Hades47's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[In Utero]

eeehh..

I'll keep it short because I've seen you respond to anyone who doesn't try to praise this game like some sort of flash revolution...

plus:
Graphics are good +2
Music is good +2
power ups come quickly +3
many lives since the start +3
boss appears quickly +1

minus:
menu has no instruction whatsoever (no, the controlls aren't enough I kept running into what looks like background which turned out to be a wall that kills at touch) -2
concept (sucking up to the site's owner is understandable by me but for god's sakes playing as his [or ANYONE's] sperm is just acting like a freak) -4
gameplay (too fast too hard, I don't know whether it's the inadjustable difficulty or my pc lag but this is just too damn crowded) -2

other than that I don't know what to say... it's as if you used diamond-handled brush to paint a turd... just a sad waste of work :/

FetusFulp responds:

i don't care whether people like this or not. i care about what i can improve on. as long as people are helpful with their reviews, i will mostly not care about the score. look through the reviews more and you'll notice that i put in as much thought in my response as i think the person who reviewed it did with their review, with the exception of me ranting out stupid people who think this is youtube (or trolls).

i'll go through the minus's one by one:

as far as the walls go, i thought it was fairly obvious that you shouldn't run into the walls, but i never considered that people might think it's part of the background rather than the foreground. a few people complained about running into the walls, which is dumb in itself, but noting that it's because you thought it was a background element changes everything. thanks for bringing that up.

the concept wasn't about sucking up to Tom. in fact, when we started this project, we didn't have anyone in mind. i can understand you not liking the concept of playing as a sperm but i don't think it's, overall, a detriment on the gameplay. this is the one part of your review that i don't care for.

as for the gameplay, the lag could be caused by a bad computer, the browser, and my inefficient engine. it's coded in AS2 and it could definitely use some tweaking. if you play the game some more you'll find it gets easier to avoid things and beat it without dying as much. eh.

thanks for the review. it's odd that you can bring in a new insight 300+ reviews in, but you did it.
