"Under rated!"

I feel a bit sorry for this submission because Newgrounds people in general tend to really hate bubble shooters. Maybe there's something wrong with me, but I love them, so here, have a positive review:

The difficulty curve was, for me, perfect - relaxed at first but really quite taxing once you hit the faster levels. The art in the game was really well done, and the slower first levels allowed me to appreciate that.
Additionally, THANK YOU for not using the walls as sticking points. Too many bubblers do that these days, and it makes them nigh impossible to play once they start speeding up. Part of the fun of bubble shooters is trying to break a big chain down the side before it's too late!
As others have mentioned, a 'next ball' indicator might have been nice, but the lack of one made it a bit more exciting as you had to think quickly - maybe an option to turn one on or off might have been the best idea.
Overall, I think it's one of the best bubble shooters I've played in recent times - no bonuses, powerups or gimmicks, just back-to-basics chain-breaking action.

"Nothing new..."

It reminded me of the bubble bath babes game for the NES. Except this one was a bit more... slow paced, I guess. This game is also a lot easier than the BBB game because you can point where you want to shoot instead of just eyeballing it.

Well, it didn't really offer anything new to the genre. I've seen this style of game done over and over, and done better too, but I did like the ability too see what balls were coming next, the sound effects and the graphics though.

"It's all about the bounce shots..."

by: brownspider

I quite enjoy this game. I find it is fun, original, and bouncing shots off the wall in order to reach otherwise inaccessible areas is awesome. However, I must say that it progresses in difficulty WAY too slowly. This heavily decreases the fun factor of this game. I believe a classic Tetris level and height select would be great for Iron Works.

"Good "Match Three" Game"

by: pbjplatypus

Well, it was a good game. The (what would you call it...? Well, there's "steampunk", so I guess you'd call it "Ironpunk"? Yeah, let's go with that...). The ironpunk style of the game was good. The balls moved some what slowly... (However, that kind of makes sense. I mean, the mass of an iron ball is really large, so it's going to take a large amount of force to push it anywhere. But that's physics, and not exactly what I'm here to type about.) Anyway, it did get boring after a while. One thing I would like to know is how many levels there are. (I got to level four, but that's because I'm really tired and need to go to bed... But that's my personal life and I'm not here to type about THAT, either. (Come on, focus PlatYpus, focus.)) Okay, back on track. One improvement that I would suggest is to have power ups. (Yes, their over done, but if you get creative with them, there's bound to be some interesting ones.)

All in all, I liked the style, gameplay was fun, physics moved slowly (but logically), and power ups would have been nice.

Thanks!

Not a bad game, people should know how hard it is to make a flash game even if it is a game based off another game. I give you props. Good work.
