"Could work"

submission: Space Tag

date: September 6, 2006

Not seen something like this before, it's a decent idea. I think the best thing you could do would be to add AI. Most people browse NG on their own, and will blam this because they can't play it. Some idiots will probably even complain that nothing happens, most of us expect a 1-player game.

AI wouldn't be too hard. You just need the enemy ship to constantly move towards you when it's chasing, and move away when it's escaping (both with some level of randomness, possibly variable depending on the level difficulty). It'd be easier to do if you add walls instead if screen looping.

The controls were annoying too. I didn't like how the ship had constant acceleration in one direction, yes I know it's realistic, but it'd be more satisfying to play if it decceralated over time.

Graphics were pretty good. The sound annoyed me though, that 'hehe' noise was funny at first but soon got very very annoying.

I'm forgetting the game as I write this so I'll leave it there, but it's a good premise that just needs a little more. I think this deserves a 2.3 but will probably get lower than that due to the 2-player only thing. Hope it survives though ^_^

"Cool idea, but..."

submission: Ginger Ball Shooter

date: September 6, 2006

I like the idea, it's so sick that it could have worked. But I think it needs to be more violent, the cocks n balls really need to splat when they're shot. The sound effects could be much better too.

The game itself isn't varied enough. Point n shoots are so unoiriginal that they need something special to stand out, the concept here helped, but it still needs something more.

I wouldn't minds seeing a version 2, I reckon you could pull this off. Keep at it.

Score: 6

"Nice idea, but some major problems."

submission: Newgrounds Hold'em

date: September 6, 2006

At first I thought this would be a Texas Hold Em sim, and as I haven't seen a decent one done at NG I thought that would be good. But this is something I've never played before, which is even better.

First off - graphics great, sound great. The NG characters and 'other things' made it more enjoyable to play.

But major problem #1 - the concept doesn't really work. All the backgrounds could be won by placing an all-in bet on the highest odd hand (post-flop) and if it doesnt win just reset and try again. I did this on a 20-1 hand, won on 2-pairs and grabbed the Girls 2 background. In a short while I had them all.

There's a serious bug too. If you lose all your chips and forget to reset at the end of a round, you're buggered. Cause when you click deal you cant reset any more, and when the flop shows with no bets on the deal button cannot be selected. So it's a freeze situation, the game must be refereshed.

The bug can be fixed no problem (I suggest re-uploading the fla quickly) , but the first problem would require quite a big rethink. So maybe more testing was needed. Shame because this could have been great. Still, you got a good score and it's deserved, so well done.

"lolling..."

submission: A Plane With Snakes on it

date: September 4, 2006

That was hilarious...funniest Flash I've seen for ages. Graphics and things were so-so, but 10/10 for enjoyment value.

"Pretty good shooter"

submission: Onslaught

date: August 29, 2006

A well made game, enjoyable to play for a bit. But by level 4 I got bored, I think it should change more often. In the 4 stages I played the enemies were exactly the same. THere were some planes, but when I missed one nothing happened so I'm not sure what they were about. And I saw pacman once which was pretty funny.

As people have said weapon upgrades might be a possible upgrade here, not a lot of variety for upgrades other than more power though. Maybe you could add some explosives like grenades for use when there's too much on screen.

Graphically it look great. No major problems with the gameplay. 4/5.

Score: 10

Frickin hilarious.

"Fun for a while"

submission: Staggy 2

date: August 24, 2006

(Hope I've got the right submission this time)

I was a bit disappointed when this loaded because I already played it the other day, guess I played it at another site. Not gonna mark you down for that.

But what I will mark it down for: The basic attacking is very repetitive. The knight just swings his sword in a slightly odd way. It just didn't feel like you were actually slashing up the boys, which hurt the overall effect. The physics didn't feel right, everthing was a bit floppy, maybe the gravity wasn't always strong enough.

But otherwise I like it, fairly entertaining slashing fun. The concept is pretty original, and funny. All the upgrades and things gave it a bit of longetivity, I could probably play this for a long while if I had the time. Great graphics, particularly on the background. Some really good Flash work here, I don't think I've played your work before but I'll certainly be going to have a look at your back catalogue. 8/10.

"Good tetris remake"

submission: IS_Tetris

date: August 20, 2006

A perfectly good Tetris remake. Crisp clean graphics, smooth gameplay, simple controls. The choice of background and music was a nice touch.

But this loses points for unoriginality. Surprised you couldn't find a decent Tetris on Newgrounds because I've definelty played a few here. Some say that making a good game is 90% ideas and 10% everything else, which wouldn't bode well for this.

As the maker of Gravoor you've got nothing to prove so it's cool if you want to make stuff like this. But I like to see fresh ideas myself.

"Some people will like it"

submission: Glyn Hair Game

date: August 18, 2006

Probably wont score well because of the limited audience, but I like it a lot. Gyln's my second fave HM (still want pete to win!).

This'd be much better if you could change the hairstyle as well. At least between the two styles he had in the house.

Also, 'brilliant' and 'gutted' got annoying, I think it should have more SFX.

Good though, made me laugh.
