really addictive!
Reviews for "Neonball"
i alrewady love this game
I agree with Snowkeeper(2 post below), I already saw the reply, but I still have to say, it feels a bit unnecessary IMHO.
It seems there's room for optimization when hitting lasers - after you play for a long time, getting hit by a laser tend to slow the game tremendously. It's like the game is playing on 0.3 speed.
Beyond that, the animation, sfx and gameplay are all very refreshing, very well done.
Suggestions for new content:
It'd be nice if there's a level editor. Such thing only make games of this genre all more entertaining.
Suggestions for new stuff in a sequel (through power-ups or level-ups):
The ability to slow down or speed up on a track.
Timed or limited laser-heat buffer, so you can get away with getting hit(This is already present in the game, but not much use - you only see it when you pass a laser that 's about to switch off)
The ideas are mostly for time-attacks. On one hand, you can make it even more challenging - impossible to be done without them, on the other hand, they allow for error tolerance - Getting stuck on an out-of-sync laser when you're one jump away to complete a time-attack can be annoying.
I like this game alot. There are mostly no things that would ruin this game lately. The sound is great and so are the puzzles and the sound of the game. The game is easy to understand and play. And the puzzles get more and more challenging. Although you could change small things like when you complete a level let the player skip the whole thing that they show if you achieved the time limit or how many stars you got.
