Reviews for "Game & Watch: Dodgeman"

Not Too Shabby

This was fun to play with. I like how the game interface is an old game n watch. Got a little hard pretty quickly but practice makes perfect. Nice animation very authentic game n watch feel. Would hav liked to hav seen some nicer graphics but otherwise they weren't too bad.

You should also rate the game on how good it is.

I like the Game&Watch idea, very nostalgic. As someone else said, I want to press the screen and see all the sprites show up (possible new feature? Sexy.)

You did what you wanted very well, but the game itself.. is... lacking.

With the medium you have, it was made well, but I believe there was another real G&W game much like this.

In short: Good premise, sub-par game.

(I loved the sounds, btw :D)

Pretty good.

It's not really my kind of game, but I love how it's displayed, as if you're playing on a handheld game.

Too cute!

Thanks! :)

Helmet Clone

You certainly captured the feel of the game and watch games, the sound and visuals are dead on. What disappoints me is you missed some of the subtle nuances I expect having wasted hundreds of hours on these games.

There's no miss clear at 200 (and I assume 500). The speed is increases with score, but it doesn't scale down and give you a break every time you break 100. Kinda breaks the rhythm I've been trained to adopt in these games.

Gameplay wise, it would be nice if there were more columns, and if they were taller, so you had more than 3 blips to respond to falling objects.

...so basically it's a helmet clone with a smaller playing field, no miss clears, and no house on the left to run to. XD not that this is a BAD thing- half the game and watch games were clones of one another anyways. So really, you're just being true to the genre.

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

As to the subtle nuances - I just invented this game from scratch, I wasn't really copying any existing one except for the look and feel of a Game & Watch, so I just came up with my own rules. Funny story, Helmet was one of the few G&W's that I'd never played before making this.. someone else made the comparison, so I checked out Helmet and was like "woah."

I also have "Game & Watch: God of War" on my user page, it's more of a direct translation of the original G&W, Vermin.

Thanks for the review! :)

Cool

I use to have a game boy and it was a game from KFC you have to doge the bananas but it wasn't a game& watch.
