FlameTH's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[William and Sly]

My God!

The graphics were beautiful and the gameplay was solid but for the love of God would you fix the Boss.

It has almost no pattern, it just pops out of randoms sides of the map with almost no warning.

It's almost impossible and you need to be damn lucky.

Kajenx responds:

When his mouth is closed he's lining up to attack the opposite part of the cave. i.e. Flies across bottom with mouth closed, attacks top.

[Lamarr Is Going Home]

Ugh...

There are SO many things I hate about this game.

The game extremely picky about pixels touching each other...alright that's fine. Have multiple things on the screen that may delay your movement...alright I can dig it.

But putting an object on the screen that people wouldn't consider a threat is just fucking stupid!

Better yet, the game has the nerve to have a fucking timer just to make the game even LESS fun!

Why add a timer? Almost every time someone adds some sort of timer mechanic to a game instantly ruins it, as it forces you to gun it making you mess up constantly.

Really, the graphics are great but the gameplay is just God awful. I like a challenge but seriously why should I keep playing this annoying game?

And I got to the sewer level till I quit trying.

TmsT responds:

You're right... You sure do hate this game.

Yep.

[In Utero]

Another good challenge.

The boos was a pretty good challenge; died three times before getting the boss' attack pattern down.

However, the only nitpick I had with the game was tilting while going up and down. Seemed that it could of gone with out the tilting but that's just me.

Otherwise nice job on the game!

FetusFulp responds:

i thought that tilting gave it an interesting flow. like you're not just some random acrobatic sperm gliding through nothing. plus it lends to some interesting strategies, like clearing out enemies below you.

thanks (:

[Angrai Faic Rampage!!]

Entertaining.

Nothing much to say really considering how little there is to do in the game but it does do the job with the entertainment department.

The music fit perfectly with the images of the game.

And your first game? Awesome job!

TheShyGuy responds:

Thanks! I tried to get it so the music went well ;)

[Shinland]

Bit of a mess...

When I first started the game up I noticed something bizarre about a few of the controls.

That being the attack button.

Why the hell is that up there when the action button is below it? It get's kinda awkward to handle when you have to have your hand consiantly clicking the little arrows in the dialogue boxes; Would have been a bit better to just have the action button do that considering that's what the action button is bloody meant for. Making the attack key the S key would help a bit.

(Although I have a laptop so that can be excused but think of the little people.)

Problem solved!

Now moving on to the actual game...

When I first, I got first simple platforming to do. Now, I noticed another little tick I have with the game and that's the character constantly sliding about. Sure it isn't annoying NOW, but when you have to jump on small little platforms it can get a bit annoying.

Then I run into another little problem.

I talk to the old-woman-thing and she's wondering if I want to learn how to throw knifes. Why would I need to know, ther was a tutorial on the first page of the game? So I say 'no' yet she still fucking teaching me something I already knew from the beginning of the fucking game.

That's just pointless. If I don't want to learn something so trivial then I don't fucking want to.

Then if that wasn't enough the game pulls another one. After I die after trying to vigorously kill a bouncing apple with my knifes, I'm then suddenly in what seems to be a small town.

...

Alright...

Then I try to find were I was in the first place.

Ugh.

Really, all there is to do is to grind like fucking mad if your ever going to want a chance of beating the game and I simply don't have the patience for that and the fact that grinding is the most unfun activity of gaming witch ruins half of them (Like this one.)

I could mention alot more about the gameplay but I won't bother.

So the gameplay isn't too nic-wait I forgot another thing!

Why is it that when your walking towards another screen you go to the next one when your clearly no where near the edge of the screen your on?

Now that gets annoying really fast since you can't tell where exactly the invisible line is. Half the time I found myself fighting a giant ant only to magical be on another screen with him at full health again.

Ugh...

But I'm just being picking, now where was I?

On yes.

So the gameplay isn't too nice but what about the graphics?

...

As previously stated in other reviews the characters look like they were ripped from Maple Story. Not only that but the monsters make absolutely no sense. I know that it's a game but really.

A giant anger apple that explodes?

Giant ants?

You could have been a bit creative there, might want to touch up on that next update. along with the fact that they don't even match the graphics of the human characters besides the "Final Boss" They look more 3D than anything.

The main character is also kinda badly designed as he looks a bit like an emo...alright maybe A LOT like an emo...

Now if you touch up a few of these minor or and big problems this could be a decent game to waste your time on.

Get luck with the next one. (If you're going to do it.)

bennywong3011 responds:

wow. ur really picky huh. so what is ur perfect type of game? may i ask please. I dont know what can satisfy you. But i really want to know what is your favorite type of game is or the name of it. The stuff u just mention never even ever crossed my mind? =/ It's just weird.

[House of Horror 2]

Argh...

While I love creepy games like these this one...was o.k in some aspects.

The choice of music was good.

The artwork and gameplay was what brought this down. First, why didn't it tell me the fact that bodies held clues if I just clicked them again. I didn't need the hint till upstairs which is where I got stuck.

I'm sure I can just play again to get the things that were on the bodies but your not meant to click out of a game if you screw up and try again because you forgot something downstairs.

Don't let the person go upstairs unless they have everything cause then you're just leading them to a dead end if you let them trap themselves upstairs.

Just tweak the game a bit.

Oh and for glitches, when you click the body on the second floor with the weird stab mark in the chest, a code box shows up. but if you just click where the entrance to the first floor used to be it brings you to the code box.

Not sure if that's a glitch or not.

So, just play test the game a bit or get others to would be better and fix some of the problems.

stigolafxcker responds:

I was mainly focusing on part 2, because I have already submitted part 1 by itself... I see what you're saying though. Thanks for reviewing.

[Dark City]

Broken or what?

Ugh.

Another badly made game up for the chopper.

While the artwork was o.k it didn't help much with the horrible balance with the hordes of demons coming to eat your ass and that your weapon is fucking useless considering it's a hit or miss.

I shoot one about seven times and it didn't die. Did you test the bloody thing to see if it was playable or even fun in the least? Cause it wasn't fun in the very least.

Broken gameplay.

Fix it.

WryGrin responds:

Sorry about the invinciable ones... i have no idea why they do that... the good news is they don't actually take off "health" (ie kill survivors). They're just ghost renders... I'm trying to fix it as we speak...

[WALL HALL]

Might want to "reskin it"?

It was an entertaining game. Nothing new or anything but I had fun with it.

But if you want to make it better, replace the objects with other more interesting things.

For example, you could replace the circle with a spaceship and make the blocks electric fences or whatever comes to mind.

This your first game?

LiveDoro responds:

2nd actually. But my first game to have any action whatsoever. My first game was a quiz.

[Sonny]

It's great...

But, I can't get pass those S.W.A.T guys! D :

I can take out two of the small guys or just the big guy, but they always kill me. D : I'm wondering if it's the class I picked, but this is getting me down! D :

But really. This is a great game and a pretty interesting story. Wonder how that Sonny's friend died in one shoot if he had like 984 health, but hey, it's an RPG. : P

Anyway, nice job!

Krinn responds:

YOU CAN'T BEAT THOSE SWAT GUYS!? Try using Suppression right at the start. Kill the "Assault" first, then the medic, then the Captain.

Good luck! Glad you liked it!
