ChromeShark's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Crizzle dungeon]

Could be good.

You say you want this to be one of the best games on NG. Well it's possible, at a big stretch. I enjoyed this version, but there's still work to do.

The graphics were very good and i liked the way it was 3Dish but it was almost wasted because it often just looked weird. I'd constantly appear behind forground objects and in front of background objects. Depths can be a nightmare I know, but you really need to fix them.

The gameplay was good, but a bit unoriginal, I didn't see anything I hadn't before. Combat was weak, you need some level of combos and a range of attacks.

I didn't like the controls, they confused me. I'd prefer it if action and attack were the same button. Jumping didn't feel quite right either. The sound was average.

I hope the final game has some form of story. I know this is a demo but I dropped it from 9 to 8 because of the ending, the game just froze after the swing-chain room (or maybe this was a bug, I don't know).

I hope this review doesn't come across as negative, I really liked the game, reminded me of a show called Knightmare. I hope you put a lot of effort in the final game because it could be a classic.

Very good game

Impressive. I won't spend to long reviewing because I want to get back to playing ^_^ but it's a really well made and fun to play game. Well done, 5

[Jak 3: Gold Edition]

Excellent

One of the 10 ten games I've played on NG, I'd set it at 4.10 if I could, but at least you got the Daily Second.

Other than a few bugs which have already been mentioned, the game was just about perfect all round. Must have taken AGES to make. Really well done.

The-Mercenary responds:

took a bit more than a year. Though I took about half a year's break from it and flash so its more like 7 months development, but still pretty long. Thanks

[Lines Classic]

MOST AMAZING GAME EVER!!!!

Sorry, couldn't resist the sarcastic review title. But it was a decent game, had that rare proffesional look about it. I haven't seen a game like this before (well I guess Clines is similar). It was really easy to pick up but challenging to play. The options added replayability. I scored 100, not great ^_^

Did lack on thrill value, I think I'd like it more if a new circle appeared at set time intervals. Also sometimes lines of 5 formed by chance but didn't register. Optional music would be nice, and extra features like bombs (sorry just copying the reviewer before me).

4/5

[3D Frogger]

Impresssive

People underestimate how advanced a 3d Flash game is. I don't mean Swift-level 3d, proper stuff like this. Flash is technically not capable of 3d. Games that break the rules like this are exceptionally good.

I'm not a frogger fan, so I didnt expect to spend to long on this. But its addictive! I got a few frogs in the holes.

I have no criticisms at all, realizing that varying levels is not really an option here. The only think that made me give this a 9 not a 10 is that Frogger is an unoriginal idea, even though you've put a great personal slant on it.

[Pix- ex- el V.3]

Strangely enjoyable

The graphics are very simple, the concept is nothign new and fairly dull (click & shoot, repeat over).

But there is something about this that makes it really worthwhile. I'm not sure what, it could be the music combined with the SFX. I hope others agree with me and this survives.

Your future work could be something to look forwards to.

[Diver Duck!]

Cute game

I really liked that, graphically it was excellent and played really smoothly.

The SFX were perfect, a touch of music might have helped.

It didn't have much replay value, pretty good for wasting 2 minutes but the fun doesn't stretch for much longer.

4/5

[Snape Dress Up]

its a dress-up...

As far as dress-ups go, it was pretty good. Clean graphics, lots of clothing etc etc

But I don't think I'm alone in finding dress-ups verrrrry pointless. I can't see why anyone would spend more than a minute on this.

So this shows a lot of talent and I gave it 3/5, but try and make something more worthwhile next time.

Sewer-Ratty responds:

Yeah well at the moment i am sticking to small projects but i may just get around to doing something more worthwhile at a later date.

[Bob's Commercial Break]

Great idea

I really like the idea, these kind of games can do really well.

But as it stands, this game didn't offer much. I think you should make it into a series of mini-games, aiming fun when you go to the bathroom etc.

Also there could be puzzles, like for ordering the pizza you need to find the pizza delivery card (hidden under a rug?) and a poking stick because your fingers are too fat to dial.

Also you should be able to replay from levels when you lose. And the objectives could be at the bottom so you can see when you've completed them.

Make more please! I'll be looking forwards to it.

Loomkind responds:

thanks for all the ideas , and I will probably make more...

[Alien Clones]

Well made

That was unlike any game I've played on Newgrounds, the controls felt really natural but it was hard at the same time.

I didn't get very far so I can't so much comment about variation and the like. But what I played seemed perfect all round. Well done.
