AloneInTheDark's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Random Maze Generator]

very impressive

Although this doesnt have much to do with flash, the algorithm u came up with for this movie is very impressive. I give u the benifit of the doubt and assume that U cam up with it and that u didnt just copy/paste it from somewhere else. I couldnt find any bugs because the 2 mazes i played had a good route to the other point and were pretty challenging. So on the technical aspect this game is really top notch. But then for the entertainment value. It was really annoying that the dot u controled reacted so slow to the arrow keys. I understand this is because its a heavy application but still (I dont have an outdated pc). The entire presentation was pretty dull too, since it consisted of 2 dots and some lines. And ofcourse the lacking in the sound area isnt something im too happy about. But still i give u credits for the code and the concept and i hope to see more of stuff from ur hand in the future. Adios.

[Beeku's Big Adventure Ch1]

amazing artwork

Finally another piece of u posted on newgrounds. Like always, I love ur artwork. Ur one hell of a drawer. (Especially the arrogancy episode 1 flash had me stunned). And same goes for this one. U managed to create a very complete game. Good artwork, style and gameplay. I can imagine it must have taken u months to finish this. So why not a 10? I feel bad telling u what i dont like bout it, but maybe it will help u in the future. The overall thing reminded me a little bit too much about alien hominid. Small cute main character, cartoony backgrounds & enemies, the moving & shooting & jumping and the huge levelboss. It kinda gave the thing a little bit a deja vu feeling. Also, i found it a little bit dissapointing that there were only 3 type of enemies and no other weapons. The enemies didnt really manage to entertain me, nor killing them. And finally i didnt really like the concept that u cant move from one place to another without clearing a screen first. Dont get me wrong, this was really good on the technical and visual aspect, but the game itself wasnt really addictive or fun to play. Sorry

excellent

Woa, the nostalgy. I used to have this game on the atari only then it was called missle command. Right now i am a little bit too old for computergames, but playing this game almost brings a tear back in my eye. Well very good job man. The game speed was perfect, the mouse handled all the missles well. Only pity i found out at about level 20 that the soft mode was too easy. Should have chosen the hard, grr.. Awesome, addictive game man

Fix this first

When u choose the futuristic blue blaster weapon u can raise ur score as high as u want by just holding down the spacebar. Every enemy will be automatically dead before it arrives in the screen.

well done!

I liked this game alot. Its nice to see and play a soccer game because im pretty much a soccerfan myself (go ajax!). Neway it was pretty funny and addictive but there are some points u need to work on. The entire tournament was a one-man-show the way i played it. Since the defenders were slower as the attacker i only played (scored and defended) with the attacker. The controls were good though, but it would have been better when both defenders moved automatically right and left with the attacker. And vice versa. Also try to implement fun stuff as an animated tackle and maybe yellow and red cards? What i was also missing were pass shots so u could pass the ball to the other teammates. And maybe a system that will make u shoot harder when u press the button longer? Finally i think it would have been cool if u gave the players names, just to personalize the whole thing a little. I know this game must have been hell actionscripting and if u are going to work on the things i said it will be an even bigger hell. But i still had good fun playing it and that is what a game is all about!

Thanks a lot for a useful review.

[Squirrel Squash 2]

Has potential

There are some things u really need to work hard on to make the game playable.

First of all i hate the fact that u can only see one background until u completely moved outa it. In the next background u will get surprised with a new situation. For example u run outa the first screen but then immediately fall into spikes in the second one because u never saw them comming.

Then i thought the music was superannoying. It were good songs but after u died the gamesoundtrack switches immediately to the disco billy jean one. This is kinda amateuristic. Make an animation when u die so u can see what killed u and then switch soundtracks.

Also it was hard to see what were enemies and what were powerups to catch. How the hell are u supposed to see that a cloud is dangerous?

Another point is that when u catch powerups u see gigantic bonuses in the screen which confuse u so u can fall in the spikes again

And last i thought the gamespeed was too fast. I know this is doubtable, but because of the fast speed i could barely enjoy the nice background drawings and other things u implemented. It also made the game extremely hard.

nice

omfg

That muchos roxordez. Although i was sceptical at start when i saw it were stick figures, the smooth animation, superb humor and unique style & coolness made me forget about it in a blink. Im astonished. The game was so sweet to play and the one liners were Monkey Island quality. Cant say much more, u simply need to check this shizzle out now. Even if ur a stick hater. And even if u are gay.

l to the izz ol

Woah, the game reminded me of the old skool NES 8 bit games like track and field where u had to push the buttons with ur fingers like a firing minigun to complete a level. I really like what u have done with this game, it was fresh and very funny. Although im usually not so easy with high scores i still give this game a 9. Its everything i expect from a flash game: original, entertaining and easy to play. Its aight that u cant play this game for hours, cuz when i play a flash game i just want to play it for a short time neway. I dont have time for shit that takes hours and hours ;) Thumbs up!
