Listen2Reason's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Prion X]

It's kind of cool, but the control scheme is unusual. Usually I figure W up, A left, D right and S down...not W forward, S back, etc.. Also, I don't like that you have to keep clicking to shoot...so much clicking. Why not have the player shoot continually as long as you hold the mouse button down?

HartfordGames responds:

Thanks.
Yeah I realize now that the instructions are not clear for the unusual controls. The constant clicking is tiring...not sure how to deal with that yet. I will try your solution of holding the mouse button and see if that feels good or introduce breaks between the zombie waves.

[Beast's Fury Chibi]

Oh, RPS. Yay?

Evil-Dog responds:

Yup!

[2030]

You've got a good base for a game here, but...How am I supposed to complete a quest to destroy 10 floating rocks when I've destroyed them all already? Why is the world so small? Why am I suddenly flying so slowly? Oh wait, it's fuel--I didn't even realize it was running out. How do I get more fuel?

zzulian responds:

rocks are regenerated automatically, so look the map to find others one. Go to shop, to get more fuel.

[Sci-Fi Runner]

It's all right, I guess. Are the enemy placements random? It seems like, a lot of times, I would start the game and there would be enemies immediately, before I was even told how to shoot. So I kept dying before I could go through the tutorial section.

Hazneliel responds:

Im fixing it right now

[Pico: Will It Slice?]

It's okay. However, a lot of times when I get to the end of the level I seem to get stuck. I can't move or shoot, although I can move my mouse to aim; I just sit there on the ending door waiting for something to happen.

io3creations responds:

Strange. I haven't encountered that and so far no one else mention that issue. I wonder if it has to do with Flash Player version or internet browser ... or something else?

[Lokani Space Ball]

Eh. I'm in no danger of being addicted.

Why can't I use the number keys to switch colors? That seems a lot easier than clicking the right one...

lokani responds:

:) You should be able to use the 123 on the keypad, not sure why it doesn't work on the actual keyboard. Thanks for playing!

[Under Soul]

Controls? Instructions?

CastEclipse responds:

Sorry about the instructions. But since you only need to use the arrow keys, I thought that it was unnecessary...

[Pong Classic Open Source]

If most of the controls use the keyboard, why do I have to "clic" to start?

travelinthegame responds:

because flash player requires a clic to activate keyboard focus

[Pixel Pete]

1) Despite the instructions, grabbing the platform doesn't work, so I can't pass the first level. 2) I ALMOST shut down the game after watching the first death cutscene. I still think it's a bad idea, though at least you let us skip it after the first time. There's another problem, though, which is that you have to use the MOUSE to skip. So you have to go back and forth, keyboard, mouse, keyboard, mouse, it's really inconvenient.

Doooomguy responds:

Yeah, I only put a death cutscene on the first level (as a sort of joke) so the mouse to skip was added pretty quickly (I didn't think many people would die on the first level to be honest!), also about the platform grabbing, the controls are a little touchy - you have to press it at the right time. I wanted it to start of by having you use a little skill to use your freerunning ability, and then as you progress further and unlock more powers, ledge-grabbing becomes much easier.

Controls? Instructions?

dylan responds:

life has no instruction. take control of how you live.
