pythagoras's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[CC Fight Club]

Sorry guys

Although you did a good job, I expected a lot more from it. Brian, I know you're a terrific scripter, and that this was indeed rushed. But to give an honest review (and not lick your ass) the game is about as much fun as plucking hairs from my scrotum. The controls, the speed, the collision detection, and what really makes a fighting game, the gameplay balance simply wasn't there.

I don't really think a fighting game is something you should have rushed. As a halfassed fighter really simply isn't much fun. I can see this being a great game with a bit of polish, a few tweaks and some general improvments. Graphics were great. :)

cableshaft responds:

I never claimed it wasn't rushed :). There's so many minor bugs in the game its unreal. And even a couple major ones.

And because it was rushed, we didn't have a lot of time for gameplay balance. I knew from the start it would suffer in that category. Orange Clock and Bio are a little too powerful, for example. The controls aren't great because I didn't have time to optimize the graphics so it lags and doesn't register the special moves well (except in low quality).

The speed I don't feel so bad about since I intended this to be more of a tactical, slower-paced fighter like fights in the movie were, and not some button mashing speedfest.

And yes, the collision detection needs some work, but I thought I did a pretty decent job with that aspect, at least.

I really value your opinion, and you've always been a cleaner actionscripter than I have been (at least it seems that way). If you like, hunt me down to chat sometime and you can help me improve the game.
