Bluefox77's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Piratical Attack]

Limited

The level was enjoyable to a certain extent, however, I'd feel the game would be more enjoyable with the following:
More levels!
Powerups
High Scores, if more levels are added
And possibly different modes

The flash needs work but it'll get my thumbs up if some of these features are added to the game, 62/100 C+

PS, I liked the artwork. I understand that you do not possess the info to add powerups yet, but they would be a great addition.

smpowell responds:

Thanks. :) I think I'll try to get some help from my teacher to make updates on this. Adding levels and powerups, etc. I like the idea of enabling a high score, too.

[Perspective Tutorial .]

Insightful

When I saw this flashs page ( the one i'm writing this review on) my first impressions were "*sigh* not another perspective tutorial"., expecting to see a box drawn in 3 point perspective.

But I was wrong, I hadn't really known to much about perspective beforehand, only really the knowledge of drawing 1,2 and 3 point. You gave me a real insight into the workings of perspective.

Great job, 87/100 A+

[Fear Unlimited Issue2]

Boring and Glitched

It seems to me that the author rushed this game, and didn't really bother to test it out. Now, I've never been a fan of level grinding games but all this game really is a button mashing fest. The AI completely destroy the player even on the lowest difficulty level and the guns do virtually no damage whatsoever.

HOWEVER, this game does have some great features, the graphics were good and the comics were well drawn.

But this doesn't mean that it deserves medals, surely. The game was very glitched and difficult, these factors are the game's bad factors, fix those and you've got yourself a great game.

Needs work, 53/100 C-

[Light Snake]

An interesting rendition of Snake

This is a game that is simpl, yet addictive
The music was fairly relaxing and the SFX was good.
It had a good difficulty level, meaning it wouldn't go down with a fight.
And the high scores system compelled me to play more.
The shadows were a great addition.

Quite well made, 83/100 A

[Music Catch 2]

Beautiful

This is a calming and mesmerizing game.

PRO's
Good theme of music to use, lovely artwork for the notes, many options such as changing note artwork or the way that they appear, tracks were a good length, being not to long or short, enemies prevented player from just rapidly moving mouse back 'n' forth, and power ups were a great help.

CON's
It's a shame that there weren't more tracks
Can get a tad repetitive, however, exploring and listening to the tracks makes this easy to ignore.

It's really well made, 87/100 A+

[iMate900's AS Tutorial]

Where to begin?

This tutorial has 7 topics which are hardly explained, if you wish for your viewers to learn something perhaps explaining the script would be a viable option. Now, I'm not saying that this tutorial is bad, however, it lacks content and depth.

Also there are a variety of tutorials on this site alone which cover all of these topics but in greater depth, due to descriptions and an example or so with pictures.

Just another tutorial, which lacks clarity. 32/100 D

My advise, there's no need for small tutorials like this when we have Collabs 08, and 06 along with a plethora of Artist's resources and specialised tutorials. Perhaps making a game with your current knowledge would be a better choice?

[Death vs. Monstars]

Insanely addictive and fun!

I have never played a game like this before, very unique.

PROs
Control system was easy to learn, great graphics, fitting music, additon of online competition, perfectly set difficulty level AND suitable upgrades which aren't too empowering. Also different modes added to the games charm.

CONs
The game ended.
Got a tad repetitive, however, this is only a SLIGHTLY due to the addition of new enemies every level or so.

Well Done! Give yourself ( you too audio artists! ) a pat on the backs for making this to such a good standard! 97/100

[Portal Defenders]

Very Good

This is a game that certainly lives up to its genre.
The Good
Addition of achievements, Nice Minigames, Simple Control system,Nice Graphic, Health-ups, Challenging

THE BAD
A bit too challenging, as many have said, it's incredibly difficult, I've only tried Wadolf twice and get completely creamed with either characters, with practice I should beat him...
which leads me on to my second point, the amount of backtracking, getting killed and then starting at the beginning is a bit of a downer, a continue or lives could be a good option.

Overall, this is great, however, somewhat near impossible ( but this is just above what I'm accustommed to in difficulty).

87/100 A+

[DropSum Colours]

Great!

It was simple but so addcitive, the powerups were a good additiontoo, they were the key to getting a good score ( saving the powerups up).
My high score was 93,967, so apparently I'm 71% genius! WOOH! ...
The sounds got slightly annoying however with the combo streaks.

92/100 A+ Well Done
