absent's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[FlashChat v2]

This works??????

I was really surprised this worked so well, but it's great that it did! I can see that most of the people who use this are also plesantly surprised. But it has some serious problems for me. If this is going to be a chat program, you have to make more chat rooms because all I can see is a flood of messages zooming by. This looks awsome, keep improving it!

[The Ultimate Backmask]

Woah freaky!

Most people already know most of those things, but some of them I didn't know. You forgot one thing when making this though...A back button, the only way to get back to the song list was closing and reopening the window. Oh well.

TJN001 responds:

you were supposed to click the artists picture to get back. it said on the menu.

[Mario Invaders]

Meh, it's really only a start

You could have put a lot more work into this. You should add sound effects whenever you hit an enemy and add a dying screen. A lot more waves would good, maybe powerups and such. You should add bosses like bowser and different backgrounds for waves.

[Speedy Circles v0.85]

Well, it's short but it's good

I like this game, I thought it was pretty good. The game worked well and I didn't find any problems with the game right now. But this is not finished yet and I have a few ideas on what you could do. The music in the game is good, but you might want to add sound when you hit an enemy and a different sound when you hit a wall or something. To make gameplay better, you could have your circle go through a maze with moving walls and obstacles to change up gameplay a bit. I like the boss idea, but it seems the same as hitting the red circle. Maybe you could make the boss bigger, and you have to hit him in the weak spot.

Aldarnc responds:

Thanx for the review! I have already started work on a bigger boss and a few different gameplay ideas. I was also going to add sound fx in. The maze idea - i tryed one type and it didn't work very well, but that was with "breakable walls", it sucked. I may try one with just a maze though, like "get to the end before the timer runs out, or die", good idea. I'll go make it now.

[Bob the Blob - 3D]

In 3D!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like the 3D a lot, and I thought the cutscenes were pretty funny too. But I'll try to supply some comments. I think you need to add a sound or something whenever you kill an enemy. Maybe a chomp sound? You could add random powerups like invisibility or multicolors to make it more interesting.

[Rumble ball field 1]

Cool game!

This game was a lot of fun to play and quite addictive. However, I didn't think it had enough levels and there wan't enough challenge to the game. I'm not saying the game isn't hard, but you could add a few things to it. You might want to add a time limit that gives bonus points if you finish the level quickly. Or, if you increase the levels in the game, you could obstacles like spikes and such to add more difficulty. If you want to keep the simplicity of the game, these additions may not be needed, and the game would still rock as is.

GameBalance responds:

Hey, thanks! There will be more levels for sure. I'll made new fields. The hardnes of game is to get more score. I understand that people need some arcade feaures too. I think about it.

[Mario Bros]

This game has an unlimited amount of potential!

First of all, this has to be one of the best mario flash games I've seen. You can actually kill enemies, it has a time limit, and many more good things. The biggest problem is the sound which really is terrible. But for the most part, this is a good start for something that could be a lot better. Fix the sound, add levels, more enemies, and smooth out a few glithches and this could become really good. I look forward to newer versions!

[Mario Starcatcher 2]

This is good, but could always be better.

I thought the concept was pretty generic, but the gameplay was quite good compared to some mario flash games out there. I found a glitch with the blocks in level 9. After getting the coins near the top of the level, I couldn't get back down because the blocks, for some reason blocked my path back down. However, most of the gameplay is very good despite being a little too easy for me... A few suggestions? It would be great if you could make it side scrolling, but if that's too much, you could make it so you could kill enemies. That would add to the gameplay greatly.

[StickRPG *Complete*]

It was pretty good, but it needs more.

In this game, all you really do is build stats, sleep, build stats, sleep and so on for as long as you want to. That really isn't an rpg, but it's a good start to something that could be so much better. I hope that the next one can have more to it than just sleeping and stat building.
