[Benny's Adventure]

Poor controls and unrealistic medal times

This game falls into the trap that many producers make, trying to make a game hard and not enjoyable. There are countless flash games where the difficulty factor is high and enjoyment level low. Benny's Adventure is one of these games.

Poor controls and hit detection also hurt this flash. The time requirement on the medals should be raised by 10 to 15 seconds each. If you miss one jump you have no chance of turning on the heat in thirty seconds.

Please try harder in the future ,and use more play testers. I will volunteer to beta test if I am needed.

The graphics were nice. Would of been nice to hear more than one song.

I think this is more an issue of you not liking difficult games than me not trying hard. The fact that the controls are difficult to master is something that I put in on purpose; The same goes for the hit detection. The fact that you dont like them doesnt make them poor. To get the <30 sec medal you are allowed to miss one jump; and frankly; its not supposed to be easy.
I used plenty playtesters; I appreciate the offer, but your undoubtedly amazing testing skills will not be needed..

Thanks for the comment on the graphics.

[Escape from ice mountain]

Excellent short game

I know this game was made in 72 hours, but you did an excellent job. The graphics were great, and I did not find any glitches. Escape from ice mountain is a short and sweet flash. Good luck in winning the competition. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

MonoFlauta responds:

Great, thanks for the review :) If we make good in the competition will be a second part for sure :)

[Notepad Drawing Collab 2010]

The medals are really difficult this year. It takes away from enjoying the art, when you struggle to find the medals. The Collab is nice, but please do not make the medals so difficult to obtain. Once I obtain the medals, I can relax and just enjoy the art.

Music and art are wonderful. I did not like the navigation panels. I really enjoyed the Iron Man,Captain America and Wolverine art. Could we have more of that next year?

The medals work, and I earned them all.

JKAmovies responds:

There is a possibility, we'll see ;)

[Newgrounds medals: EXT]

Good Work

Good work on making a nice flash. Your English was excellent. I always enjoy seeing myself in a flash game. :)

EventHorizon responds:

thanks :)

[Trick-or-Treat Adventure!]

Good game but do the Medals work?

I have played and beaten this game twice, but have not received the medals. The game awards them, but they do not show up on my profile. Has anybody else noticed this?

The game is fun and I recommend it to others.

Mockery responds:

usually playing in popup mode fixes that problem.

[Pointe Blance BETA]

I like this shooting game.

I like this shooting game, it is a lot of fun. I look forward to the complete work and if you need a play tester..please let me know.
