Alias-Visk's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Chromium]

Normaly I don't like this kind of game...

... because I'm kinda bad at them, but that's beside the point. My gripes are that even at higher levels, the power-ups were still a bit sparse whit how busy the field was, and the delay on chaining from defeated enemies' explosions. The player's timing needs to be pretty precise to get a chain from moving foes, and getting more than a x2 or x3 chain seems to be pure luck.

That being said, I do enjoy this. The simple visuals work quite well for the game, and the trails left on the background feel like a nice touch, and it is nice that your ship has a small pull radius for collecting chromium. Also, a big plus for the levels melding together so easily. All in all, this is pretty solid, though an upgrading system of some fashion (scoopeman's sounds like a fair idea to me) would help keep the player engaged.

ChromeShark responds:

Thanks for your detailed review. Originally enemies had a much higher chain delay, but I hadn't thought to cut it out completely, maybe that would've worked better. A lot of people have requested an upgrade system - I expected this a bit and would definitely consider one if I made another game like this.

Rough around the edges

First off, you CAN rotate the blocks. Press the up arrow.

Graphics: Not a whole lot of variety, but what's there is impressive.

Style: A tetris game were you keep a moron from killing himself? It's certainly a twist on the genre, but why save the little dunce?

Sound: Clicking and pseudo-explosions... meh. It's okay, but next time, maybe get something a little better. The line-clearing sound gets old pretty quick.

Violence: A kid shooting himself. 'Nuff said.

Interactivity: It's a game, of course it's interactive! Simple controls keep it from being bogged down.

Humor: Meh... I didn't laugh at it.

Overall: It's a good framework, I'll give you that. A bit of deth in some areas wil make your next project even better.

Oh, and a little side note... you might want to invest in a better translation software, 'cuz Google only works so well. Not that we can't get the general idea of your words across... there's a lot of idiots out there who only type in half-assed sentences. But you, at least, have a valid excuse.
