"Best NG Point n Click"

submission: Submachine2: Lighthouse

date: August 4, 2006

I love Point n Clicks, and this was the best one I've played here at NG. I enjoyed the first one and have been looking forwards to this, it was better than I'd hoped.

The graphics were brilliant, really nice job there. Plus the sound was good too, very atmospheric, even scary at times.

The thing I liked about this is that although it was very hard the puzzles weren't random. I don't like these games where the actions are so random that some puzzles are impossible without a walkthrough. I only needed a walkthough once here, because I couldn't see the door that led to the room where you place the coils.

I lot of these games rely on very hard-to-spot things, thankfully you didn't rely on those. But I still don't think you needed to disable Tab finding.

The real videos gave this an extra something. They show extra effort.

Overall, I love it, can't wait for part 3!

"*thumbs up*"

submission: TooF Fassabowl!

date: July 31, 2006

I've reviewed all the Toofs so far...now I'm doing this one...

The movie wasn't the best yet. That'd be 5. Or 3. What happened in 4 again? Maybe 4. But this was still pretty good. Bit too random, namely the end. Plus no afro dude, it's not the same without the afro dude.

What I did like was the new menus n stuff. The review replies was pretty funny. Plus your site rocks, thanks for the wallpaper (but you need a bigger one, looks all stretched on my big monitor).

Good stuff...keep at it

Score: 10

"Brilliant idea and well made"

submission: EXPGEN

date: July 30, 2006

I love this, it's very well made and offers endless hours of playtime.

The editor is quite easy to use, could be a bit easier though. I didn't understand why you had to keep opening the menu, the stage could just be a bit taller and all the options could fit underneath. Here are a few suggestions for future versions (which you must make!):

-Graphical import option. E.g, someone can upload an image to photobucket then the game can read it. Having a small selection of graphics limits what this is capable of.

-Shooting option, would really broaden the type of games possible.

-Cookie saving of levels (I think most people wouldnt bother saving text files).

It's a great little flash, but I reckon there's still loads of room for improvement. Still 5/5 as it is though, nice work.

"Carroty"

submission: Carrot boy pt 2

date: July 30, 2006

You were right, this one was funnier than the last one. But it was shorter, and most of the movie is exactly the same as before. You could've at least jazzed up the building at the start cause that looks craptacular. Still, not a bad little movie. 7/10.

Score: 8

"Pretty good"

submission: Gravoor Perfect

date: July 29, 2006

A really good game. Graphics were excellent, always good to see some (swift?) 3d. Had a clean, lively style to it.

Msuic, whilst not bad, really needs an off button. As with a lot of people I prefer to listen to my own music whilst playing games.

Best bit here was the level creator. It's something I'm trying myself on my next game. I think it adds an extra level of interactivity.

My main problem here lies with the game itself, I just found it a little irritating. Maybe it was the movement, nice and original, but navigating small passages got frustrating. I think maybe this just isn't my type of game.

But still, great job on this, shows some real game making talent. 5/5.

Score: 8

"Kick...Ass"

submission: Carrot boy Pt 1

date: July 29, 2006

Pretty funny stuff, I like it.

Suggestion #1 - The building at the start looked terrible. First impressions are very important if you want people to score you highly. Put extra time in the first few scenes.

#2 - Don't use plain text on buildings/vehicles, draw it yourself or at least find a better font.

The graphics were pretty good mostly though, and the sound grew on me. Love the concept & plot. Keep it up.

Score: 8

"Pretty good platformer"

submission: QuibeLand

date: July 28, 2006

An enjoyable game, I played right through to the end. The main levels were a bit too simple, nothing new. But the bosses broke it up a bit.

Graphically its really good. Love the style, very unique and clear.

More varierty in the obstacles would be good. Got a bit bored of the crushers after a while.

The minoboss is one of the best bits, but some AI might have been good. It was easy to memorize his pattern of attack, which didn't change at all. At the least his attacks should change as his health drops, even better would be a bit of AI.

Final boss did me in, I'd have liked to have another go but I forgot the password. Password systems are pretty crap tbh, they should only be used as a secondary system to cookie saving.

A pretty decent platformer overall. 8/10.

Score: 3

"Unoriginal"

submission: Dress yourself *webcam*

date: July 24, 2006

Been done before, been done better. I love webcam games for their originality, but that's exactly what this lacks.

In response to the person below me, I agree, webcam games are mightily unsafe. It's only a matter of time before someone makes a cam game that sends the video elsewhere.

Not a terrible attempt, but I doubt it will survive. Better luck next time.

Score: 7

"Pretty good"

submission: Boondox

date: July 24, 2006

Can't say I like the music myself but it's not a bad music video. There's some powerful imagery in there, it's well thought out. The graphics are mixed, most of it looks great but some needs work (the bus is dire). Pretty good, keep it up.

Score: 10

"Better and better"

submission: Adrift - Episode Three

date: July 18, 2006

I'm really enjoying this series and this is definitely the best one yet :)

To start with the graphics, only a minor improvement on the last one but still good. The animation is excellent, all the movement is very smooth. Little bug - when the movie first opens the characters flash on screen. I presume it's to load them, if so you can have them outside of the stage.

Voices were better than before, still a bit crackly at times. I don't know much about audio but it might just be the equipment you're using, might be worth investing in something better. Did the job though. The music in these is always cool, some good fitting choices.

But on to the best bit which is the plot. The last two epsiodes felt a bit disjointed, hard to tell what was going on. But not this one. It brought together all the elements well, even some moments of tension (had a feeling the monster was going to grab the guy and pull him into the hole). Like Lost it gave the view enough answers, but continually posed more questions to keep them intrigued. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Keep it up, 10/10
