FattyWhale's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Accumulate]

K

^^Good Points^^
Truly an addicting and classic game here. Reminds me a lot of Squares, but with a bit of a twist. Very fun to play and extremely addicting. The game play was smooth and fun. Definitely a game to play again.

^^Needs Improving^^
That music could be changed its really just unoriginal and was in a lot of the puzzles games I've looked at.

Cybex responds:

Yeah, I wasn't sure about the music. I was aware that it's been used in so many submissions, but i felt it fitted my game so well I couldn't not use it.

[One Versus Ten]

K

^^Good Points^^
I really like games like Super Smash TV and Berzerker, and it's definitely a good idea for you to make a Flash adaptation of these games, I think it could be cool.

^^Needs Improving^^
The controls are not that good. I like the spread direction and fire controls, but for whatever reason shooting didn't come easy. Probably something in the coding, but it never shot when I hit the button the first time.

Undisclosure responds:

Thank you for the helpful review. I'm glad you expanded on why there was problems with the controls (previous reviews just mention that there was problems with the controls with no other explanations. Of course, I was intending for the player to hold down the shoot key rather than tapping it repeatedly.)

If I make a successor to this game, I will be sure to fix the control problem as well as the lag.

[Waxbeetle soundboard]

^^Good Points^^
There are a lot of sounds scattered on this whole thing, and they all work from what I have tested and are labeled well. Could be good for a prank call. Volumes were even too, which was good.

^^Needs Improving^^
The graphics weren't attractive at all. Other than that you really need more phrases in here. It might be hard to make a realistic sentence with just a bunch of single words.

randomaster0 responds:

Thanks for the feedback, this is literally the first time I have ever used flash so I'm not that good with it. I'm currently in the middle of another soundboard it will be slightly better; more sounds and better layout.

[Pico Day: Blam The Virus]

K

^^Good Points^^
Not the worst Pico Day game. I liked the intro movie you added, and the menu was pretty cool as well. The sound effects and music were cool, and the game functioned fairly well. Good detection and high difficulty.

^^Needs Improving^^
The interactivity could use some work. For example, once you clicked to start a level, you couldn't go back and choose another. Nor did you know if the level would ever end. I blammed 100 crap without any notification of a new level or anything. You should think about introducing new crap in waves.

DrClay responds:

yeah i wanted more but the stupid flash got all fucked up so i had to settle for this. it wasnt even suppost to be endless. It was suppost to be a mission where you have 3 chances to defend each level. though for some reason it would play when i told it to go to a scene and that became to much of a problem so i had to do this. i got so pissed off. >:(

[Pico Pong]

K

^^Good Points^^
A great selection of different songs in this to keep one entertained. The idea isn't bad, its a lot better than most crappy Pong knock offs around now. Also, nice job on adding different difficulties.

^^Needs Improving^^
Is Frick mode supposed to be some joke? If not then there are some serious issues because the enemy gets a point whether you hit the ball or not, and this is very evident.

Momo-the-Monkey responds:

^^Good Points^^
Thanks, I do have a knack for choosing good songs, and yes, I actually tried on this pong game, so I'm glad it's better than other crappy pong games

^^Needs Improving^^
Yea, it's a joke. Apparently no one around newgrounds can take a joke :\

[The Complete Simspons SB]

K

^^Good Points^^
You had a good variety of funny quotes from various characters, lots of them in fact. Most of the buttons worked and I like how it was organized.

^^Needs Improving^^
Well, the entire Krusty page doesn't work at all, so you may want to consider revising that part. Also, the graphics weren't really impressive. If you want a SB to do well, you have to have really catchy graphics.

bennej1 responds:

Please can you review it again
(I have fixed the krusty sounds)

[The Bankrobber]

K

^^Good Points^^
Very well made game. The game is extremely functional and was easy to get a hang of. The help menu really helped to understand the game. The graphics were very clean and very detailed with a lot of strategy to get by all of the many obstacles in each level.

^^Needs Improving^^
I don't really like the comic idea in the beginning. It just seems to me like a cheap way to get out of animating a full opening.

Youdagames responds:

Some people just don't like Comics.
We like comics and we don't feel that it is anything cheap.
Sorry man we can't satisfy everyone.

[Kingdom Fire Demo]

K

This submission was truly amazing. One of the best games I've ever seen here on NG, no doubt. The time went into it is extremely obvious. The graphics are very clean, good animations and extensive drawings of the items. The game play itself is extremely extensive for a game made in Flash. The magic system and leveling system was very classic, and worked very well. The game is very reminiscent of RS, which has good concept to it, and this is no different. I could play the game for hours, and would have, except that the save function is not working at the time, which is my only complaint. I could go on forever about the great things in this game, because pretty much everything is near perfect.

Nemo responds:

Thanks! I ended up spending about 5 months of time working on this (well, from start to finish, with a few "breaks" in between). This game definitely tops my list for amount of time put into it, and most of it was ironing out all of the bugs, which still is not complete... haha. I'm really glad you enjoyed it and hope you will like my future projects. Thanks again!

[Unique Universe]

K

^^Good Points^^
This is a unique game. The game play gets progressively harder to find the phrases, and the time limit really makes it challenging. Good music and functionality of the game.

^^Needs Improving^^
It's a typing game, which isn't the best kind of game, especially when it is a slow paced one like this. Also, it would be nice if I didn't have to click to submit my answer each time. It would be much easier if I could just hit enter or something.

Thanks for the review, I just tried to do a unique idea, see how it works. Thanks for the improvements but I won't be making any changes to it as it is done and dusted but I will certainly take your ideas inot the next game I make.

[Ed's treasure]

K

^^Good Points^^
Not a bad game here. Its kind of cool how you have to simultaneously use the arrow keys and the mouse to move independent things, which was really hard to learn how to do, but that just makes the game challenging. Good graphics and functionality in this game.

^^Needs Improving^^
Definitely should have made the light movement WASD, just because it is more convenient.

Abs55 responds:

Thanks for the review, I'll certainly think about making the keys WASD as well so people have an option of using either keys.
