Reviews for Combiner

Eh. This game wasn't exciting or exhilarating. Not even for me, when I play mostly puzzle and logic games. I like the concept, but there should be more punishment for not using all of the colors on the board. In fact, if you were really ambitious, you would make it so you could only pass through the door if all colors would be used. Gameplay-wise, it felt a tad tedious, especially when having to constantly move back-and-forth, chasing down the colors when the solutions to most of the levels were pretty obvious. I played for about half an hour and nearly completed about 70% of the playable game. I wasn't really too impressed overall. I wouldn't say that I wasted my time, however, as it was just interesting enough to make me play for a good bit of time.

I feel like if you made the movement a little more fluid, increased the difficulty a bit, and added some kind of reward for full completion of a stage (if that's even possible for all of them) and/or some kind of punishment for not full completion (I don't know, perhaps a score keeper or something of the sort?), then I feel as if the game would be a little more engaging.

Not a bad game at all, I just feel as though there was something missing. I hope my review helps.

Good job,

So far I've reached Chapter 2, Level 14. Combiner hits all the marks for a simple flash puzzle game, so I see no reason to deduct stars. I look forward to the next couple of chapters.

Ch1:L19 Hint - Open as few of the orange gates as you possibly can.

The colors, and the music. O_O

That's a really great game. There also some pretty difficult levels among those.
For my part, it's CH 1 Level 19 which is the one I'm awfully stuck on.
It's still a great concept and I'm looking forward to seeing more new levels.
The only downside is the blinking of the colours, as cyberleon previously stated, which can become rather straining for the eyes as the levels grow bigger and fuller.
Keep up the good work.

Pretty good!

I would change the graphics a bit, though - the "blinking" of the colour drops are a bit annoying when there are many. Also, the "doors" graphic has no real meaning (weather its up to down or left to right does not matter), so it could be changed to something block-like. The third improvement i would make is an indicator that tells that your "cursor" is "full" and does not pick up any more colours. Maybe you should differ the graphics of nonmixed and mixed colours - for example, you could "grey out" mixed colour drops while u are holding one colour in your cursor (for u cant pick up mixed colours, then), and "grey out" nonmixed colours while you are carrying around a mixed colour (for these cannot be picked up while holding a mixed colour) - this would make the game a bit more difficult, because the player would have to remember where which colour is while holding colours, if he doesnt want to pick up a specific colour on his way back (after opening a door and the colours becoming visible / "non grey" again). On the other hand it would ease up the thinking way a bit, the player wouldnt have to think "can I walk through these 6 colour drops with the colour i currently have without mixing it?" because the nonmixable colours would be grey during holding a colour.

Well, just my 2 centy, hope u understood what i meant xD (Not sure if i understand it myself any more xD)
