Hobgoblinlord's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Wild West Reaction 2]

Something to work with here.

First let me say I love the ability to challenge people on the leaderboard, even though it is not truly multiplayer it adds a sense of community to the game. the graphics are nice but not great.

There are times in the game where the wait period between READY and DRAW is far to long, I understand wanting to get a good sense of reaction time but I really don't like staring at the word ready for 10 seconds, it takes me out of the game and feels like I am waiting for a slow web page to load which is very frustrating. I think the ready and draw would greatly benefit from an overhaul to make them far more obvious (the red blends in) A nice graphic with a clean stroke on the outside would look alot nicer and be less tiring on the eyes.

The game needs a little more to it in the single-player mode, like a series of ever faster gunmen to battle, perhaps an upgrade or two (a way to do more damage and a way to take less damage).

The game is a good start and could be alot better.

This review is not good, its just plain wrong.

I can se from your games that you are into nice graphics, just dont forget to make a game also. After all, pictures alone is worthless if it's a game you are making.

The progression is already there in the challenge option, if I made a second kind of progression in difficulty, it would/could take away the focus from the competition among players, and that is actually the aim of this game.

About the ready draw wait period, hey! you have just bin unlucky, get over it.

[Pinch Hitter 2 Full Game]

pretty dam good

I like it, have spent alot of time playing. The graphics are great and gameplay is easy to understand. I wou;d have liked an option to shut off the player cursing though. I am stuck on level 7 15,000 is tough to get without at least 3 homers and not messing up on a swing. Something odd I noticed is that you get more power the closer you hit to the end of the bat, rather than the sweet spot of the bat a little further down. A pause option would be useful as well.

Thanks for the feedback - and the idea of a "pause" option's a good one. We'll aim to take it on board in future games.
