Pingu's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Murloc 3: The Portal Of Fools Alpha]

Delivers the mrrgarbls I came for. Maybe add an item buyback at the merchant: I sold something and couldn't get it back.

Krylion47 responds:

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll try to add it in the next update that'll come after i've fixed some of the bugs that are currently present!

[Pac-Man : Shooter]

It's functional. The ghosts always spawn out of the same spots though, so it's very easy to preemptively move your cursor to where it needs to be. Keep at it!

McpoyleGames responds:

Thx, going keep working on it!!

[Lone Space]

It works as it should. Simple graphics and controls, but that's good because I've come across a few games with weird choices for directional arrows. Both single and two-player versions work well, obviously I could only go so far by controlling both parties. Good work for the timeline being a week!

[TinyGhost]

Seems I found the "sweet spot" because as I write this, the ghost is far off the right side of the playable area racking up score (4k+). The controls for ascend/descend work, but something forced the ghost to rush right and I can't seem to get it back.

I might suggest figuring out what made him flee, and maybe adding some stalactite obstacles which would end his freedom if someone else happens to find the no effort sweet spot (13k+ after proofread).

Tomli responds:

I have updated the game, thanks for the support and tell me if there are any problems!

[Recycler]

Except plastic bags and styrofoam are recyclable, most places just don't bother because they have to pay an extra person to sort it off the belt and the cash return on those items is low. The regrettable pursuit of making money over saving the planet.

Everything works, but I'd put some kind of caveat that they can't be recycled in your area vs in general. Otherwise it's false info to say that some of those items are not recyclable when they are (and are directly labeled with the recycling process symbol).

Foamgoswamp responds:

Thanks for the advice, and yes I did realise styrofoam is recyclable but most recycling bins, unfortunately, don't accept them. Some of the ones that are recyclable (but weren't labelled as such) were not put under the recyclable category because, like styrofoam, are unable to be into most recycling bins, but I will consider inserting a caveat in.

[Clam Man Demo]

Really fun and interactive. The song did me in, good work to whoever wrote that lol. I'm looking forward to the full version!

[The Chain]

This is really fun! I definitely like the concept of having to reset the chain, but it's certainly a challenge trying to find the right gap in the attacks to do it. The sounds were really fitting (arcade pew) and everything seemed to work as it should. Good job!

PaperCookies responds:

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it all (and the pew!) :)

[Handulum]

This is pretty fun! It doesn't take long to get used to, but a small tutorial or some instruction in the Author Comments might be a nice addition. Sounds work when they should and aren't annoying or overbearing. Maybe a little low level ambient music would add to the experience.

For backgrounds, it would be nice to have some variation between the inside and outside of the "cave" play area.

[Anthropic Principle]

Not a bad interactive game, but lacking much in the way of a reward. Everything works as it should, so good on you there. Once the user figures out where to find the "sweet spot" is, it isn't too challenging to form the Earth fairly consistently.

I might suggest at least some kind of "success" meter. I think the next step would be a sort of level system, where if you succeed X times, you move up in a difficulty.

[Fidget Spinner Tycoon]

Works pretty well (written from "Love fidget" stage), I did notice the pre-loader pops up occasionally, both on loading a new fidget but also sometimes randomly while clicking. Everything else seems to be working well.
