Grappler Review

Pros: Great use of examples, the sound was good
Cons: Not all gfx is your own (not that big of a deal), first level is very hard as a first level
An Awesome first game
gfx- the graphics were alright, the blocks were pretty good too and so was the main character ball. Most people don't like the use of GM resource graphics in games (but its your first game and that's what they're there for, hey even i did it in my first game...)
sound- the sound in this game is pretty good, it has background music and has sound for many things.
Gameplay-the gameplay is pretty good, and it involves swinging a ball to a goal, with obstacles in the way. It was fun, but dying 5 times on the first level was quite annoying, you should make a easier first level and gradually make it harder.
Story- It's an arcadey game, it doesn't need one.
Interface- the simple mouse controls, the use of a tutorial and an in-game help and a easy to use menu with quite a few options in difficulty make me give this game a five for interface.
Overall this is a VERY good first game, congrats!

by "not all gfx your own" i didn't mean sprites, i meant some of the backgrounds. I thought i should clear that up. I dind't take any stars off for that because it was only one or two backgrounds.

thanks, i drew all the sprites my self, and yes the levels are hard, i can't fix it since it's in a comp but i'm working on grappler2 which will be easier.
