[Button Game 8 (Madness)]

Different

Good job on this one, My honest opinion on this one is that this was fun and entertaining even amusing, This was one of those entries that was pretty amazing, and i really like the effort it shows off well and is full of energy. So i played one of the button games, before i think it was number five and that was pretty hard was only able to get a few medals from that one, You should make these button games save afile so that you can continue on from last point of death or something like that, the graphics are not too appealing but its more about the activity and randomness of the whole game. but anywaysit was fun regardless and had an alright time with it. I have to state the most obvious thing: everything flows well, and there's enough different stuff in it. Everything is done well, since it's clear what everything is doing and used for, so for me this was a pleasure and a good piece of a flash.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
I have made a few Recommendations but ill explain those later, I did like the focus and direction you have taken with this submission though, I also love how you Utilised things in this flash to work well and have a nice flow, And to start making things better here are some tips and ideas that could really make it better Adding some sort of save option to continue from where you left off from each end point would be a plus on this.

Seen these kind before

You have impressed this reviewer with this one, I found this thrilling at times and overall it was fun, Must have been great to finish this one, anyways you have made something here that everyone can enjoy. These games i have seen before and these can get pretty addictive just like this one now, now as i got into the game its pretty fun and its all a learning process as you findout new things and how to progress, the first challenge seems to be slightly harder then i thought, but overall this is a fun and addictive game. Even though the some of this review is critisism, don't take this as a negative review. The Flash is awesome, but can be much more awesome in my opinion. You really deserve more credit because i do know from experience that these take lots of time and effort.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
So always doing what i can to get some new and some improving ideas across the way here, I believe you have covered alot of things already and did some good detail here, allthough there are still some ideas and areas that could be added, and here is what i thought and came up with. With this kind of game i wouldnt mind a larger view screen so that you can have a larger maping out of track and such.

Fun and addictive

Not the kind of game i had thought it was, but the effort shown in this one shows that there is room for these kinds aswell as new ideas and concepts, But i do like what you have presented here, and hope you keep making these fun games. Fun game i was not expecting it to be this fun but it was pretty entertaining and with all the good color and bright colors it made it for a much more fun game so i was pretty impressed, the fun level of it all was pretty entertaining, the screen is kind of small but it was still ok. Its a quick and fast paced game sometimes frustraiting but still entertaining. So as i have played thousands of games alot like this one, They all seem simular in one way or another, But one way this seemed different was your direction and method of style, so with that i close this rebiew out Great job keep it up.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
alright so this is not my speciallty of flashworks to review on, but i think there are a few things and a few touch-ups that can be worked on, But with some extra attention this could be an even better product and end result. So some improvment ideas here i suppose you could add a larger screen, maybe some bonus stuff that could save you from mistake hats and such, but it would give it some more interest.

Hard yet fun game.

Like a big task you have put together lots of skill, lots of detail and lots of energy through-out this flash, And you have put lots of smiles on the viewers especially this reviewer, So props to you on a fun game here. So cute little game here, and i see that you have won anward from this already its pretty good and rewarding on the game, so congrats on the awards. I found this game to be fun and hard, the jumping was the hardest though, maybe you can have some better smoothing or slow motion type of stuff that might aid you in those things. but as you do practice on it you get the hang of it so maybe upgrades dont need it but might be a plus. Now while this is funny in what i say but these kind of games remind me of popping pop corn, because these types keep popping up in the portal, Now thats not a bad thing, But i like that you have changed this from just being normal to something different and unique,

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
So i found this one to be a well oiled and well engineered project, even with that said there are still some other clean up tips that can be suggested, and they can really help to make this one hell of an engineered project. Some upgrades might make this more easy and somewhat fun. so some slowmotion ideas some other type of rockets.

Decent

And here is something really amazing I love the effort this one shows aswell as the energy it must have taken you, So well done on this and my honest oppinion on this is that it was entertaining amusing and fun, so good job on this one. So at first this game was confusing still kind of got it though but this game was really hard even the first medal was hard to acheive, but overall i still had some fun with it, i wouldnt mind you adding some flashy effects and more colors to different size hearts and such, It wasn't a frustating game at all. Some games make the mistake of being too complicated after just a few levels. I guess I'm just better at these kinds of games. Even the name is cool. It doesn't mean much, but still cool. but in the end here you have presented a decent game.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
I am always trying my best on getting some positive ideas across the line here, But you have for sure covered most of it already, I think there are still a few areas and suggestions thatcould be made, So here is what i thought. So as mentioned some more effects like colors and effects would be nice. for some of the different size hearts.

Different and interesting

People dont really take the time to really check the portal and all that it has to offer, but i personally love looking for some nifty and unique pieces, And i have enjoyed what you have done here, and really hope you continue and make more things like this one. This game was interesting and has a really good mechanic about it, but was really hard to really get it down, maybe it was just me but it was a really interesting piece and fun but some areas were just confusing and ultimatly lost interest do to it but it was alright. you have a good design and really nifty concept. that was a very nice game. it took me a couple minutes to get the hang of the controls and to learn some other things, but once i did, then it was a lot more fun to play and i enjoyed it way more. the graphics were notbad but could possibly be better, good gameplay,

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Made yourself a name with this entry it seems, I thought it was entertaining yet also amusing to a point ofcourse, but mostly i thought it was pretty interesting, I do feel like you could change up a few things for the better though, And here is what i think could make things better. Maybe have some easy portions up front of the game rather then towards the middle and end.

GeneralVimes responds:

Thank you very much for such a detailed review! I'm working to make the sequel and I'll surely make it better! :)

Kind of addictive

So you have made something here that all can enjoy, and it must be great to finish something like this, the game was fun and even thrilling at times, you have impressed this reviewer. Before i continue on more into detail on the game and review, just wanted to say congrats on the award it was well deserving in my opinion. Also liked the fact that there was actually alot of medals, that really made it more interesting and fun, So as you get into this click and slash type of game it really gets fun but also intense, the graphics were pretty nifty, but it does tend to lag up if alot of activity is going on. there could also be a save file to continue your game, but other then that this was a fun and somewhat addictive game. I thought this was a really cool game. There was alot of nifty and entertaining elsements and things everywhere in this one, allthough you could add some stuff and cleanup some areas, for the mostpart this cameout pretty good.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
This kind of flash is for sure not my specialty, But ofcourse there are still some areas that you could touch up and such. With some more attention here and there you could really make this into something even more special, Some better instructions could be in place on how to upgrade stuff, and a possible save file on things aswell.

Nifty game

I am glad that the portal can bring such quality among all the sillyness, But its always nice to see stuff like this thru in a positive way, So props to you on a quality and entertaining game. OK so i can see why this game won some awards, first of all great job on the tutorial, that was probably the first tutorial i i see with naration in voice so that alone is a great job. I did find this game kinda tricky though and that fact that you cant continue was a downer, but i guess you do have to be faster in this game, overall fun but would have been better with a continue stage. It's so nice to be reviewing this kind of game when it's actually alot better then i thought, I was really intrigued as to how this was going to play out. It was about the same in terms of difficulty as most of these kinds of games are It didn't have that much to make it stand out, but it was still good.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
A well engineered game you have here, allthough there are some more steps you could take to clean it up even more, And i believe i have a few ideas that can help to make this an even more engineered project. Needs an option to keep playing and continue on, kinda like a 9 lives type of thing.

Needs fixing of medals

Now this kind of game is not what i had expected, but your effort has shown that there is room for new ideas and concepts, I like what you have presented here, so keep up the good game making. The game itself is fun, but the fact that the medals dont work was a real downer, and seems like thats something that really needs to be fixed, because overall it was a fun and entertaining game and even won an award it would be a shame tostop it now because the medals do seem fun. so try fixing the medals. I have no idea how I managed to miss this the first time it came on the Portal! It will probably be one of the most Interesting ones i have checked out in a long while.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
So i try my best on getting some good ideas across the board here, You have covered most of it though, But there are still a few areas that could be addressed, So here is my take on a few things Fix themedals so that they atleast work, that was about the onlything that this needs redoing.
