simbrian's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Crazy Tracker]

good

It was fun for the first few levels, and then I noticed some problems with it:

-powerups appearing in impossible locations
-the machine parts did not speed up as you did. This makes it almost impossible to get past some of them without taking a hit, especially with the large rotating devices.
-I didn't like how you spin a bit after each hit. I understand that it's to simulate being "stunned" but it only ensures that you'll get hit again right after the invincibility goes away. That feature needs to go.

[2112-Coop Chapter4]

not as good as the first three.

-No longer multiplayer. Why not have the guy find a friend to help him hunt for his buddy?
-This one felt less like a shooter and more like a puzzle game. Poor show.
-In one room the enemies respawned while the others stayed dead.
-Health bars went into the negatives. Why? Stupid. If you want to give them more health to make up for the power of the gatling gun then just make a larger health bar, don't let it go into the negatives.

I did like the first three but now I see it going downhill. If it was fixed and a lot longer I would even probably pay $20 for a full game like this. But not as it is.

[2112-Coop Chapter2]

amazing

For a flash game, that was an epic experience. A little short but that's understandable.

Everything was beautiful and I had fun playing it. An automatic weapon would be nice in the next version.

[Thing-Thing Arena 3]

good

I would have liked a little more varied terrain, and I found the weapon switching system to be a little confusing. Melee weapon upgrades would also be excellent.

Still an excellent way to kill 10 or 20 minutes though. Very entertaining.

[Death vs. Monstars]

amazing shooter

Loved every second of it!

Nice sounds, fun levels, and beautiful eye candy.

I agree with the comments about it being too easy though. The final boss and the level before it were no problem after you get the last gun and max out the health upgrades. Maybe cut down the weapon power or something?

And if you were to make a sequel with more levels, enemies, upgrades and bosses then i'll have found the perfect game.

[Arachnid Wars 1.5]

definitely an improvement

I just wish that all spiders either did less damage or had more health. Battles seem so short with guys dying after two hits.

Most people would find that boring.

[Bumper Boat Battle]

not horrible

Well the game looks good. Sounds I don't know because I had my speakers off. I found the arena to be too small to properly navigate and lure them into my traps. Splash damage, enemy health bars, and different weapons would be most handy. Some different battlefields would be useful too, with sandbars that you can get stuck up on and stuff. Momentum should also be cut right down to zero after a level is done. It's annoying when I run into a wll right after I leave that upgrade screen.

You get a high score because I see good potential if it's polished a bit more. PM me if you want a few more ideas.

[Deadpile Rampage]

very good fun

loved playing this game, just a few minor suggestions:

- all of your weapons were very well-designed. A few more and the ability to hold multiple weapons at a time would be most helpful.
- I would have liked enemy bullets to be a brighter color so they're easier to dodge.
-a WASD/mouse control scheme would be nice since you can't really shoot down on an angle

still, great game dude. Kept me amused for quite a while!

must have taken a ton of work, I applaud your ginormous effort!
