Listen2Reason's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ice Beak]

It says "use keyboard to move and shoot" but WHICH keys? Are you guys allergic to instructions or something?

[Barbarium]

Pretty fun, reminded me a lot of old games like Rygar and Rastan.

Hypnohustler responds:

Thanks! :)

[Bulb Boy]

Oh, wow! You have to make careful jumps to get to the end of the level! I've never seen anything like THAT before.

[3 Pandas 2. Night]

I have no idea what to do, and the "help" button just goes to your website.

[Survive Or Die]

Doesn't work. Keys don't do anything.

androidmt319 responds:

Movement seems to only work if you do not click outside the game.

[Rainbogeddon]

It's a pretty good idea and seems well executed, but only ONE hit and you have to start ALL over? That just makes it frustrating.

Nitrome responds:

Pick up any power up and it acts as a second hit

[Robot Phone Home]

Oh boy, another "atmospheric" platformer...

[A small talk]

It seems okay, but I never know when I'm supposed to type. I mean, some text appears, then I read it...then I think, okay, I'll type something. So I click in the box--and then MORE text appears. So obviously that wasn't the right time to type. Okay, I read the text, think of something to type, click in the box--AND MORE TEXT APPEARS. When is it MY turn to type?

[Iromeku]

First of all, why did you make it colors and not numbers? I have to keep flipping back and forth to see which numbers they are. Not to mention that it took me several minutes to figure out HOW the numbers changed each other. And secondly, it's not a very intuitive type of puzzle. You really just go on and on trying different combinations until you hit upon the right one.

josh-tamugaia responds:

Numbers = math = unpopular.
You don't have to use the guide to solve the puzzle... I think I should have deleted the damn guide.
Yes, you go on trying combinations, but the unique part is how you try the combinations. If you randomly drag the squares, you'd be quite frustrated. If you narrow down and try to match the tiles one by one, the game would be more enjoyable. There are even some occasions during my own testing when I stumbled upon combinations different from the original solution that could solve the puzzle.

But then again, I do realize that the game is not for everyone. Hence the Warning that I put in the description.

Nonetheless, I thank you for your valuable input.

All right, the presentation is nice, but it doesn't really seem playable. First, it's annoying when games don't have instructions in them, but I guess having them in the description is okay. But it still didn't help; you say to 'Jump with Up/W', which is fine, but it gets to the point where that doesn't help any more. If you're going to make a one-button game it needs to be more intuitive than this.
