a good way to show off a chain reaction game, but it is kind of...quick? a better approach would be levels and goals. until then, keep going with this idea.
Reviews for "Robot Reaction"
HybridMind responds:
Hey thanks for trying this game too! Yeah I know it is strangely quick for the genre. It was by design but I hear you on levels and goals. In fact I am currently working on a game this isn't pure chain reaction but it will be slower and based on that kind of format. Hopefully you'll see me launch it here in a couple months perhaps.
it's alright
Overall, the game is much too short and gets boring very quickly. The colors are bland and the music gets annoying after a minute of the same 5 second loop on the main page. I played through twice and it just seems like you are lacking something to grasp the players attention.
Try making it a bit more flashy, redo the music, add a few more elements to the gameplay, and in the end you may have a decent game.
HybridMind responds:
Thank you for your feedback. Why are you sitting on the main menu for so long though? ; ) Just kidding, yeah-- the dilemna in the flash world is balancing non-annoying music while limiting SWF file size. It's always a balance. I did my best to find some music for the main play area while destroying the robots that I felt wasn't too bad all thing considered. I was also gambling on the fact that I'd assume people wouldn't be lingering in the main menu for too long as there isn't much to see there.
Thanks.

I don't normally rate this low, but it wasn't fun. I want to say there is no skilled involved. Also it's short. I wasn't paying attention when I opened it and beat it in a few seconds.
HybridMind responds:
I'm sorry you didn't find it fun but that's cool. Thanks for trying it out and leaving your review. I am trying to work out the luck vs skill balance but it is quite a difficult line to walk in the chain reaction genre. I've still got a lot to learn for sure but I'm fairly pleased with how my experiment turned out so far. I'll be thinking about all the feedback for my next projects for sure. One other thing to point out is that this game isn't so much about 'beating it.' All plays of this game will end in 10 clicks each time. It is more focused on trying to improve your score through a combination of luck and (hopefully) some strategy. Thanks again!
its a bit like e4.
its interesting but next to impossible to lose.
HybridMind responds:
Yeah.. this game isn't really about losing or winning so much as it is about climbing the highscores. I know a lot of people aren't into that style of play so it's probably not a good fit for you. It is definitely a style of game play that I find compelling so I'm just trying to stay true to my tastes. Thanks for playing.
not really anything speacial
