Hmm

this is pretty much exactly skyroads but with a ball ... even the menus are the same. At least you're not hiding this 'inspiration' but it would have been nice to have a graphical overhaul or something. I loved skyroads so I'm not going to moan too much :)

cheers

Fantastic

Made even better by the story - a lot of thought's gone into this one! Would like it to be a bit longer with some trickier puzzles.

Good conclusion too.

Oh and hey Luca - didn't know you were still around on NG - remember me? :)

Whoah

That was just awesome. I love the medals

fun but...

This game was a lot of fun, but so frustrating in quite a few ways... There were several occasions where you just couldn't see anything - can't see the ball when it's white on white, and the MASSIVE COMBO TEXT got right in the way... It's not hyper, it's just irritating.

Also, need to have some buffer on either side - when its going fast you can't help but over-shoot the frame with your mouse. If you go to the left or right too fast and the mouse leaves the focus of the game then the paddle will stop - sometimes in the middle of the screen, thus causing death.

Plus, big clickable link to your sponsor in the corner? that killed me a couple of times too.

That aside, it was a great idea and a really fun twist on the original... the different characters on the top were great. Could have done with a few more powerups like in the original.

I think you could really have a winner of a sequel on the way.

Brilliant

Wallace and Gromit inspired my career choice - I've been a fan from the beginning and it's what I'm most looking forward to on Christmas day! Cheers Aardman

[Doom Triple Pack]

IDDQD

HAHA the cheats work - what's more worrying though is that I can still remember them from when I used to play :|

Details like this earn you a 10

Little Big Adventure next please! Good times...

[Newgrounds Pass 3]

nice

enjoyed that - secret areas were fun to find too - didn't get 2 or 5 though :(

[(Twisted) Cooking Mama]

Good

The game was enjoyable (despite the bug you mentioned on minigame 2!) and it is well worth bringing this sort of thing to light. In the UK we've got loads of campaigns (mainly for chickens) trying to get people to buy free-range. I think that's a better angle than getting people to go veggie... Free range meat tastes a hell of a lot better anyway.

Anyhoo keep up the good work!

push the button

great fun - 32 mins it took me and now I really should get back to work...

[The irRegularGame of Life]

Addictive

Gah - Maths problems are frustrating! Some of these were pretty hard - I got a few of the real hard ones but had to use the codes twice. Thanks for the fat marmot!

Yeah that marmot is the bomb ;)
