ChromeShark's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Coincidence or pure lie?]

Real interesting

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 ; )

Yeah, that is weird...
And I was thinking about quiz but I decided to keep it how it is. But I will make improvement in graphics.

[The Impossible Quiz]

Good, but too much guessing

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.

[The Missile Game 3D HS]

Very well made game

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.

[Cereus Peashy]

Looked great, bit sluggish

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.

[BearHunt]

Liking it

Not bad, not bad at all. I really liked the graphics myself, they had a very original style to them.

The gameplay was a bit repetitive but quite fun for a while. Instructions would be good, took me a while to figure it out.

Overall, nicely made game, 8/10

[Snack Dash]

Great Sonic clone

I wasn't expecting much for the file size, but this was a very accurate clone of Sonic, with an original twist on it.

Not sure about the exercise feature, seemed like an original addition at first but after a while it got tedious having to stop and work out every now and again, it drew away from the fast nature of the game. Also, at one point I got stuck in a pit because I was too fat to get out, had to commit suicide on some spikes. If you were to do a sequel I think this feature would need a rethink.

Otherwise a fantastic game, not a lot else I can suggest to improve it. See you on the Front Page. 10/10.

[Gateway]

Fun while it lasts

A very well made puzzle game, the 3-D style made it quite original, and the puzzles were well thought out.

I was a bit disappointed that it ended when it did. For a game with zero replay ability I think its important to make sure it doesn't end too soon.

It was a bit linear too. Complete puzzle - move on - complete puzzle - move on, there are more original ways of setting things out.

But I'm only being negative because this has scored so very highly. It was a good game, maybe even a great game. Nice work, 8/10.

[Gravity Pinball 2]

Lucky!

No offense but you are LUCKY to have got daily feature for this! Don't get me wrong, it's a decent game and I enjoyed playing it, but some of the best game creators here could make this in a few nights. It's not even an original concept, Ball Revamped did pretty much the exact same thing (and quite a lot better too tbh).

Lucky yes, but underserved no. You've clearly put effort into this game to make it an attractive package, I greatly admire Level Creators.

Enjoy the fame, but don't get cocky, you've got a wat to go yet. 7/10.

[Amoeba Amoeba]

Really good beat em up

Beat em ups are hard games to make in Flash, you did a nice job of it! The thing that impressed me most was the perfect difficulty level, most of my matches were so close they went into a round 3. I guess it's your good AI to thank for that.

Graphically I thought it was great, both the characters the and detailed backgrounds. It was funny too, some very original characters and lots of well conceived attacks.

Really good game, hope to see a sequel with more characters. 10/10

Thanks ChromeShark!

The main problem we had with adding content was that the FLA developed a memory leak about 6 months ago, meaning it would leak memory then garbage collection frantically. This means we can't add stuff to this. If I could find what was causing it, we could proceed with more content but unfortunately there's a problem somewhere in Macromedia's flash dev environment that only affects this FLA!
