Reviews for "HomeRun!"
Really? Daily 3rd award? AND front page?
Did you pull any strings or did you get a bunch of your friends to vote high on this? I know Tom or Wade cannot put this submission on front page unless it passes the portal, so in that case, what is wrong with the people at the portal?!!? Maybe if this was your 1st submission I understand, but this is a lousy game!
When I first saw the thumbnail of the character, it looked violent because the dude had a semi psychotic smile, and this is newgrounds, so naturally it seemed like it would be violent. DEAD wrong. The first trial was ok, but it got old real quick, real fast. I understand with most reviewers that jumping was worthless. Left and right controls were ok, but jumping was pointless. It seemed like you just made him on become surrounded in flames when he jumped just to make him look "cool." You can't swing when you jump so there is no purpose in jumping.
The balls came at same speed which was boring, the flippin anouncer saying, "HOMERUN!!" was annoying and made me want to jam a pencil in my ear, the music baffled me as to how it would fit the game, and what the hell is with the background? I read your reply to another reviewer's question on jumping and you said people would complain that you could only have three controls (left, right, and hit). It's even worse that you made a useless button like the jump command. You were better off not including it.
Graphics were nice, but it can't carry the game alone. It needs something interesting, like multiple balls coming at one time, ability to move beyond just the window that you put (sort of like a platform game where there is more land than there is shown), power-ups, multiple lives (as in, you miss the swing, the ball nails you in the face and takes away some life points, or a baseball god from above is displeased and punishes you with a bolt of lightning).
Or even make it violent and make it a guy who uses a bat to beat up zombies or vampires or lawyers. This is newgrounds, where the few first games involved you bashing seals over the head till the head exploded, or you were killer whales playing volleyball with seals. This is a place for violent games and crazy twists.
The only congrats you are getting from me is this is the LONGEST bitch review I've ever typed.......so congrats!!! :) but your game makes me want to hurl :( so I give you a 1/5. Graphics won't cut it on a game submission.
WOW!!CRAP!!!!
I've played many kinds of games.From great to crappy games but damn it have i never once been so frustrated with a game.There i was 19 homeruns and then time's up.Thing is there was still time.The jump and running thing was mostly useless.How much did you need to bribe people to get this on the frontpage?
Horrible
Horrible, Glitch in practice mode where you walk off the screen and easy controls and hard to hit the balls. The guy's face was the only good part, and the loading screen was pretty good aswell
I don't think I want to know why this got fronted.
-Graphics: The backdrop looks nice and bland, especially the grass. It could be worse, though. 4/10.
-Style: Creepy smiling faces aren't so funny anymore, and that jumping "animation" is just weird. 1/10.
-Sound: The music doesn't loop, and "HOME RUN! HOME RUN! HOME RUN! HOME RUN! HOME RUN! HOME RUN!" 0/10. "HOME RUN!"
-Interactivity: I understand that you can move the guy closer to the right so you don't have to wait as long for each ball to fly within range of your swing, but why does it look like whoever's pitching them is aiming for the guy's head? Also, the only thing that made the last level unbeatable was how long you have to wait after hitting a ball before the next one comes. 4/10.
That "hershey's kiss mountain" idea is a bit of a stretch. Aside from that, I've got no clue what made this game front page material. I'm afraid the only advice I could offer about this game is to shorten the pitch delay after hitting a home run, and fix the music so it loops right. 1/10.
