Reviews for Highway Jumper

HHHAHAAHHAHAH but also kind of bad

you get 6 stars for the funny humour (of seeing a man attempting to jump over a car and failing so epically at it.) I loved the artwork.... detested the music, but everyones different, i guess.
Unfortunately the game concept is overall weak and its virtually unplayable (I don't know if this is your fault and the programmer, but the man's jumping would often lag after pressing the spacebar). I don't have anything against hard-to-the-point of imposible games, but for me, it would depend on how long the guy would 'choose' to wait to jump after I pressed the spacebar. Its kindof like playing rockband when the audio is slighty ahead of the notes.
Now I haven't ever designed a game, so i understand that I can't possibly preach to you about gamemaking, but what I and many non-designers on ng can do is compare the qualities of your work to others, which you should find very helpful and be happy for (even if people just put in "lame" cause at least they're being honest).
hope to see somethingplayable later,
And PS, if u make a sequel, include many more death scenes and different car dynamics/jumping moves, cause that would be sick!

Yes.

You. Can. Jump. Over. The. Car.

You just need to try, damn it. It took me a while, but i finally jumped 1 XD

What i think it needs its a Mute Button, Or just different music, It does get annoying.
And work a little more with the hobo's appearance.

It's a great game, you just need to work on the details

Over rated

I think this game is being way over rated. It's a good game, but not worth the front page or 10s. By giving it a 10, you're all saying that it is as good as all the other 10 rated games on newgrounds. I heavily doubt it.

1. there's a white car in the back heading towards the right and goes through another car....

2. graphics aren't that great

3. game play is simple...gets boring very fast

But on the other hand,
The people who are zero bombing this are freaking immature. I've seen games that are horrible that receive unbelievable ratings....

Good job and good luck on your next game.

OVER-rated?

ok, could do with some tweaking

Ok, the game is very repetitive, pretty tedious and no real goal to aspire to. Understandable your point on newgrounds was based on games like this, but that was a long time ago.

On the plus side, you actually have a great idea which could be taken a lot further then where it is right now. But nonetheless great effort and keep it up, hope to see a sequel!

Limited, but decent fun

A good way to kill a few minutes in the office, before I get to more in depth games, like "Toss the Turtle". Sadly, the gameplay is limited and the death animation of the retard getting ploughed over on the highway gets old pretty quickly - perhaps more deaths could be incorporated there.

I think that there is a chance of making this better, with the three lanes to choose from, so better, faster cars available to you to jump over that are worth more points and so forth. It's got a lot of promise for developing it further, so give it a shot and take it further.

The tune is annoying, so an option to change the track, or mute them altogether would be a brilliant thing.
