[Nooball Adventure V0.2]

Well it just feels unfinished. This would be a great 1st game, if it is.

Graphics are a bit too simple, a good rule of thumb is to spend as much time in graphics as in code. The graphics aren't bad, but they are just very simple.

The motion seems okay to me. The hit detection was frustrating though. The enemy balls seemed to hit me from about 5-10 pixels away. Meanwhile, if you jump at the wrong time you fall straight through tiny moving platforms, even if you land right on them. This could be improved by adding an invisible box of the same length but greater width (e.g. stretch it down), or by finding a better way to perform hitTests.

All being said, this is not a bad game, just needs a few more levels, more complex art, and better hit testing.

And if you have time achievements are always fun :)

I'll make the V0.3 soon, and I'll edit the graphics, thanks for the idea :)

its just pong...

this is pretty much exactly like playing pong with a few programming errors. its not even addicting like pong is. you probably put alot of work into this, which sucks, because it wasnt fun and sometimes it didnt even make sence. try again.

oversword responds:

sometimes the ball jumps about cos of the CPU usage and crashing and stuff. could turn the quality down to low next time. u seem to be the only person who has actually waited for it to load. its not completley like pong. u can move about more, and i have power ups. and the AI can move around too. what were the errors?! please tell me and i will try my best to sort them out. come on u cant say it sucks...i mean its pretty good?

actually really fun

at first I expected this game to be just like all the other collecting ones, but its not really. instead of you getting bigger everything else does haha. It was really addicting and fun to play though, the only thing is that some times my computer lagged when the backround changed, but it wasn't a big deal. the backrounds were really nice by the way, really matched the music and the gameplay in my opinion. Really good job, Im glad this got front page, it deserves every second of it. anyone that votes below a 4/5 is ridiculous, but all my five belong to this. good luck with future flash!

Thanks for the feedback. I should have made the background switches cross fade to make them less abrupt.
