Reviews for Robot Reaction

[Athealis]

Too short, but great concept.

As far as playstyle goes, it's a very short game and there isn't so much motivation to keep playing after a game to get a higher score. I very much enjoyed the chain reactions and such though, and how the robots did different things. Maybe you could lengthen the game by having a quota each level, and having it so that players cannot advance until they reach it. It just seems a shame, because clearly you put a lot of work into the game, but i'd imagine it only holds most people's attention for about 2 minutes at most. I'll just speak for myself, my life sucks enough that 2 minutes of escape is insufficient.

HybridMind responds:

Thank you for the constructive thoughts and feedback. I agree that it feels pretty short. I wanted to get the concept far enough along to release and receive further feedback though before embarking on a larger design. I hope to address duration concerns with any followup games in this genre. I'm sorry that I didn't provide enough escape from your life, hang in there and thanks for playing!

Good, play on popular concept at moment

fair few of these chain reaction games going around at the moment, I like this one because cool robot figures your blowing up rather then random dots, little short, maybe next one should have a challenge it it like, kill 30 robots to pass to next level type thing, I like the way different robots explode in different ways, maybe document that in a how to play type thing, rather then people having to work it out after playing a few times.

HybridMind responds:

Thanks! Yeah, the chain reaction genre is always fairly popular. I've wanted to do one for a while but didn't want to just do another boom shine clone. I also like to think about game wrappers and polish a good bit so it was a fun opportunity to draw robots and sci-fi backgrounds for a change! ;) I like your suggestions and will likely increase the scope of any derivative projects that come out of the feedback I receive on this one.

fun fun

This game was short and sweet. Fun while it lasted, but don't you think you could have added something into the mix?

HybridMind responds:

Thank you for your review and for playing my game. I have quite a few more ideas for improvement of this game and will attempt to 'add more into the mix' in the sequel. If you have any specific ideas you'd like feel free to share them with me and you just may find them in the next game.

i like it ...but

good idea and all but its just way to short

HybridMind responds:

Thanks for taking the time to play my game and leave your review. Yeah, this game is pretty short it is true. I wanted to get some valuable feedback before attempting a larger scope game with this concept.

well ok

Maybe there should be more than just clicking once on a screen...

HybridMind responds:

Thanks for your thoughts. I was trying to make the style of chain reaction game where you only can click once but a follow up game will likely have more options.
