"Best TooF yet"

submission: TooF 1300

date: March 7, 2007

I've been checking your site daily in the run up to this, and was it with the wait? Hell yes! The great intro music, the tight scripting, an awesome explosion effect. This just felt like build up to something better though, can't wait for part 2. My favourite bit was "wait, but penguins can't fly", laughed a lot at that. Great work.

Score: 10

"10/10"

submission: Billy Blue Fish

date: March 6, 2007

This is so much better than the score would suggest. Far from an average shooter - it's varied, original and great fun. With some of the best graphics around.

I've followed your work over the years and it was nice to play a kind of callback to all the great characters you've created.

Could suggest a few things, the movement was a bit mechanical, some acceleration and deceleration would be nice. And putting comments with a game will always help, surprised that you didn't.

Keep the games coming, you're one of the best.

Score: 7

"Good pong"

submission: Tron Pong

date: March 4, 2007

I'm pretty sick of Pong games on Newgrounds, but this one did come across as better made than most. Liked the graphics, had a nice feel to it. I still knock some credit off for unoriginality though, a few more extra features to give it a uniqueness would help a lot.

A more serious problem with this is how there's no reset delay when the ball slips past. I'd often lose a point when my paddle was at the side of the screen, then lose another 1 or 2 because I couldn't get back to the middle fast enough. If the ball just flashed for a couple of seconds before moving off, that would be good.

Kinda liked it, 7/10.

"Looks good, plays mediocre"

submission: Doodle Man The Game

date: March 3, 2007

Thought it'd be great when I first opened it, great graphics you've got there. Using a tablet I presume? I really gotta get one of them, this looks much better than most games at Newgrounds.

The game was pretty basic, but quite fun. My main problem with it was how the character would zap back to the start as soon as he got hit. The collision detection wasn't perfect, so it became very annoying after a while. A HP bar would work much better I think. Or at least have some kind of effect when he dies, not just a position reset.

If you make a sequel to this, I think you should add something a bit more original to it too. This walk and jump style platformer has been done to death, people will like the game much more of it offers something new.

I thought it was a pretty good effort though, I'm guessing you're pretty new to making games, if so this is a promising start.

Score: 7

"Real interesting"

submission: Coincidence or pure lie?

date: February 28, 2007

This got blammed first time round? No way! I told loads of people about the last one, it was cool. Hope this one makes it, gave you 5 to help.

Something you could add: if you type 'bush hid the facts' in a notepad file in windows, save it, then reopen the file, it screws up. Weird.

Maybe this would score better if you made it like a quiz (the player had to guess if each fact is coincidence or lie).

Good luck ; )

Score: 8

"Good, but too much guessing"

submission: The Impossible Quiz

date: February 28, 2007

I enjoyed that, played for 25 questions or so before I got annoyed.

Some of the questions here are very hard, which is great. But there were a few that I really don't think made sense and required guess work. For example, 'what comes after december the 2nd', I'm sure there is logic in 'n' being the answer, but the others made sense too. And why is G not the 7th letter of the alphabet? 100 questions seems too much here, I think you'd have been better off taking the 50 best of them.

I liked it graphically, had a nice dynamism about it. I don't find it fun to keep restarting to try and get further, I think it'd be more fun if you just got given points for correct answers and given a score at the end.

Still, one of the best quizzes I've played on Newgrounds. 8/10.

Score: 9

"Very well made game"

submission: The Missile Game 3D HS

date: February 15, 2007

I was kinda worried when I opened this because I though it was similar to a game I have in the works, but as I played I realized it was a pretty different concept, just the 3D-style is similar.

I love 3D in Flash if done well, and here it is done perfectly. Great detection of whether an object has been hit, occasionally hard to line up properly, but with practice this becomes second nature.

The black and white style is cool, kind of an easy way out though. I think this would look great with some kind of underwater-tunnel look.

I hope you come back to this one day and take it even further.

9/10, well done.

Score: 5

"Unoriginal"

submission: shroob invaders

date: January 14, 2007

It's a decently made space invaders clone, but I can't rate it very highly for that. The key to a good game is originality, even if you take a classic concept you need to give it an original twist so that people don't feel that they're playing the same thing they have a 1000 times before.

Technically it wasn't bad at all, I didn't encounter any bugs and it seemed to all work like the original game. Graphically it was basic but fitting. I think this shows you could make a good game, you just need to come up with a good concept first!

Score: 10

"Great progression of the series"

submission: TooF TCvST2

date: January 9, 2007

I'd already watched this on your site, surprised to see it here as most Newgrounds users really don't appreciate these any more it seems. But I'm sure you just want as many people as possible to see your work, which I relate to and understand.

After being promised detailed backgrounds I was disappointed at the start of this one, I thought that little intro went on a bit too long. But when it kicks off it's great, love the place crash. Felt the end was a little anti-climatic, hope one of them finishes off the other another time.

I think next time you might want to consider dropping the mouth part and going straight to the good looking backgrounds. Or redoing the mouth to look better.

Voices and everything are great as always. Love your work, 10/10

Score: 8

"Looked great, bit sluggish"

submission: Cereus Peashy

date: January 9, 2007

Graphically it was one of the best games I've seen in a while, everything was very well drawn with a great feel and texture to it. I'd love to be able to draw like this.

The game itself was fun in a standard-platformer kind of way. Ran a bit tooslowly for my liking, but not everyone likes a fast game.

Lots of effort had clearly been put in, I hope it pays off. Looks like a possible front page to me. Nice work, 8/10.
