Royal-Harmonica's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Lumera Numbera's PUZZLE POP]

yeah I figured the cheese strat. Make 50k on level 1 and then beat the rest as soon as possible. Kinda lame. Good game though, but I guess now I won't play it no more...

tonyfinale responds:

i FEARED someone like you would appear one day.......... I KNEW this was possible, I just assumed no one would ACTUALLY BOTHER what with most folk seemingly having trouble with the timer speed as it is...

SO to thank you for pointing out this potentially lame dominant strat, I HAVE GONE and tweaked the timer EVER SO SLIGHTLY so that you now regain less time and the drain speed becomes A LIIITTLE faster if you pop too many bubbles after the goal appears.

I'll probably try to keep tweaking this kind of thing actually. I certainly don't want to incentivize any experts to play the game kinda lame like that... <3

BUT I ALSO DON'T WANT THE GAME TO BECOME EVEN MORE UNREASONABLE FOR NEWCOMERS EITHER.... gamedevving is tough....

anyway. thanksmuch for playing to that point~

I hope there wasn't any Russian spyware watching my reaction as I played this

Nah. You'll get Unovan spyware made by Team Plazma.

St4rryQueen responds:

What would you suggest I add?

[Portal Defenders: Fast Break!]

The game is pretty cut and dry so my review will be cut and dry too.
.
Portal Defenders: Fast Break might be the most visually amazing game on Newgrounds. From the animations, to the scenary, to the specials and even the menus. Pretty good, now for the bad part; this might be the most boring game I played in a long while.
.
For most of my 1 hour playing this I was appreciating the music and the little details of each level. That's probably the most interesting part of the game since gameplay is lacking. The enemy AI is pathetic. The controls are precise but not functional. The second I figured the controls the game was over. I played all levels hoping it would get harder but it never did. All I met was new levels with gimmicks that made them more annoying than fun. After Nevada I just made one point and sat there with the ball in my hand and waited for the match to end, because the opponent would only react after a minute.
.
It's a very "nice" game, but I don't see myself playing this again. Portal Defense was leagues better than this, but I still believe the sheer effort on the visuals make this a 5/5.
.
Also give Corey a raise

VoicesByCorey responds:

You heard them! Raise! Now!
