My New Game - Finished

[Madferit]

Here is my new game! I wanted you guys to test it out and recommend a sponsor. I know there is a sponsor review thread, but I wanted some recommendations from all the newgrounders. Also, don't say AG because I don't want to fill out a form W9.

Oh yeah, and the game was made easy for testing purposes and I just didnt change it. Also, I realized level 7 was impossible so I fixed it.

New version. http://denvish.net/ulf/020707/78712_fruitgame 2.php

Why does it have to be a gnome? *Just wondering*

Not important to the thread!! GRR!!!! Also gnomes are awesome.

Gameplay is to repetitive, add powerups and stuff.

[Penboy]

I liked it, but yeah, why a gnome? And what was with the blurry menu >.<

[Madferit]

Yeah I know its repetitve, but I'll make a sequel that's better. I want to be done with this.

[MattPrior]

firstly make your own preloader i think it would make a nice touch to the game-
the games very stylish and the newgrounds preloader kind of detracts from that feel

secondly all your backgrounds are blurred but the moving fruit have a solid outline-try and make the out line blurred because right now it looks very ugly.

finally why a gnome ?

still good work, id recommend armor games but there are plenty of other sponsors

Why isn't it a gnome?

Ok, final updated version! http://denvish.net/ulf/020707/78712_fruitgame 2.php

It's all right. Better than what I can do. I can make a smiling orange square move across the screen and jump(All with the same sprite) and collect a coin that brings you o the next level. That's about it.(He can fly in the 3rd level, but that's even easier)

[wkay2]

To all the gnome-haters, look at how hot they are.

ALT!!

And gnome didn't drop.

[noob-toast]

Pretty boring, very unfun, ugly, and I lost my pokemon at level 4 through a fruit.

[Pedochu]

What is with the blur on the preloader? Out of something like 20 blurs, not one of them was necessary and all they do is make the game lag. The game was stylized, so it would be great if you can make your own preloader.

The art was simple but sweet, and the colors flowed together nicely. It worked.

However, for me the gnomes didn't drop. I followed the instructions and persisted, but I couldn't make him drop. Help?

The gnome is glitchy :( It's hard to predict where he'll go... Also, I agree with everyone else-- What's with all the BLUR? It's kindof ugly, actually. But the fruit is pretty, and the idea is original... I like it

[chillyphilly]

I'm, thinking...if you wanted a sponsor, then you're really gonna have to listen to everyone that critiques this game and polish it up a bit more.
At the moment, it's not such a great game. I'd see this getting like a 3 score at the most. It's repetitive, which makes it get really boring and nobody will want to try to finish it.
First of all, as mentioned, you need to make your own preloader, give it that personal and proffessional touch, together with your logo intro.
You have to calm down on the filters. Way too much blur, not needed on the preloader, makes you try harder to focus on the picture and hurts your eyes. Why not, except for the sky background, just take away all the blur altogether? I think it would look a billion times better; more cartoonish.
The baskets and the gnomes don't do anything for me. They pretty much ruin it. They looks so out of place with the rest of the graphics. Keep everything the same style, draw the gnome and the basket.
The idea is original, and you could be on to something. Add some powerups maybe, or something to mix it up a bit. Fix a couple of bugs here and there, and then start looking for a sponsor.
...Thats my opinion anyway.

Thanks for all your input guys, I am making some serious edits to the game.

I wasn't that interested in the game. I don't think it is going to score as good as you expect on Newgrounds. The Gnome was a bit glitchy, but I guess it's unique. Well, the idea that is. Who would think of a Gnome falling from the sky collecting fruit?

Maybe, change the backgrounds a bit for other levels maybe...so it varies? Eh, you may have -- I didn't look through the game more than the second level. I got bored with it after a while.

Well, I rate this game:
2.5/5.

It needs work.

[BlackmarketKraig]

cool game, I made it to level 6 before I ran out of gnomes.

I don't really understand the blur on the large, static pieces of fruit. It's a 2 dimensional plane, nothing should be out of focus except maybe the background.

I do like the game, it's pretty original. =]

[studio-nightbird]

why gnomes...i hate gnomes...so ugly...this was a pritty good game. i got as far as 7...:(.
but really fun. hey if you fixed up some of the bugs on the physics i'll prob give it a 4-5 depending on how it is. i just noticed that at times the gnome went into some of the objects then was sling shot out at the top...but its way better than wat i can do so very well done

keep up the good work

[Madferit]

I fixed some bugs and added mines lol.

Tbh, I think AG is out of the question. Try a smaller sponsor, like dumpgames.com, or maybe legitgames.com.
But either way I suggest you try to work on it a lot. ;)

[Tman1314]

It was a good game. It got kind of boring after a while though because it's kind of the same thing over. Also the blur is your biggest downfall(besides the lack of things to do and get). Also try making your own preloader and it should be a pretty good game.

Cool, still couldn't beat level 6. =[
It's fun, graphics could still use some sharpening up as well as the physics. Still can't say I've ever played a game quite like this one before.

Good job.

[toxic-waster]

great game. amazing idea and gameplay just could not get passed level 4

a challenge that was enjoy keep up the good work
