EagleRock's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[purplepanda physics]

Very nice

I always enjoy a physics demo in flash, as they represent good coding and are fun to play with. While not as addicting as, say, a full-fledged game, they are always good to play with and are always worth a good vote.

I enjoyed your water demo, but the "plasma" effect seemed a bit wierd. I get the idea behind it, as it seemed to be a 3-d effect. I'd play with this more and add more effects that you could play with. I'm sure adding a few more physics demos and re-releasing it would net you a really good-scoring flash.

Best of luck, and thanks for the submit!

Super Polished

I love it. Way to bring Drug Warz into the 21st Century. This is front-page material.

I'd give you constructive criticisms, but I have none to give. Thanks for the great flash!

[K-FED: Dancing with Fire]

Wow

This flash was quite amazing, I must say. It shows how far Flash has come since Flash 3, as the potential is so much more.

I also LOVED the Newgrounds intro...

Thanks for submitting!

[Mini Adventure]

OH MY GOD

This has to be one of the funniest games I've played in a while. I like the way the game was so well-made, but the sounds were just so corny. I laughed every time I hit the gas! Quite the combination!

Please make more games like this...I could use some good laughs!

Thanks for the great submit!

Not Bad, But Can Use Improvement

I will make the make longer/add preloader comments short per your request, but do realize they can make or break a flash. I do realize that you want to improve the basic concept before you make it longer and add the preloader, though. Here's a few tips:

Nice background, but hard to see - For instance, on level two, I couldn't see the thin black line that forces you to go into the "windmill" area. Making said line white will contrast it against the motherboard. Barring that, maybe making the background lighter would help.

Prevent right-click winning - Granted, I am not familiar with the method required to do so, but I'm sure a quick tutorial in AS will teach you how. Just a thought if you want people to work for victory, rather than cheat. ;-)

Make it so you don't have to click to get to the next level - While it's good to click on "Start" to prep you for the level, it's not necessary for the end. I'd just switch the button code to be triggered when mouseovered instead of clicked.

Keep it up - You have a lot of potential here, and I'd like to see you keep working on it. Just make sure, once you get the game the way you want it, to add that preloader! :-)

Wow

I never thought I'd see a sequel to this game...I'm amazed!

Thank you so much for such a great game!

[Paper Asteroids]

Excellent Game

I really enjoyed this!

Note that this is your basic cookie-cutter drop-down shooter, but you did many things right that made me love it:

- The graphics were really awesome. I love the whole "on paper" theme as well as the sketchy, "Rejected"-like animation of the different objects. It actually made me think of the doodles I used to make in class!

- The gameplay is simplistic, but it's really good. The power and health bars looked really nice visually, but I also like the way they regenerate and the fact that this is your simple "stay alive as long as possible" game. Perfect for a lunch-hour timekiller.

I really like this game a lot. I'd recommend you take more simple games (maybe Space Invaders or other simple arcade games) and remake them in this way. I'd sure as hell play them!

Also, if you're looking for a challenge, one other thing you could do to this flash is to make the score in the same fashion you did everything else. Granted, that'd be very hard to do with AS, but hey...it's a though if you're looking for a way to better this game. There's really no other way to do so.

Thanks for your great submit! I hope to see more "paper" games from you!

Smith responds:

thanks for the review. if i get some more good feedback like this i might just make another "paper" game

This is one of the most hilarious games I've played in a long time. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to play it!

[Educational: Alcohol]

Not Bad

I usually dislike educational flash on Newgrounds. It's not that the flash aren't good, but it's simply because they are sumbitted to an audience that doesn't care about it. The ones that are the worst in particular for NG are the school projects.

However, yours had a spunk to it unlike the others. Yours was tailored to the NG users, as it was made interesting (and the music kicked ass). I personally never had a problem with educational works, but I would always vote low on them for the reasons above. Yours, however, really impressed me. I'm sure you will get a lot of positive feedback for this one.

Thanks for the sumbit!

[Make-a-Car updated]

Great Potential

The only reason I gave you a 3 is because the game is unfinished. Though, if you complete the sections you boast (especially story mode), it will skyrocket your flash above all of the other racing games (including dragracer). I hope for your sake and for Newgrounds in general that you finish the game, as you show plenty of potential!

Thanks for the submit! Good luck on its completion!
