BoMToons's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Stigg's Veggie-Matic]

Wow

This game was so fun I was actually laughing out loud giddilly from the excitement and the little guy saying "Eat your Veggies!"

I think you did a great job at making this game easy to learn, impressive graphics, and your balancing of difficulty is a great solution to the 6-12 yr old dilemma.

The story was delightfully ridiculous too, I think the kids are gonna love it.

Really superb job!

WarpZone responds:

Thanks. :D

[Cryptic Cave: Wiggi-World]

Really Fun

This was a very novel idea and executed very well. The random level combinations give it great replayability, and the mechanics make it something with lots of room to master over time. The music is really good too along with a nice clean menu and enjoyable sound effects. My only criticism is with the main character's graphics, since he's not really animated, I think you could have devoted a bit more time into making him really polished. Overall extremely impressive game!

AndrewMartin responds:

Thanks a lot, i'm glad you like it =]

And i actually thought the same thing about the main character, and tried things like flipping him around based on the direction you're flying in, but it was fairly clear that it wasn't going to work without being properly animated. I'm primarily a programmer, but i am capable of simple animation like that given a bit of time (as you can see on my deviantArt account)... just that in this case i didn't have enough time left =/

Ah well. At least the particle effects mean that there's always something going on =]

[Wiggi Dance Academy]

Whoa!

This was extremely impressive. You took the Wiggi style to a whole new level! The Art was utterly astonishing, I can tell you put some serious time into this. The game itself was fun too. I'm glad your tutorial was so well done and actually taught me to play. This almost brings a tear to my eye to see a game in the contest executed so well.

Wonchop responds:

Thanks. You wouldn't believe how alienated people were when I showed beta versions of this without the tutorial. XD

[The Aventures of PB-Man]

FUN!

This was a really fun mini-game, and the art was fantastic! I also enjoyed that the storyline was relevant to Wiggi World's mission. Superb!

[Bushy's Cleanup Crusade]

Loved it

This is a really great and original concept, I loved the problem solving aspect and mixed with platformer elements really makes it something special. It runs a little slow at times, and the slow energy recharge made me a little stir crazy. The graphics are really complete, though they're probably the only part I could see having a lot of possible improvement on especially the menus. Overall, great job!

Oh, and the contest doesn't end until the 10th so I don't know what that other guy was smokin'

smokinjoeevil responds:

Thanks for the review. Definitely glad you liked it... and I completely understand about the menus. Thinking back on it, I was so concerned about trying to nail the abilities and make some interesting and entertaining level enhancements (like the mushrooms and the goats)... the more directly impactful, creative aspects, that I seem to have skimped on the polish of the menus.

Also, I realized a bit to late that the energy-bar start amount and re-charge were a bit too tight. I made a change to the version uploaded on here that gives the player a bit of a boost with each colected piece of garbage, which should alleviate the issue almost entirely for anyone not trying to explore the entire screen/level. Am I allowed to submit such a change to the FLA back to you?

[Super Wiggi-Ball!]

Very Nice

This game is really good...I can tell a lot of thought and talented programming went into it. I enjoyed the storyline and the opponent progression, and the gameplay is very original and unique. In my opinion, the kids are gonna love this on Wiggi World, you're right when you say that the complainers are underestimating them, 10 year olds will play this game for hours.

My only small complaints are with the gameplay balancing, I think some of the moves could be tweaked to make them more useful/effective for the player so that more strategy instead of luck is involved...overall, great job...I can tell already that judging this contest is not gonna be fun...

[Wiggi Woods]

Great!

Have I mentioned how glad I am to see REAL games being submitted for the Wiggi World contest? This was a great adaptation of your gravoor series for kids. I enjoyed playing it and I think the kids on Wiggi World will too. Nice work!

[Wiggi Fire Mission]

Awesome!

This is a GREAT submission for the contest. Very nice work. Your graphics mesh well with the premade characters, the levels were well designed and entertaining with a good learning curve. The animation was simple, but suitable. I'm so glad to see a real COMPLETE game being entered in the competition!

Banjax responds:

Wow, thanks very much. Means a lot.

[Newgrounds Rumble]

Great stuff

I thoroughly enjoyed it...deserves top 50. Polished in every aspect (except for those non-embedded fonts lol ;))

MAGNUM OPUS!

[Potion Panic]

Get an artist and you're gold

This was a really inventive and entertaining game...the only thing I felt it was lacking was good art and menus...you've shown your talent in coding and game design, now let's see something with polished art and I think you'll make a huge splash.

Really, really great concept.
