Reviews for Atom Juggler

[the-meedows]

not bad at all!

I didn't play a long time but that's because I'm a little tired... but the game is good! The variation you made from the classic use of a pad and a ball in a game is quite nice. I suppose you can't play for hours because of the routine and the difficulty (I was a little messy with only 3 balls, so...) but the game is good!
bravo
2 things, though :
the animation of the smoke when the ball hit the pad could be a liiiiitlllllle beter... with more frames and a slower vanishing...
and the screen is a bit too small... my cursor was often off-stage and I think that when you're juggling with 23415 balls, it must be a problem...

Jindo responds:

Thanks for the review, and in answer to the 2 things:

It's fast because the game runs at 45 fps (really fast), but I can try to improve on it ;).

The screen's size suited it best, if it was bigger at all, it would've spoilt it a bit, that's why the power-ups are there ;). (You can also only get 20 balls max).

anyway, thanks for the review :)!

too simple but then......

sometimes all i need is a simple game to get my fingeres goin lol. it was ok and for taht type of game i guess you cant do much better nice job

Jindo responds:

Yeah it's hard to add onto such a simple game :P.

Thanks for the review!

Pretty good

It was a good and an excellent idea but there are two glaring things that ruin it a little bit -

1. Colours - on the grey levels I found it hard to see the balls seperate from the background - this brought down the graphics points

2. Powerups - Instead of having short powerups, why not have them permenant and simply have it in smaller chunks and for higher amounts.

3. Gravity - The amount the 'atoms' bounced by decreased as time went on - realistic yes but annoying and if one fell you then had one that wanted to bounce a huge amount straight away which made it nearly impossible to do.

Jindo responds:

Thanks for the review, and in answer to your "two" problems:

1. Yeah it was originally harder, until I added the shine, as long as you can see the small whiter dots, its easier to see, plus they're easier to see anyway once they're closer to the bottom since the background is lighter down there.

2. Trust me, Permenant(sp?) lasers didn't go down well with some of the other sites this game was shown to xP.

3. Skill is required, and sometimes you'll have to let the occasionaly atom drop by, I plan on adding a health power-up to the newgrounds game, so that might help you out.

it gave me something to do and was entertaining

this was a good submission for only a days work.
maybe if you want a sequel make more upgrades/different ball types/different music.

Jindo responds:

I plan on making a sequal/upgrade over time, whilst this one will have mild updates to fix the few bugs remaining.

Thanks for the review :)!

Addictive

It'll probably be much better if you worked on it for 1 more day.

Jindo responds:

Lol, I spent a little of today improving it and fixing bugs ;).
