"Astounding"

submission: Z-Rox

date: September 22, 2008

I can't believe how freaking smart you've made me feel. Im at about 55 just now (Not thought about it but i felt ive played enough to write my review:P)

The game is great, its a love or hate game...if you give up too easily and just don't use your brain..you will not enjoy it. But trust me, if you really think about them, you get the greatest elated rush for getting them right.

As i said, youve made me feel pretty uber-smart. This game really could be used in some sort of spacial awareness test. I think it uses whatever part that is and your memory as well. (Thats what i think im using anyway)

To all you americans/canadians that can't get 53, you should be freaking ashamed. Im British and I got it without pen or paper! In fact, ive only used pen and paper for a particular one which i felt stupid for not getting straight away. Thats as big a hint im allowing you. Oh and 53 really was pretty harsh for those of us who don't 'use' it.

submission: HL1 Scientist Soundboard

date: August 1, 2007

There are alot of soundboards on NG but i think this is one i probably might use to piss of my friend. Hehe, he'll be all like "wtf!" until he actually remembers who used to say those sounds and reminice back to the days of HL1.

Great soundboard, a nice variety of sounds...but i dunno why you didnt include some of the briefings that the scientists give you. Lke when one says "I can't come with you, but you MUST get to the reactor room and..." etc etc.

submission: Onslaught 2

date: June 26, 2007

A really great game:D I played 2 hours before i started writing this review. It reminded me of 'rs Tower Defence VER3', even the towers were losely based on them. Its good for the fact that you are not limited to a grid, towers are completely unrestricted to where you can place them which is nice and allows for more scope when positioning them.

I really liked the combo system, its something new and different from other TD games, there must be SOO many combinations of them, they even combo with themselves hehe. Again, the combo system alows for a lot of scope and a tad more skill is involved when playing instead of the usual, "Place towers,upgrade and hope for the best" strategy.

I can see that the game isnt fully finished yet, im wondering what that 'Freakout' button is gonna do:D Plus you've already mentioned sound is coming in another review...but then again, adding sound is likely going to increase the FileS alot and its already nice and low.

As far as playability goes, its great since there are alot of different maps with their own strategies (Im about to play Lyne), and ive still to discover all the combos and their effects. Got wave 127, which is meh best so far but i should manage to improve on that, since it seems pretty sucky compared to some guys.

submission: Olympic Love

date: June 12, 2007

I had to look up on the actual official olympic games logo because i didnt actually know what it looked like and i thought you just tweaked it a bit/alot to make it like that....

But that is EXACTLY what the real thing looks like ffs, all you've done is animated it:D The guy who designed it must be like "wtf, mines was actually a joke, i didnt think it wud get picked!"

Score: 10

"Kick arse!"

submission: Mardek Rpg: Chapter 1

date: June 9, 2007

Now, a game has to be REALLY new, exiting and refreshing to get a perfect 10 from me. And obviously, that is exactly what this game is. I really love it. Course, there are other turnbased sprite games out there...but this one really DOES kickass. Its so polished and finely tuned and i really appreciate the attention to detail you have put into the environments.

At first i thought, "no, this game was done by a team of guys, can't be just one guy" but after a while i really did get the feeling this was a solo-project and the love and care and time that must have been put into it definately shows. For a game to be good, aside from shiny graphics and brilliant gameplay, it has to have "character" to make it rememberable. And the character is what really makes it good for me:P The characters themselves have accents etc. The dialogue is quirky, funny and there is even some lore in the bookcases which gives it a history and background if you would take the time to read. Personally, i tried to make sure i read every detail and didnt miss anything because i really wanted to know about this world. Kudos for not making ANY typos at fucking all! Christ, all the text some guys have will be in their Instructions and it will be next to unreadable.

Turn-based fighting has always pissed me off purely because it involves little skill. But the timed 'a+s+d' keys is ingenious i think. It brings in that skill element that makes it more fun for that type of gamer and it is well done at the same time.

I like the sound in the game too. Apart from the usual battle sounds the soundtrack you chose really complements the game. And the battle-screen graphics are nice enough. I didnt spot any major bugs (or little ones for that matter) and that is quite impressive for a game as in-depth and big as this. Oh yeah about 'as big'...how in the hell did you fit all this into 3meg?!

Overall, i really enjoyed playing this game. I can't wait for the next chapter...you have set yourself and every flash-rpg-artist an insanely high standard.

"Fun while it lasted..."

submission: Endless Zombie Rampage

date: May 12, 2007

Neat game, not bad amount of powerups but there could be more. I really liked how after about an hour of play, your map would be absolutely swimming in blood, even though it then became hard to see the zombies.

I got bored after about an hour and a half...i played with the shotties all the way thru until i got the SPAS and the Jackhammer with overkill...then it just became boring. You need to balance out the weapon prices more...keep the SPAS at that price but make the Jackhammer something insanely high like 45K or something...all i suppose it would do is just force you to play longer to get it and that might be tedious but oh well.
Gd game, but the guns need to be balanced as does the overkill powerup.

The rest is completely fine. A slightly above average top-down shooter overall.

Score: 7

"Should I Yay or should I Nay?"

submission: V-tech Rampage

date: May 12, 2007

Well, if I say i actually liked this AS a game, hopefully I won't go to hell. It is brilliant as a game, but just not on an entirelly appropriate subject. Their families will hunt you down mate :|

Even though it was sprites, violence has to go up just because of the subject matter, and i dare'nt put a point on humor.

But stilll, as i said its a good game as far as a game is concerned and I tried to base my score purely on the quality. I still don't know how it never got blammed by all those dicks wanting whistle points. I wouldnt be surprised to see it go on front page just as a statement but Tom might be too scared to on something as strong as this, although he's done it before...

Score: 7

"This could be great..."

submission: Cursor Attack

date: May 12, 2007

This could really be a great game...as it stands, its okay...smooth and simple. But i cant recall a game which involves the mouse cursor AS the weapon:P Sure, u always get shitty target reticles but having the cursor AS the weapon is a really neat idea.

Id LOVE for you to improve upon this game coz it has potential and the reason you get a 7 instead of 5 is coz I want you to make it into something more involving. A few things to mention though, when I hit a ball on lvl 2, it went so small i could barely hit it and the bullets/mini-cursors went straight thru it. When i did eventually hit it, and there was nothing on the screen, it wouldn't progress me to lvl 3. But anyway, its still a half-decent game just out of its simplicity and its neat control.

Score: 7

"I like!"

submission: Suicide Defence Game

date: April 14, 2007

Neat game, its really fast paced and i mean REALLY. Especially on the higher levels. I loved the retro lazor b33m sounds:P

A few things tho, just to make it a bit more streamlined...i noticed you had note to say you had already bought this on the first item, but when it came to the second upgrade it didnt tell you if you already had it or not. Also, when your pwning really hard and fast, the money counter goes kinda off, it did for me anyway. I had 5 gold all the way till i eventually died and was still able to buy health etc.

Rly good game all the same tho, the graphics aint shoddy and the gameplay is fun while it lasts. (About 10 mins at the most)

Score: 6

"I dont get it..."

submission: IndestructoTank!

date: April 13, 2007

Why does everybody think this game is so damn good? Sure, its got some shiny physics wow. The physics are actually pretty basic. The graphics are crude as well, although they do the job.

The thing that REALLY annoyed me though was that this game was based more on luck than skill. For the first couple of levels its pure luck and you just have to hope you get some spawns before you run out of fuel. Its like the game starts hard, and gets easier as you play O.o.
Level 3 was the worst, you get a spawn every 5 seconds or something which is NOT enough to even hope for a decent combo. Overall, a decent game, but its not as damn good as everybody says it is! It even got a prop on the frontpage news ffs! Not good enough for that.
