really not that great
Reviews for "MALLEO"
SunOh responds:
Hm.
My poor rating of your game is based on many factors (I reached, but could not complete, level 3) and hope that my feedback is appreciated:
The Criticism:
1. The language: Do not rate your game everyone, especially if you 'swear' in the game description. While a 13+ year old recognizes that language as appropriate, it puts a bad image on the site, and the game's creator(s) especially. You give an even worse image by also calling losers idiots; while I understand the humor behind a mean narrator, and it can be quite funny, your game does not develop the narrator enough, and considering that few people will even get past level 1 with the lack of instructions, its just plain mean and not as humorous as it could be.
2. The lack of instructions: while it is not necessary to give an obviously controlled game instructions, it is still preferred. Unfortunately, as I have never played a game where 'A' is the jump key, many people will most likely become frustrated and just abandon the game entirely before getting to explore it. Along with the fact that my enemies can hurt me yet a cannot kill them, and the lack of a game menu in general, the user feels completely confused and neglected.
The Props:
3. Although the summary is not entirely to my taste, I am happy that you acknowledge the low quality of your game, I had to give you an actually poor rating because of this as to acknowledge the better-made games on this site, but I felt that you still deserved some kudos.
4. Good concept, underdeveloped, but decent regardless
5. I appreciate the attention to detail animation wise; while somewhat poor graphics led me off at first, I appreciated the blinking Mario, mobile enemies, and spinning coins. While the enemies need better graphics the backgrounds look somewhat nice.
Summary:
While your game is poor quality, it exhibits a hidden level of skill that has high potential but lack of effort. I understand that we all need to post a few 'crabby' programs to train our skills, I have to rate you poorly as to allow the truly proud creators to show off their creations. Be more proud of what you created, since very few people can create games (I still want to but lack the graphic-incorporating knowledge and the resources). While this is novice work, you have to be a novice before you can be an expert!
SunOh responds:
1. I'm not like that anymore.
2. Forgot. I apologize.
3. Uh... thanks.
4. Reasonable.
5. Reasonable.
Summary: Making on better games :)
You can jump use the 'A' key too jump
SunOh responds:
Yep.
Well, I see it's called Malleo for a reason. Why would you think it's a good idea to post something you know is terrible.
I admit to making the mistake a while ago, too. But, just keep this in mind for the future, only submit something if it's of good quality or bad out of irony (which is not always a good idea).
SunOh responds:
Newgrounds isn't a wasteland full of crap, and it will never be. I know that.
This game is just plain terrible, for one thing you can't kill any of the enemies yet they can kill you, the final boss is way too easy, there's no music or medals, it looks like you made it in three minutes, and you can beat it in only one second if you right click and hit play. Terrible game and I can also see why a lot of people hated this when it originally came out. I will give you half a star for giving us the advice in the description.
SunOh responds:
I actually made it for 3 days or a week or something. It is an old, old project so I understand if it's a piece of crap.
