Free2Play's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pong v2]

As much as I like that you made a fully functioning pong, this begs for some modern imagination. I guess if you just called it pong I'd be cool, but v2 makes me wish there was some twist to the game. Like Plasma pong.

falariem responds:

Yeah, I made an error in naming it. For it being "v2," I more meant that it wasr my second crack at it, a few years after the first attempt. Time kinda slipped away from me, and I haven't been able to work with AS that much in the interim.

I think if the game a bit more of a puzzle element to it where you need to find out what to do it would've been a little more interesting as a game.

That being said I really love this game, and I see some people are complaining about the fruit at the beginning but to me that was the most compelling part. From a artistic game design standpoint it really made a statement to me about how Adam and Eve must have felt with the fruit. It was there, how were we not going to eat it! It was placed there almost as if you were supposed to, as was everything else. It makes quite a statement on early biblical tales.

Please keep making games.

MikeSalyh responds:

Thank you! Yes, a few, deeper puzzle elements seem to be in order. I'll keep that in mind for my next submission. Huzzah!

I actually liked this quite a bit. While the controls were a bit tough, it was understandable for how you should play the game. But one suggestion is to make the 1st level less hard. I think if you started out with as many long runs and slow easing in turns as possible then the player would have more room to screw up and then be more excited as the levels got harder.

Also when the car blows up I think it'd be nice if there's at least half a second of explosion before the music. It feels weird when you're racing fast and then suddenly music starts playing and you realized you died.

UltimoGames responds:

last level like Monaco with walls everywhere :p Or high up in the mountains where you can drop into oblivion :) Thank you for the useful comments, I will put it in the next version of this game!

I do really enjoy the gameplay and the simplicity, but a game like this doesn't really need such a difficult and even frustrating gameplay experience. It shows potential in how you explore, but its better suited for a more casual experience.

And a personal point, I wasn't a fan of the prose at the bottom, it seemed a little pretentious or maybe its just hard to really think about it when you're trying to thread a needle to get to the end lol.

Besides that I really like it, its very interesting and has potential to be a lot more and say something interesting with the gameplay.

Thanks for the comment. I made the game easier to play, so if you haven't yet gotten the good ending, you can give it a shot.

Super simple but you really thought out your level design! Like any good game I was hooked pretty fast and really wanted to beat it!

StuartsPixels responds:

Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed it :)
