Reviews for NSG001: 4 Bats, 1 Ball

[ramagi]

Simple yet good

Well I had to play it three tiems to get the real hang of this game.
I never really played a game liek this first time I did so so gettign abotu 20 then I got to 30 then I did better. I could see usign this as a time waster, spendign some more time playing it to see if I could do even better than before.
The true trick of this game was I notiuced certian things really got the ball moving. I'm not goign to say what they were in the review.
Once you learn how to do them it makes it easier to get a better score.

review of your review:

Again you start by telling us about your play experience. Always interesting.

(And you've put in a vague thumbs up re: originality and a forecast of your possible returning to this game in the future.)

You tell of your opinion re: strategy and more about your play experience.

Not much is said though about what exactly you liked (other than maybe the fact that you "never really played a game liek this") or disliked though.

That lets your review down.

Still, it was interesting and enjoyable to read.

5/10

Nice

The graphics, the ball and the bats, but they weren't bad. No sound in this game either. This game, I found it quite confusing with how the bats were used. The ones on the left and side move at the same time, while the up and down ones move at the same time as well. It was interesting anyway to try and get as much hits as you can. A bit hard to control, but it wasn't bad. Nice work.

I don't see why the bats moving simultaneously should be confusing.

Glad you enjoyed it anyway.

Very good concept

Great concept, at first I was confused, then I caught on. What a great concept, adding four paddles, and then throwing in the speed. Maintaining it's speed was extremely hard, especially keeping it going in one direction. This is a great game, just because of the challenge. Nothing graphicly spectacular, but that's ok. You probably could have added levels or something to keep it interesting, but still, very good. Good job!

AcidDimensions responds:

Glad you liked it.

I plan to return to this at some point and add enemies and stuff.

Thanks for the fairly thorough review.

Pong 2?

That was very nice... almost what I would expect in a Pong sequel.

Addictive!

A good challenge level here. It gets easier and easier to choke as the time winds down to zero. I got 65 points once :)

One suggestion is perhaps to allow a higher maximum speed so it gets even more tricky to slice, but the current speed definately doesn't lack intensity.

This game is innovative, simple, and fun. It shows off that you have a lot of good ideas up your sleeve. Stay Funky!

AcidDimensions responds:

Glad you enjoy it.

It was meant to be totally different, but I had some problems and decided to go in a different direction.

The fact that you've enjoyed it so much is the primary factor in my decision to maybe redo this at some point.

Faster max. speed, faster min. speed, speed increasing with score and mebbe sound. Oh and I'll forget about making a high score table for this and just keep it for the next iteration.

I need to finish the full 'Asteroids' animation first though.

Cheers for a truly excellent and encouraging review. I rate your review 9/10.

I love reading your reviews. :)

Stay funky yourself.
