This is quite impressive considering you've been programming for only a few short weeks. That doesn't make it a good game, but it proves you have the aptitude to do so. The short quips managed to keep me playing for a while, and the challenge of making it to the next star before it disappeared was (slightly) captivating. I suggest adding some kind of fail-state when you miss too many stars, and a way to mix up the gameplay. Perhaps by making certain stars alter the way you move around the map? Like one that makes you jump a square, and another that makes you move in the manner of a knight in chess. Throw in some kind of opposing force, and maybe even some form of progression, and you've got yourself an entertaining experience! Thanks for taking your time to make games for NG, and I wish you the best of luck in future endeavors!

Thank you very much for the advice and input! I'll take all of that into consideration, work on my sprites, and I'll implement those features one by one. It's good to see something that isn't flaming. I'm new to Newgrounds as well, so I'm surprised to see some strong community going. Thank you again!

This game is pretty fun. I like each of the powerups, and especially like the feeling of nailing a perfect triple-shot triple-hit. The way the powerups are designed means they can combine their abilities, which made me play till I got every combination, just to see how cool they each were. On the flipside of the powerup diversity, however, is the actual challenge of the game, the boulders. They are all the same, and always fly at the same speed, on the same several paths, and with the same texture and animation. The most annoying part of the boulders is when they enter the screen from the very edge, meaning if you hadn't prefired, you're going to take a hit. Overall, it's a very fun game that needs a bit of diversity past the powerups to keep interest held long.

Thanks for the specific feedback. Very helpful and even grammatically correct! Not typical of the internet...

This game is passable. It has everything a game needs, and only what it needs, to be entertaining. It managed to get me to play it a few times, but after reaching 10K points, I soon got bored and quit. The game is easy if you're cautious, but if you aren't, the controls will invariably kill you. It is very responsive, but moving speeds are jarringly different for forwards and backwards movement. The death animation also is jarring. I nearly jumped from my chair the first time it played. This game needs something to make it last. It needs things like powerups, more than one enemy type, health pickups, levels... see where this is going? This game is a working game, but it is far from a complete game.

This is quite possibly the most incredible rendition of Minecraft I have ever seen outside of the actual game! The amount of work that has been put into this is astounding, and I appreciate the attention to detail given to this game! If any game deserves a solid 5/5, it's this, thanks for making this awesome game Zanzlanz!

Zanzlanz responds:

Wow thanks so much Crzymn777!

Thank you for the 5/5! :D
