Minoto is in the house and he brought his weekly point and click exercise for you: little mermaid.

First time first!
ReplyDeleteNew design for bontegames.com? I like it =)
ReplyDeleteClear! On;y one method.
ReplyDeleteHaha well I'm just messing around a bit with the layout and colors, so there's no way back now :) All suggestions are welcome!
ReplyDeleteYeh, do like the new design, Bart.
ReplyDeleteI don't really like the new colors.. too much contrast i think. Maybe take a bigger font, the text is really small on my screen, more and more people get bigger resolutions :)
ReplyDeleteS.
New layout looks good Bart.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to know what or where the little boy was transfered!
i feel stupid...
ReplyDeletei have the apple juice... what now?
ok! got it!! yay!! lol
ReplyDeletebart, i like the new layout but its a bit too darl for me.. maybe lighten it up?
Love the new site design and color scheme!
ReplyDeleteNice new design. :)
ReplyDeleteNice puzzle; minoto makes them weirder every time.
De kleuren passen goed bij je nieuwe spel Bart. Maar voor een hele pagina vind ik de contrasten te groot en te onrustig. Bij witte letters op zwart wil ik eigenlijk gelijk afhaken. Misschien kun je de rechterkant van het scherm wat lichter maken.
ReplyDeleteComplimenti per il nuovo design Bart. E' molto bello e colorato,allegro.
ReplyDelete:))
Ok, well back to whitish background instead of black. Wasn't that satisfied with the black, the search continues ...
ReplyDeleteThis scheme is better than the black one :o) it was difficult to read the small letters.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I played this one in japanese earlier today lol!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the new design. I'll miss the dogs though.
:)
WOW!
ReplyDeleteNow THAT was a weird one!
The half-shrimp lady flings the boy from juice pool into parts unknown.
New layout is great.
ReplyDeleteAnyone else surprised that Minoto's not a female?
ReplyDeleteHELP all i have is the Radio control someone piz help @.@
ReplyDeleteBart, congratulations! the novelty always makes people feel strange, but your new layout is great! by the way, i didnt receive my bucky balls :(
ReplyDeleteI usually end up thinking everyone's a guy unless they've got an absurdly girly name (like mylittlepony lover or something silly to that effect).
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm sorry if I've offended any lovers of My Little Pony, it's just that after I saw littlekuriboh's version of the movie I can't take it seriously anymore. (I still like flutter valley though!)
@anonymous: look behind the cat and use the string on the spinning-top.
This is a good game! The mermaid is without a top, did anyone else notice that? BTW, Bart, not real big on the format, liked the old one. :)
ReplyDeletewell I'm not entirely satisfied on the new layout as well, so you might see it change now and then in the days to come :)
ReplyDelete@samara: you were one of the winners? I did send all the winners addresses to the bucky balls people. Please mail me at bontegames@gmail.com
About the layout, maybe, instead of the navy blue color, something more green ? Or navy and green ? :)
ReplyDeleteWell, now, to my mind, it is a bit too blue...
ReplyDeleteLOL! Loved the hole apple-newton-gravitasion-thing!
ReplyDeletewriting is way too big
ReplyDeleteYay! I got my Minoto fix. I was going thru withdrawl.
ReplyDeleteBart, I would make the dates a different color to make them stand out more - maybe dark green? They tend to blend in too much with the rest of the writing.
ReplyDeleteHi Bart,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the new look! It's fresh and looks great. On a side note, careful of the amount of red and green because of people who are colourblind.
Keep up the brilliant work! Thanks for all your effort.
What black background?I don't remember that.I"d like it though!On my laptop,I have a black background with bright green font!!!The blue is ok,but if you keep changing it alot,that would be welcome,too!!As always,your work is terrific.THANKS!
ReplyDeleteI LIKE THE NEW LAY-OUT!!!
ReplyDeleteand offcourse all the minoto games!
xxx
personally i rly like a layout atm, but im stuck on the game, lol, wat am i supposed to do with the remote control?
ReplyDeleteUse it on the car in the glass box, of course.
ReplyDeletegetting there, like the blue...
ReplyDeletegetting there, like the blue...
ReplyDeleteoh soz i didn't no there was another screen! omg soz im so thick!
ReplyDeletePlease how do you get apple juice ?
ReplyDeleteApple juice? Use Newton's law to get the apple then juice it in the juicer.
ReplyDeleteI think the newest layout is a bit dull now tbh.
any more specific help on getting the apple down? I gave the ticket to the match girl, the geese ran the race, and I'm stuck.
ReplyDeleteaha! never mind, I got it!
ReplyDeletenobody wants the apple juice,
ReplyDeletei dont know what to do with it.
oh wow ok i didnt know a glass of juice can fill a pool.
ReplyDeleteHelp End
ReplyDeleteThe juice of the pool was drunk.
The drowned boy was helped by The Little Mermaid.
Power was too large.
The boy was transferred somewhere.
yay done
mwahahaha, Minoto's games are just too funny! :)
ReplyDeleteBart, you COULD actually have a thread just discussing your new layout! :D A lot of opinions...
Regardless, it's a good page, keep it up!
I think this black-grey-white is too simple...
ReplyDeleteHELP!!!!!! the geese have run the race and im now stuck! i cant get that apple out the tree!!!
ReplyDeletedrop the weight by the tree and the apple will fall off.
ReplyDeletePLEASE HELP!!! IM STILL STUCK!!! ITS me from the comment before...
ReplyDeleteHHHEEELLLLLPPPPPPPPPP!!!! how do u get the apple down and the goose to stop jumping about like a looney??? lol- Bart can u help me as no one else will??? thanks x
What weight??????? i dont see a weight!
ReplyDeleteR.F x
Well the layout is still not final, so expect to see it change a couple more times probably :)
ReplyDeleteKeep on doing suggestions!
there is a weight in the cupboard in the kitchen. the 3 dots above the cupboard need to be in the color order that the geese are in after the race. then the door will open. take the weight and drop it by the tree. the apple will fall to the ground. place the apple in the juicer and make juice.
ReplyDeleteHey Bart!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite bit about the new design is your picture ;) Finally I can put a face to the name that seems so familiar by now. And you are cute, too! :)
Not quite too happy with the black headlines of the games. But as you said, it's a work in progress... :)
You hit it right on the head Carly! I couldn't put my finger on it but it IS the black headlines... Too much contrast.
ReplyDeleteI think if they matched the grey color of the games blog headline that would be better. Maybe make the games blog headline could be a shade darker to set it apart?
Last suggestion, what about a very translucent background pattern?
Haha, cool game. I love minoto! :D I always look forward to the next one at once after I'm done with one.
ReplyDeleteAnyways.. I like the new layout! I love this website! Keep it ut Bart ; )
Or more use of the main characters of your games, such as the dog and the penguin.
ReplyDeleteAlialialia- I liked the Ms. Piggy thing! Oh, well. BTW Bart, the layout looks okay, a bit dull, but I think it's fine. :)
ReplyDeleteI was feeling a little sick today, but a Minoto game always cheers me up.
