[4 ball p0ng]

Nice idea, but needs some fixes

I liked this on the whole Pong is a dull dull game but adding more balls made it pretty fun, plus the power ups were a nice touch. It was all presented well with the simple but stylish black/white graphics.

But the thing that let this down was the engine itself. I lost just because it kept freezing, and the balls got stuck if they hit the side of the paddle.

It's a good effort, but you need to fix a few things in your code. And add some more levels n stuff (with things like walls in the middle).

tnx. ill see what i can do...

[=Pac-Man=]

Good remake, but one major bug

Before anything else- I couldnt lose lives for some reason, this spoilt the game.

But other than that, great work. Although its probably been done before I havent played a pacman with different mazes, added good variety to the game. I liked your sounds n stuff. A good remake of a great game, fix that one bug and this gets my 5.

thanxs...i only just notict that right befor i read ur reviwe

[Christmas Adventure]

Very good christmas game

This was great! Graphics and sound were excellent. The game was pretty original which is good. Really christmassy, might make the christmas bit on the front page. Two problems:

-You spelled globe wrong on the help. Golbe.
-The baubles (globes) were a bit hard to catch. I think the hit area should be a bit larger than the globes themselves.

Other than that, really well done, congrats.

adi4x responds:

Thanks. I've seen the mistakes but i don't know to upload the new version ?!

[Captain Panda 1 v.2]

Good simple game

This was fun, the steep learning curve prevented it getting boring and past l3 it was fairly challenging. I doubt it took very long to make (compared to most games of this quality), but you clearly put in a lot of effort to make it as good as possible and that shows. Good work.

Oddy responds:

Thank you :) Appreciated.

[How to draw 3: Birds]

I DREW A BIRD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love this tutorial. Finally somebody submits a tutorial that almost everyone can find useful. It was also very well presented, made it fun to to read.

I liked the womans voice, I thought it was funny. The drawing pad was a great addition, although I kept clearing by accident, you should put 'clear pad' at the top right of the screen where it can't be clicked by accident. There's also room for improvement in that it wasn't always easy to navigate. But other than that, fantastic submission, I really hope it gets a daily placing.

Aprime responds:

I think i submitted this tooo early, because all the americans are sleeping :(, lol, any way thanks for viewing and reviewing, vote 5 every dat please, lol, add me to favs, and submit all my work to favs please :)

Thanks for reviewing and viewing

[Donald Dress Up Game]

Nice dressup

A good dressup, very good graphics. Shame it's scored low, I guess it's quite an overcrowded area. The clothes selection was quite small, and it could do with backgrounds. Sound might be a nice touch too.

Also I don't think it was necessary to tick 'mild nudity', this doesn't deserve a mature rating!

Muffinator responds:

People dont seem to have much of a concept of mild nudity on New Grounds. I really can't be bothered changing it as it isn't that important.

[Skate and die 2]

Good, but why separate?

I like these movies, they're mildly entertaining and well presented with good menus and music.

Character itself is a bit too simple, needs improvements.

And why did you submit 2 separate parts?? One submission with all the outcomes and music selection would be much better. Surely you'd rather have one good score than 2 not-so-great ones?

RawkAwn responds:

I did these at two different days and didnt save the .Fla file, so i had to make another.

[FIREBALL_5]

Looked great, but needed something more

I was put off this game a bit straight away because I couldn't find instructions. If they were there, they need to be more clear.

So after that I didn't really get the main game. I hoped that it'd be like Burnout in that you were supposed to hit the enemies, but that killed me. So I tried again and by dodging them I won far too easily.

The graphics are great. The controls are great. But I think this needs more work, you should make a full game of it with weapons and money and upgrades. Pretty decent as it is though.

MightyDangLo responds:

Your point about the instructions was valid and helpful. When you spend as much time with some things, you forget why it is you know how they work. That I will definitely need to fix. Thanks for that.

[Rainbowsphere: N.E]

Amazing

I saw this on NG yesterday and didn't think twice about not playing it. I dom't like these kind og games, I find them boring. But as it got a daily place, I though I'd give it a go.

At first it was just what I expected- simple graphics, standard sound (annoyingly without an off button), simple concept. But as it went on it became impressive. The level design is fantastic, and the level of precision is unbelievable.

I kept wanting to stop playing but there'd be something to stop me- for example when I finished l13 I hovered over the Close button then saw the lava and had to have a try. The level variation was very good.

Then comes the boss. Loved it, took me a LOT of attempts but I got it. Then there was the escape level which was also excellent but sadly I just couldn't do it, maybe this should have been split up into smaller parts.

In terms of improvements, there are quite a few. A save system would be nice, I'd like to have been able to try Escape again another day. Sound off button. The graphics don't need to be great here but there is room for improvement. On the next game maybe you could bring colour mixing into the gamplay (like becoming orange means you can survive yellow and red blocks). You could also become white/black/brown etc.

Very good, 5/5

GAMECUBICLE responds:

You can turn of the sound by pressing S

Thanks for the nice comments, i dont see why people think the escape scene is so hard though

[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
