Reviews for "Indie Jones"

Intriguing.

Okay, so I have to give this game a fair review since it is, well, a game. However, a lot of people seem to be missing the point OF said game, and therefore are rating it kind of unfairly. So, I'll try to be as fair as I can.

First off, the idea of a documentary of Newgrounds seems like an idea that is long overdue. It's fantastic that you're going through with it, and I'm sure that if I have the means soon I'll donate to help support it. Good luck with that; I'm looking forward to it.

Secondly, the game itself. For something that was created simply to promote said documentary, you obviously can't expect it to have too much meat on it's bones. Obviously, there isn't much depth past dodging obstacles and grabbing treasures, but it's executed quite well and the style is deliciously retro. I'm sure more effort could have been put into this, but considering it's cause, the game is worthwhile distraction and certainly a better way of promoting a documentary than just talking about it or posting ads. That is why you're getting an 8 out of 10 from me: While the game itself could be better, it's purpose is pretty unique and the cause it supports is a very worthy one indeed.

Thanks very much. You seem to get exactly where we're coming from :)

lol

it made me and my friends fart... anyway cool game could be better

good game and...

im down for the cause i'd love to donate because i love newgrounds

It is hard of course

I am glad that you guys are working on a Newgrounds documentary. I might only like this because I really appreciate all the work you guys put into promoting Newgrounds. I would donate money but I simply have so little money to use. As for this mini game it could have been better. It seemed like you could have made the whole thing way more convienient if you did not automatically lose your entire ability to get ahead if you missed one gem. It seems like you should just be brought back on the scale one gem.

Whatever.

I don't like this game for one reason and one reason only. It's based purely on chance. If you're in the middle and a gem appears on either side as far away as it can be, you can't get to it in time.

I have failed this game several times because it decides to put 7 gems in a chain on the sides. The person who got the score of 60k probably slowed his computer down a shitload and moved back to the middle after every gem. The only way you can get those gems is to either already be on that side or to be moving in that direction. Which makes this game more about luck than it is skill.

And games that rely a large deal on where item placements are, suck ass in my book. At least when they get medals.
