SoulRed12's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Butterfly Frenzy]

Well....

It just doesn't have enough substance. I got bored pretty quickly because all i was doing was touching flowers that appeared every few seconds. From what I could tell, the plasma bullets were pointless because all they did was cause beetles to explode into 8 bullets.

I don't know if extra powerups came around as you continue to play, but if so, they should come earlier because otherwise a lot of people will probably lose interest before seeing them.

The graphics were good though, so good job there. ^_^

gio-m responds:

i did not add any any power ups in this game. Thank you for your constructive feed back. I will work to make my next game more entertaining. Only by your positive feed back can i made improvements to my games. thank you for your help.

Pretty cool

I managed to get 2:32 ON A TRACKPAD =D

Great game. Nice and compact, yet effective. My only suggestion would be to get it going a little faster. Even on medium, it took a while for it to be anything of a challenge.

[Woobies]

Overdone

I've played this exact game with different graphics time and time again. If you're going to remake it, you should add your own twist to it or I might as well play one of the others.

The combo thing was sort of interesting but overall the bomb wasn't useful, at all. It blows up two or three other ones at the most, whereas another color could have taken out six or seven.

The graphics were good, the "YAAAH" sound from the bomb was a little jarring but the rest of the sounds were good. There was no music, that was a little disappointing.

5/10 2/5

Tidous responds:

Thanks for the detailed feedback. The bomb becomes more and more useful in the further you go. With 5 or even 8 Woobies of different colors in one level you'll often wish, that exactly NOW a bomb comes in to help you in a tricky situation ;-)

Yes, we've deleted the music during the main game and only use soundeffects since a game could be quite long and music may disturb.

[PSP Pong]

Left and right...

Um... I think something about the programming on this game is a bit broken. No matter what I do the ball just goes horizontally, it should bounce a different direction depending on where I hit it with the paddle. Right now it just stays on the center line moving right, left, right, left; it's got no vertical movement whatsoever. Even if I try to hit it with the corner of my paddle it still just bounces due east again.

The graphics were good though, and so was the programming aside from what I described above, so that at least gets you three stars.

[Gtttatint 3d 2!]

Really nice

Really great. Simple, yet effective. Great gameplay, good powerups, good enough graphics.

I only have a few gripes:
Speeding up and jumping also makes you fall faster, thus negating the benefit.
You fall into the water just by touching it, rather than actually walking off into it.

That's all. Great work.

[Space Assault]

Good, but...

This was a really fun game; the graphics were just okay, but everything else was pretty darn good.

The problem with these types of games though, is this. You made the upgrade system really well; I found myself having a lot of fun collecting cash from the enemies and buying upgrades. The rest of the game was done well, too. The problem, is that because you did a good job with the mechanics, it was really a disappointment when the game ended after 4 levels.

So in other words, if you're going to make a good game like this, make it longer ;)

[Learn to Fly !]

6000 feet???

Excellent game. But how am I supposed to get 6000 feet on the last one??? My best is only 5100....

Some tips would be nice...

But again, great game in spite of that.

[FPA: World 2]

Great stuff

Reminds me of sonic mixed with rayman. A dream come true. lol.

Thanks for this game ^_^

[Barack O'Break]

Well...

It's not very good. I know this was probably meant to be some sort of political statement, but honestly, it's on newgrounds, it's marked as a game, so it should be fun. Which it really isn't...

The hit boxes should've been more isometric--that is, the keys shouldn't free the prisoners just because the two sprites collided. If I was significantly closer to the screen (which would look lower) then keys shouldn't free the prisoners for hitting their feet when in actuality the key would have gone past the prisoner because of the difference in their z coordinate/depth.

And, of course, there's the problem that it's repetitive and uninteresting. But again, I can see you were trying to be political, so you probably didn't pay much attention to the function of the game itself. But could have done both; for example you could have added other characters like Al Gore, George Bush, Dick Cheney with a rifle, etc.

[maze game 2.2]

Well....

Fine for a first game, but I never like judging games to be better than they are just because it's someone's first one.

First off, the walls are too "thick", even though they have thin lines. What I mean is, the walls report a collision even when you don't actually hit them.

However, the biggest flaw in this game (aside from the right-click cheat) is the fact that when you die, you start the entire game over. Not good. In a game like this, you NEVER want to kick the player all the way back to the start of the entire game for a single mistake. That's like expelling someone for missing one test.

It's a fine start, but needs improvements. Over the course of your game making, you will start to pick up these important elements of game design, both through personal insight and through reviews. Just keep posting stuff and you'll get better.
