[Yay Snake Game ^^]

Promising

Everybody has to start somewhere, technically this wasn't bad at all. Try a more original idea with some more exciting graphics and you could do alright here at NG.

Best NG Point n Click

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!

Brilliant idea and well made

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.

Pretty good

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.

Pretty good platformer

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.

[Dress yourself *webcam*]

Unoriginal

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.

[Overkill: Apache]

Incredible

The best game of its type I've played since Raiden X. The graphics are very good, at firsty they didn't blow me away, but when everything started happening all at once it looked awesome. Easy to play, but challenging at the same time.

One little improvement might be better enemy AI. For example the tanks always fired in one direction, maybe they could at least try and aim at you.

But this is pretty much perfect all round, I reckon it'll do well. Nice work. 10/10

pixelhugger responds:

Better AI is certainly on the wishlist - but I had to draw the line somewhere! I'll save it for version 2.0 :)

[bunny ZAP !]

Utterly Incredible

I have to hand it to you - this is the most original game I've ever seen on Newgrounds. It's the first webcam game I've seen here, I didn't think it was possible! How does it work?1 Does it detect colour change or something? I'm stunned.

The game was well produced too. Nice graphics (me in the background guarantees a 10) and funny sound. I played for ages just waving about like mad. I think it's be better if you had to NOT hit some things, so then you'd need to more precise in your movements. Maybe a setup test thing before the game to get the webcam positioned correctly would help.

Really though, I'm very impressed. I hope to see more. Despite the low score I think this should get Front Page. 10/10.

neuroproductions responds:

thanks :D
how does it works?
with the new bitmapdata class(since flash 8). Infact Its much easier than it looks
In short: you take virtual screenshots of your video object, than you compare the color value of some pixels with the pixels of the prev sceenshot. for more info, press F1 in flash>bitmap data :)

[The Green Blob, 2006]

Really good

If people look at this as an interactive movie rather than a game, it could do well. The graphics are incredible (nicer lookin preloader might've helped). The blob animates superbly.

The game element is lacking, because if you choose wrongly you just go back a bit and choose again. But I don't think its supposed to work like a game, its like a Choose Your Own Adventure thing. Which I like a lot.

This deserves to to really well here at Newgrounds, but I'm not sure that everyone will get it. Hope they do, 10/10

[Cena Quiz]

Small target audience

This doesn't interest me at all, I'm not sure I've heard of the guy. There's probably only a handful of people here that would like this, which'll probably result in it getting a lower score than it deserves.

It was actually a well made quiz. All very clear and user friendly. Its good that you didn't use the terrible quiz method that most people use where you go back to the start if you get a question wrong.

I got 37%ish. Hope it survivies.

Thanks man
