that! How would you improve it? :)
