Amazing.
This is the most fun i have had on newgrounds in a while. The inovative gameplay is fun but a tad shallow. The novelty eventually wears off, but it entertained me for a good 1/2 hour.
Reviews for "Scriball"
Great, original fun
It literally took me 10 seconds of gameplay to exclaim out loud: wow, this is original and well executed. And I came here to write a review right away. That's just how good this is. Now, it may get worse after those initial 10 seconds - have to go find out soon - but the idea already deserves a 10/10 rating.
Very nice
I always love original games, and this is certainly original. I thought is was just another "draw a line and roll the ball" game, but this is much better. Unlike everyone else, I enjoyed the music. The gameplay is cool, and not too hard or too easy, good job.
I think the best thing you could do right now is:
make a few more elements, like moving stuff, and walls/gates as Jollesax said, among many other things, which would really improve the gameplay. Then, you release this in a new version, make a few levels with them, just to demonstrate how they work, and then let people send you levels, to make a level pack (just like "meat boy", if you've played it), and when people have sent in lots of levels to you, choose the best (not the prettiest, but the most fun-to-play), and you'll have a whole other game. (In hopefully a better way)
As I see it, this is what you've made:
You've come up with a great idea, and gone through with it, however, this wasn't one of your greatest games, the levels (I only got to "he looks a bit like this" or something like that, but I realized there wouldn't be much change to the game, even if I played it through (unless I wasted my whole evening on trying to get the extra levels) - and the big problem you had was that the levels weren't very much fun. "Be happy" was just a waste of time, you need to offer some challenge if people are to play, and even though I admit this had a really good bit of challenge in some levels, the difficulty curve was way out of hand... (the levels weren't made in difficulty order, but rather in "theme-oriented order, as you were more concerned about how the level looked, than how it was to play (if you ask me))
Anyway, very original, and I hope to see that level pack anytime soon! :D
Great
I really like this. The music is good for this too.
It's such a different concept and think thats what makes this so good.
I do think that it gets too hard too quickly, but aside from that it's a nice little game.
You're right about having a good mouse though! I only have a touch pad on the laptop i'm using at the moment so that made it tricky.
