Reviews for "Blue Ball DEMO"
Well, at least you tried.
If you do make, this game, I would like to see a few things in it. For one, when I lose all of my health, I should die. I don't know why you would ever release a demo with such a huge flaw.
Another thing I saw was that the puzzles were either super easy or very tricky. Games should have an evenly increasing difficulty level, not sporadic spikes and dips thereof.
As well, if you want to make an interesting platformer that people actually want to play, you have to have a gimmick. One of the things you play off as a gimmick here, that fact that you are a ball, could be expanded upon. You could add bouncing and physics that would really enhance the game and multiply the variation on puzzles that you can have.
Another thing is that the background art is far from pleasing. People don't like to see the same monotonous thing over and over again -- we need to have out interest peaked.
If you do get some good art and physics in there then people will want to stay a while and gawk at the "Picasos" or play with the bouncing. Although it could be a good concept, it wasn't followed through with.

u cant die because i didn't add the gameover screen for the second checkpoitn yet. try again and die before u get the checkpoint! It did take me 2 minutes to make that brickish background. Ur expecting a lot. This is just a basic jump to the top platform game. i made it cuz i like onez that other ppl made and i wanted to make a better one with more creativity. the final version will be better. thanks for the review. i hate u for the score.
hmmmm
Actually not very addicting ya know? Not to hurt your feelings but it is a boring game. The idea has been overused, theres really nothing original about it except that you made it. I could go on any other site and find the same thing only better. I dont mean to sound critical but add more plot. Cause with a game like this if you dont have plot then its just another ball game and we dont really need another ball game. Maybe add like some levels where you have to race another ball, maybe some mazes. Some enemies. More music, Add like some wierd ass music that nobody has every heard about before. Like some Irish music or something like that, just to make it original. The music have right now is average, its nothing special to be frank, How bout some zelda music or some polka music, mariachi, anything different. Im just trying to help ya out buddy, take these or leave these buddy.
zeekoid responds:
you said buddy twice. and im going to take some of ur ideas. every level is a maze in its own way. i just added guys with grenades and pistols. I'm already a month ahead of this version but i saved it as a different name. im not putting irish music :). There is a plot. ur against red ball and tryin to save pink ball (ur gf). red ball set up a never ending series of traps that u have to get to to face him. which is the final fight. then the ending movie. YAY!
wooo!
nice job, good concept and controls, easy to use but gets harder when you progress through. your making a decent game. keep it up. you get a five.
zeekoid responds:
nice!
Pretty cool
I liked it but too bad it's just a demo. It stops after the first few levels. Wish you had more done. Keep it up - I'd like to play the final version.
