raitendo's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ultimate Robotnik Duels]

Niceness

As a game, I think this is flawed in many ways, the controls are dodgy, the characters fly around too fast, some of the weapons don' t work that well (that grabber thing) and the levels would be so much better if they were bigger (and scrollable), to mention a few.

However, this is such a kick-ass idea I cannot give you anything but a five. The game also has some redeeming features, the graphics are put together in a good way, it's pretty fun to play and we can chose between a bunch of different characters! awesome!

unrelated, why didn't you get this game sponsored?? I bet you could have got at least 200 dollars from armorgames or Crazymonkeygames.

Anyways, I hope you make an even more kick-ass sequel with more weapons, better controls and more interesting, scrolling levels.

Digimaks responds:

Grabber thing is too powerfull- 4 hit points in a row. So I made it Slow.

Having Game Sponsored- 1) don't know how :(
2) Sonic Team might not like that move.
3) Don't want to be depended on armorgames or Crazymonkeygames, because afraid of being dominated by them. who knows.. :\

scrolling levels, .. well i'll think about it. because the graphics are at the bottleneck of chocking the Framerate. and gamespeed.

YES- for sequel.

where's the game?

This is like the first sketch, this is when you have the engine running, this is where you're thinking "this will become a nice little game" and then you start adding stuff that makes it, you know, a game. I can generally appreciate simplicity but this is too basic (in my opinion)

...

"For those who think the game is too hard, it isn't. If I can go through without losing a life, you probably can too. Please dont grade TOO MUCH on the difficulty of the game."

That's a really arrogant attitude. If the reviewers say it's too hard, it IS too hard, what you can do or not is not relevant, considering how much time you've probably spent playing it yourself while making it. And don't tell people how to grade.

The game is OK, but the graphics are awful, pseudo-3D doesn't work too well with flash. and a dodge function is pretty much standard even for flash games of this genre.

And oh yeah, it is too hard. Since you went ahead and implemented difficulty levels, I mean, just make it easier! If people want a challenge they'll play it on the hard setting.

It's still a good game

But there's hardly anything new to it, compared to the previous version. I think it's misleading releasing it as a new game.

[supersoldier]

cute

but I'm finally getting past the stage where I go "YAY! SYNJ! 10!!", only very recently though :)

That said, I think it's great of Dan Paladin to work together with younger talents like Tyler Glaiel, makes me happy I'm a (indefinately small) part of NG. what a dream for a 15 year old, to make a game with a video game developer!

[Christmas Castle Defense]

great potential but definately too hard

I think the balance might have been better before you changed it, but now it's impossible to get past level 4. and the specials don't work at all, nothing happened!

need instructions as well.

[Armor Dude]

I kept thinking to myself "what was he thinking??"

This is a good game, but that's a shame because it should have been a great game with a score of 4+!! But it seems you're not getting the frontpage now and I'd like to tell you where I think you went wrong with this game, so you hopefully can learn and get on the frontpage next time!

First of all I wanna start with what you did right. Graphics are really good, menus are frickin' awesome(!!!), character design lovely (I loved the ogres), animation is good, cutscenes a nice touch. It's a fresh take on an old concept, and it's pretty fun.

Now, where you went wrong! The game lagged on my computer and this notebook I bought one month ago (1.6 ghz 1.2 gb ram). The graphics weren't that detailed so the game should definately not lag. I think I can tell who's the culprit though: The Flash 8 filters! You're over-using the blur filter and it's destroying the fun for loads of people who don't have the absolutely greatest computer around.

The controls were so-so. The rolls were good but I wanted to be able to either jump or run, the game felt really really slow. And maybe you could have done a second button for attacks instead of just having combos on one button? That might make the game feel more varied. Varying the control scheme won't take that much time and I think it's really rewarding to do so, in terms of gameplay.

In summary: Less filters, make the game faster and vary the control scheme.

I hope you make more games in the future and reap loads of portal awards! Good luck!

MasterFury responds:

you have a slow computer. 1.6ghz is very slow if you got a computer about a month ago you should have about
3+ ghz. this game was made on a 2ghz comp and only has moderat slowdown at some points in the game.

[Fear Unlimited Full Edit]

great presentation, poor game

but it's flash, right, what you gonna do?

great (GREAT) work on the presentation but the game itself was mediocre. Pretty good work on the different combinations and everything but the same enemy over and over again got me bored on the first level (I gave you a chance and played till the second one as well, which was just more of the same). You might want to add scrolling backgrounds as well. And maybe make the enemies die a bit quicker, that was pretty tedious. Graphics were pretty mediocre, especially animation. The main character was done reasonably well though.

Dizimz responds:

I said it once and ill say it again there are five sidescrolling missions
so play the actual full game

[The Urban Wizard bling ed]

poor form

I think it's very poor form of you to release the exact same game twice. You're stealing an award from somebody who deserves it. I tested the old version and there was no problem with it. Had there been a problem, why not re-upload the older one? "Bling ed" brought nothing new as far as I could see. Really poor form.

(and the game itself is really tedious)

[Fresh Prince vs. The KKK]

I liked this

I thought it was a great game but it pisses me off when I read the reviews to see how many racists there are here at newgrounds. how the hell can anybody accuse this game of being "reverse racism" (whatever that's supposed to mean)? or that other guy who accused this game of being "fascist towards the kkk". DO YOU FUCKING KNOW WHAT FASCIST MEANS YOU STUPID B**F**K??

I loved the graphics and the style. more different enemies would have been fun though.
