Little-Rena's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Windows XYZ]

Needs Work

There's nothing really too new about this that seperates it from other Windows flash like this, that and this one has a few problems with it. Such as the paint program you put into this, it allows you to draw on the desktop, which might need fixing. Also, while allowing the users to move windows around, it can cause the window to get stuck to the cursor so you have to close the game.

The icons have a weird white pixilated area around them, that might need fixing, maybe draw your own icons. The start menu seems to be badly layed out too, which isn't good, look wise this needs work, some of the jokes are fine but it would be nice to see some more activity.

The programs work, unlike others.

[NSG014: ASFree]

Intresting

Thought I wouldn't say this is without actionsctipt because you use actionscript in the buttons don't you? So yeah, it doesn't seem to be totally without it, though trying to follow a long line that's narrow seems to be pretty hard to do, maybe something a little easier to start and harder as it goes in.

The game itself is pretty intresting, though not really the most exciting game to play, more than just holding and draging to get to somewhere would have been nice, clues to where it is too, like riddles and such. Maybe a little more actionscript would be needed than just buttons but yeah. Also maybe show a timer for it, would help, lol.

Bezman responds:

I already explained this all in the BBS thread that I link to above.

The buttons don't use AS - I just use the different frames to show changing graphics. Seriously, no AS.

You get to see the button fading out as you go over it. Is a timer really needed?

Riddles might be cool, but hard to think of... still, I've got an idea...

Thanks for the review!

[Evasion - Tequila]

Pretty Simple

The idea to this game is pretty simple and it's pretty simple to learn too. The little game on the preloader could have had more than just running to it, not sure what you could have had. The game itself it's too entertaining though, it's very simple and the objects aren't that plesent to look at, some better graphics would be good.

The sound is okay and everything else, can't really think of much else to say, it's really just a standard avoider game when it all comes down to it, better graphics would be good and everything.

MinusNick responds:

When you say "The game itself it's too entertaining though," are you saying it isn't entertaining or it's TOO entertaining, lol. I'll assume the negative :( I'm sorry you didn't like the falling objects. I tried to make it a little better than a standard avoider by adding lasers, comments, and a crazy background, but I guess that wasn't good enough. Next time maybe! Thanks for the review!
But now I'm probably getting 6's from now on :(

[Tic Tac Toe Cubed]

Intresting

It's definatly an intresting idea to have and is set out very well which is good to see, though there is one thing that bothers me about this, it is quite hard to tell from the 3D version where everything is and the 2D charts aren't all that easy to tell either, though maybe spending more time on playing, I'd pick it up.

The music is pretty good and the gameplay is pretty good, as well as the 3D version being pretty cool looking, lol. So good job on that and on much of everything here. Not sure on what you could improve here, much of it seems good enough already.

CaptinChu responds:

I was thinking of adding a glowing box for each cubicle place every time you hovered over a 2D part. With what I knew at the time I made this, I couldn't very easily do that, but the next version may have a feature like this.

[Stabika: 99 Red Balloons]

Kind of Simple

It doesn't really come across as a really complex game to me, as well as when you have a lot of ballons moving across the screen, it seems to lag the whole game, for me anyway, though the more that go, the smoother it gets. I played this first by clicking then wondered if you had the Alt+Enter exploit to this game, but it seems you have fixed that, so good work on that.

The quality of the music was a bit eh, maybe export at a higher setting or something, it really sounded like the music suffered here and some of the buttons had some pretty poinless effects, keep them simple but plesent looking. The game was easy to learn to play, but hard to click at first due to the lag of the game.

Matt-Porter responds:

I'm worried about my bigger projects going all laggy now, scary stuff. I guess I should really start testing all my games on a worse computer, mine just doesn't experience lag at all. As for gameplay mechanics, it's definitely a simple game and that's all it was meant to be. The audio quality was a little lower then what I wanted, but I really liked the 1MB file size so I said the hell with it, it seemed worth the decrease in file size. Thanks for noticing my ALT + ENTER fix, I thought it was pretty clever hehe.

Thanks for reviewing, keep an eye out for stabika 3 and be sure to review it :)

[Scottoons Cat-a-pult]

Pretty Simple

Well it's a pretty simple game to play and everything however it really does seem to work, nothing wrong with it that I can really spot. Although I must say compared to other games like this, this one seems to be a little easier, you have more control while in the air, so it makes it that little easier. Although still not the sort of game I'm keen on but pretty good.

The sounds are good and the effects are nice, also the counter is pretty good and fits with the thing. Instructions might want to be a little more in depth but they where good enough I thought anyway. The graphics where pretty nice and everything, so overall a good job on this game.

Scottoons responds:

Thank you very much, Little-Rena! It's good to know that it appeals to those who aren't usually into these types of games.

[NG Preloader: The Game2.5]

Not Very Fun

It's not really a very fun game to play, there isn't a whole lot here that is very entertaining, there could really be so much more. The presentation of the menu was nice and the main game background was nice but the game itself didn't have much to it, it really just seemed to be a bunch of random buttons put onto one frame and you had to guess which was the right one.

I would recommend having some more point to the game, maybe have a method of actually working out which is the right button. As for having all play buttons and calling it a preloader game is kind of eh, maybe some more ideas in the way of making it a game about preloaders.

Chaz-o responds:

Well.. that IS the bastic concept of the game.

[What an awesome Dress up]

Yeah

Well as far as dress up games go, this does exactly what it says it does, you can dress someone up in diffrent clothes. It's nothing to exciting though, I mean you have a nice combernation of clothes but not too much else to do. Why is it hard to find something for a mouth too and the eyes don't have pupils, lol. Somethings could be improved on this with the face items.

Also, you are limited to one person to dress up, more would be a little better, though once you have created a look, what's after that. There is little aim to dress up games I find most of the time. But the drawing is pretty good and the sound is clear, pretty nice work.

I got excited after learning the coding for dragging stuff and couldn't think of anything else to make.

[NG Tutorials: B/P Pts]

Not Ammused

This sends a poor message out to people, as oppose to helping a problem with blaming and protecting or actually giving a helpful guide, it's pretty much telling people how to blind vote and still get points from it. This send the wrong message and isn't something that a tutorial should be written about, try changing the message to something that would help people, by telling them what the numbers do and explaing voteing power.

The looks to this where very basic too, the buttons where kind of hard to read and the background was a little slow. Also, while on the subject of looks, it is very badly laid out, the text is easy to read but the pictures just seem to be placed randomly. The loop fits with the theme, but gets annoying after a while, consider a mute button.

Just turn the volume down then

[A How to of Sprites]

Eh, Okay

The preloader was pretty intresting with the comments there, though not really needed. The main menu looks a little bleh, it could look a little better, a nice background and some buttons there would have been good. The whole tutorial could have had a better layout too, it was quite bland and not too plesent to look at which makes me as a viewer not really intrested in the tutorial. The content was pretty standard with all Sprite Tutorials, nothing too new in terms of content.

It does help for those who are intrested in making sprite animations, but it doesn't really want to make you read it. The music isn't too good either, though you have a mute button, try something more calming and have some backgrounds, more than just an image of Shadow. So yeah, several improvments to be made here, good luck with future tuorials.

knuxrouge responds:

Last time you said that my layout was too much. Its hard to gauge whats just right in terms of background and overall layout for everyone. The thing about opinion from the outside is they have little clue how hard it is to appease everyone.
You complain about the lack of a detailed layout, but in my preloader tutorial, you complained about the layour all together---I focused more on the usefulness of the flash rather than how spiffy it looked. If you don't like the music, well tough nuts. Some people liked it, some didn't. I'm not supposed to know what everyone likes nor do I care, in terms of music I get what I like since I know I can't appease to everybody who views this.
