Reviews for Dodge the balls

[Skyetheangel]

Enough is enough

First of all, with your message to everyone on Newgrounds, you need to make sure to proof-read. "A lot" is two separate words with only one "l". This simple grammatical mistake only begins to compound with the rest of your game. For one, it is unoriginal and adds nothing new to this type of genre. The addition of a second player would be entertaining, but you need to include an instructions menu to explain to newcomers how to play.
Another problem I had with this game is the lack of any objective, you were to only dodge the balls as they came by? So they changed colour every so 1000 points or so, that does not justify having a poor FPS every time you touched the controls. Compound that with a background that does not make any sense... You need to go back to the drawing board, start over completely.
My recommendations, if you were to use this same premise as a game, would be to contribute something new. Say for example, the opportunity to buy upgrades to help build your ball into an invincible sphere?
As well, the game you designed needs to run a lot smoother. Perhaps spend more time developing this game, rather than spending only a few hours. Do you see the quality of work that exists in the top 50 contributions of Newgrounds? Those artists/developers spent hundreds of hours.

Please, don't waste any more of our time.

Instructions? For something this simple?

Yes. Something as simple as "Use keyboard arrows to move. Dodge." will do. Otherwise this is a classic game that you have made your own...but it needs work.

Add music. I would suggest something 8-bit, but your call.

I assume the slowing down while you're moving (or speeding up when you're still, depending on point of view) is intentional, but I would vote against it. Keep it as a toggle, or as an unlockable.

I like the "level change colour change", but I would vote on a background change rather than a ball colour change, or do both, just to keep things interesting. That's about it. Good luck.

It was alright.

Good for a first game, but I hope you make better games.
