[Arkanoid]

Cliched and simple.

If your going to remake this game for the millionth time on NG then you should put in something to make it stand out. The most recent succesful version had a paddle that rotated left and right- simple but effective. Another had slow motion. My favourite (not on NG) is one where little gnomes pop out of the block and throuw pots at you which you avoid. Genious!

So this isn't a bad game at all, now that you've made the engine I hope you go away and add something exciting to it (as well as multiple levels and power ups)

SuperBokey responds:

Well why destory such an original game with silly little power-ups and all? I think its perfect as it is ;) (but it may need more levels)

[Avoid the balls]

Fun little game

"Avoid the balls", 14k...I wasn't expecting much.

But the game itself worked. Graphics were simple as they come (but bright & clean). No sound. And the concept was very simple, but what I liked about this game is that it got hard very quickly so there was no hanging about in early stages that a monkey could do. Nice try, hope it survives.

[Interactive Fatass V 1.0]

Fun game

I enjoyed playing that game. It's a long way off Interactive Buddy, especially in graphics, but it wasn't a bad try. The physics were pretty good, especially on the grenade. My favourite killing method was to just pick him up and slam him against the wall. The selection wasn't great, but they were all very different and effort had been put into each. Nice work.

[Fish Chase v2]

Fun

I really liked that game. Graphics were bright, colorful and clean. Game itself was simple but fun to play and the enemy AI wasn't bad at all. I lost on the last level, shame there was no 'retry' option. The sound was fitting but I rated a 0 bacause it really needed an off button, started sending me crazy and spoilt the game a bit. You shoudl add more levels with even more enemies. And something extra to the gameplay like an energy bar (and you can swim faster but rist losing your energy). Nice effort.

Zabuza-Kun responds:

Thanks. I will be sure to add an on/off button for the audio in v3. Along with a few powerups to make it easier/harder, depending on the pickup. I will possibly add more levels. I went for the cartoony look to emphasise that it is just a game. It's meant to be fun. Thanks for the review :D

Promising

This has the workings to be a VERY good game. Just add some kind off mid battle interaction (assigning troops to different enemies etc) add more types of attackers, have multiple levels and an ultimate goal, yeh its good and I hope to see more.

[Bunbun cartoons]

V.Funny

Still animations are never going to do so great on NG, but they're usually just as funny as some of the huge scoring movies, and this is no exception. Most of these strips made me laugh, I especially liked the one where he kills his girlfriend (lol) and the one where he wears the ice cream as a hat (why?!?). Not much else to say, you're a very good cartoonist and I like your work.

Illumatie responds:

thanx...

oh and there is no real reason why he wears it as a hat, it just came to me this way.

[death ryder]

enjoyable game

I enjoyed that game, it was a good idea carried out alright. The slicing was fun but you could have had other weapons for sale, guns n stuff. The graphics were stylish at times, but often just plain crap. Times new roman for the shop signs? Cmon, you can do better than that. Google for the website cartoonsmart, I reckon you could benefit from some of the free tuts. Sound effects were pretty good, but the music sucked. Couldnt you have had slipknot or something? Generally a full song at reasonable quality is about 500kb so a 3-4 tracks wouldn't hurt the filesize too much. I reached L16, are there infinite levels? If so there shouldn't be, and each one needs to vary more (different enemies n stuff). But it was pretty good overall.
