SlingBang's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Letter for Mimi]

I finished your tutorial a week ago and was pleased to see the finished game here. The colors were much nicer in the tutorial. This game's colors really hurt my eyes. However, the tutorial was excellent. I recommend people new to Flixel try it. There are a few errors in the tutorial however, perhaps due to it being written in Flixel 2.43 and I'm using Flixel 2.5. Most solutions I managed to figure out online, except ALL the characters use the same image... If I can figure that one out I might submit a game soon as well. 4 stars for the helpful tutorial!

kcnh responds:

The colours may indeed look a bit harsh, I might have overshot the retro look I was trying to achieve. Thank you for your review. I am looking forward to playing your game! :)

This was funny and original, then boring. If you had only used your unemployment time to add more funny things for him to say or different animations of beer drinking, or get him drunk and he falls off couch, mother yelling at him in background... anything! I'd have given 4 stars.

Lare responds:

This is a statement.

Looks nice, a n fresh change on graphics and style from tutorials. Interesting challenges. Unfortunately I can't even beat the second level. I keep falling down the many holes near backward slides... Tried level 2 so many times, finally gave up. Very steep difficulty curve but still fun to play.

BodoFragins responds:

Yeah, I'm really realizing that hard levels are easy to make but good levels are a chalange. Replaying I realize some of my designs are way to hard and the only reason I can beat them is because I built them and tested them so much. Lesson learned. Thanks for the feedback! :D

Edit: I made a walkthrough for the game if that would help at all:

That was fun, very 80's style. Just as good as my Atari was. And to think we used to pay $60 to buy games like that. Lucky kids today get it for free! The 2 speed shifter seemed dumb at first but then it became part of the challenge. Also, the trees were flickering but that's bc you're driving so FAST! The dialogue was hilarious and the gameplay top notch. Even a high-score chart. A perfect revival!

arryscoopus responds:

Thanks for the comments. I'm glad the 80's style was not lost on you, as that's exactly what I was aiming for. The 2 speed shifter was an after add, for sure. I just felt like it needed "something else" in the gameplay and I seemed to recall a few of the arcade cabinets having a high/low stick shift back in the day! Once again, thanks for taking the time to post.
