Reviews for "The X-spot"
Pencilkids responds:
Well done! Thanks for your kind comment :)
Clever
Some of the level ideas were very clever. The extra little bits were a nice touch like the TV channels and the skeet shoot. Good implementation of other mini games into one whole big game.
I did not like the combination lock level though. It's really a waste of time when you don't have any hints at all what the code is. It's just random guessing. I gave up after a while and looked at the walkthrough. There was nothing to indicate what the solution might be and that is a serious time waster.
And also certain levels were fun, but slightly tedious. i liked the skeet shooting. But what I didn't like was figuring out what score I needed to get 'excellent'.
A slightly more difficult puzzle would most definitely be welcome. Put in more puzzle like elements instead of more mini game elements. You have alot of those already. What it needs now is problem solving ones to sort of balance it out and make it more interesting.
And I know you went with a monotone colour here, but I didn't quite like it for this game. But that's just a personal preference. I think it would be a lot more fun if the X's were hidden in colour as well. But you can check on other feedback. This is just me.
Overall, a nice game. Slightly too short, but did keep me entertained throughout. Now beef it up a little and get some more puzzles going.

Thank you for your review :) Regarding the combination lock...is that the level with the roman numerals on the wall ? I think I may have disguised them a little too well. I might update that so they're a little more obvious. Thanks again..I will keep all your feedback in mind!
Wow
I rarely play a game good enough where I feel compelled to write a review, but this one is THAT good.
I really look forward to the next installment of this series.
5/5 10 stars
Pencilkids responds:
Thank you! :)
Very well planned/programmed!
That was a very good game, worth my time too!
I hope to see more of this kind of puzzle type on Newgrounds. This was rather inspirational in my opinion. The levels were very well done, and the way you could just normally play one of the minigames a million times through without realising what you needed to do. I just kept clicking the car on the Driving School level to see what happened (Even though I'd seen the X already)
That was really worth my time. Thanks for this!
Pencilkids responds:
Thank you for playing! i'm glad you enjoyed it :)
problem
It seems no one else has commented this so it might just be my settings or something, but I can't see the cursor on the "shooting" games... So I'm just shooting blind on those. I got as far as the skeet shooting level, but I just got tired and annoyed after getting 4/6 on pure luck.
I really enjoyed the game otherwise as it's perfect for a few laughs and killing some time. Easy enough, and interesting enough to make you want to play through it.
Pencilkids responds:
The cursor bug should be fixed now, just make sure you have version 1.5 load up. If not clear your cache and try load again. The version number displays in the top right hand of the main menu :)
