[The Annoying Little Game]

It is annoying.

Haha. Great job guys, I really busted my balls trying to beat this game, it was actually very annoying trying to get past all the traps. The traps were very creative and fun to avoid. I also found that whenever you died, that the guy who says "Awww, etc", his chin is drawn to look like balls, is that supposed to mock you whenever you die? Anyways, it was still pretty fun and I enjoyed trying to make it to the end of this game. The one problem that occurred was that when I did die 37 times, I didn't get the medal. Who cares about the medals though? This game is still great with it's annoying ass traps, quick thinking spots and areas which trick you into thinking your safe.

Great job, keep up the good work!

[Sonic tournament ep 2]

Pretty good.

Hi.

Well, this is a decent flash, everything seems to be in order. I like that. The motion is very fluid and the sound and action is well done.

Graphics: 8/10
The graphics were okay, they weren't udder crap. They seemed to be fairly clean with this submission being a sprite animation/game. I like how you were able to make certain graphics for the attacks between Shadow and the Heavy Lobster. What I would have liked to see though, is some movement with the Heavy Lobster before it gets attacked. It just stands there. It could have been bouncing slightly.

Sound: 7:10
The sound was also good. I liked the sounds made with the attacks, and I also liked the background music (even if you did rip it from Kirby). What I would have liked to hear is more of a variety of sounds. Each time I do the same attack, the exact sound occurs. What would be better is if there was a slight alteration to show if the attack was more powerful or slightly weaker. The music also gets kind of repetitive. The battle music keeps looping and it makes game play seem to be slow. However, the sound was timed right (between attacks and movements) and the music did add more of an intense appeal to the battle. So for that I give you bonus points.

Game-play: 7.5/10
I did find the actual game sequence. I liked how I was able to choose different attacks and special abilities, that added some "flavor" to the game. What I didn't like was that it seemed kind of hard to beat the Heavy Lobster. That is probably just me though, so I didn't deduct any points there. What I did take points away from though is the fact that there wasn't much life to the characters. I would have liked to seen and heard some phrases of the character during the battle. I would have also liked to have seen the Heavy Lobster move a little or do something when it gets attacked.

Overall score: 10/10
I gave you a 10/10 because I found this submission decent and I sensed that some work and time was actually spent on this as opposed to some other things out there. The game play was pretty fun and I enjoyed trying to kill that Heavy Lobster. Good job. And with that, I hope to see you in some of your later works and hopefully you will have taken my opinions of improvement into consideration. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the bonus points for the 10, i'll work hard to fix those flaws for the next episode! :D

[Tetris Thrice 2]

Interesting.

This game isn't bad, but it isn't the greatest thing around. I don't really find this thrilling because it's nothing really new. I understand you put some time into this and added another way to play, and for that, I give you creativity points. However, it isn't all that different from regular Tetris.

So, what you could do in the future/remake of this game:
-include power-ups (time freeze, bomb blocks etc)
-put in bonus scoring methods
-get a better backgrounds (seriously, it looks so bland)

Alright, I hope to see you improve and I wish you good luck.

Good game.

Good game.
I like these kinds of puzzle games, it makes me think and use strategies to solve each level.
I like the music in this game, it makes me feel happy.

One thing that bothered me was the time limit, I was going good until I realized I had a time limit and once it was up, I had to submit my score. What might have been better would be just a level select, with a time bonus. So if you beat the level within the time limit you get a point bonus.

Overall, I liked this game, keep up the good work!

[Stargate TimeToSacrifice]

Not bad.

Not bad for your first submission.
I liked the game play, it was neat, I found it unique.
Those spider looking things are creepy, so I used each weapon to kill them.
It was fun.

What you could do for future submissions:
-put in power-ups
-more weapons
-different/more levels

Anyways, not bad job, keep up the good work!

[NINJA Brawl]

What a great game.

I played this game and it was great!

I like how you can get different weapons and upgrade you strength etc, it helps to beat up the bad guys.
I also like the different and creative characters and stages. I really found that neat. What I also liked was the music on each stage, that added some great gaming atmosphere.

The only thing I didn't like was that the levels sometimes seem to repeat themselves within it's course.

Anyways, great job and keep up the good work!

[Sydney Shark]

Wow!

Great job on the game, it's even more explosive than the last one.
I like the art style, it's unique.
I also like how powerful this shark is.
Good game to play when you just wanna destroy stuff.
The quality of this game is great, I love it when everyone panics!

Keep up the good work!

[Homerun in Berzerk Land]

The manliest launcher game around...

I think this is truly the manliest launcher game around. Especially since there is giant beer bottles, guitars, monster trucks, cannons, and hamburger clouds.
Great game!
The only problems is that there are no medals that you can get on Newgrounds, but that doesn't really matter to me.
Keep up the good work!

[Upgrade Complete!]

Fun

Level up games are fun.
