simbrian's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Evolution Squared]

charming

It's like a fishy clone! Definitely not Spore you idiots.

A charming little game. Cool music and it all looks nice. Good job.

[Space Pips]

i love it

beautiful game, just a few small problems:

-What's up with the health? Only 10%? and the price goes up awfully fast
-enemies spawn way too close to you. a minimum radius would be awesome.

Fix those and add some more upgrades and this game will be PERFECT!

[Flash Empires 3]

very good

Suggestions:
-I would have liked more variation with the different types of soldiers. Every wave was almost the same after like level 10 or something. It got very dull.
-more upgrade options (mostly more damage upgrades for your main tower)
-the ability to repair your towers
-firing radius visible when a tower is selected.

I still enjoyed it very much though. Good job man.

[Terra strike]

seems cool enough

I realllly think that you should release a full game with like 20 missions though. That would be awesome.

More suggestions:
-Grammatical errors. Have someone proofread it before you release it.
-Accuracy still seems to suck when you get closer to the enemy. If i'm standing just outside of close combat range more bullets should be hitting. Decrease that angle of fire a bit please.
-Close combat suggestion: Have button symbols (WASD) pop up on the screen and if you don't press them in time you take damage. If you do press them quick enough you hurt the enemy. I think that's a bit better than "hit spacebar really fast"
-and of course lots of upgrades and weapons are a huge bonus if you can manage it.

Good luck! I think this has the potential to be a really great game!

And everything ran fine for me. No bugs. I have the latest flash player (10.something)

[50 Optical Illusions]

no skill

I doubt it took very much skill to copy these illusions and add your own poor explainations to them.

You get a three for your preloader.

[Get Off My Planet]

great, few issues though

I love the game design, just a few problems though.

-I think that it's a little too difficult. I've been trying for the last hour but I can't seem to get a good foothold in this game before i'm destroyed. More cash income could fix this problem. I also think that some items are overpriced.
-Energy seems to go way down between waves. Why is this?
-i agree that food should be based on current population. It was a major pain building new farms
-I noticed that the price to build new buildings continued to increase even if the old buildings were destroyed. The prices should be based on the current number of buildings you have of that type, not the total number you've built.

But i'll come back and keep trying it! Needs a little more polishing IMHo though.

[Dodge.]

epic dodger!

You took the simple concept of Geometry wars and made one of the most fantastic games of this type i've ever seen! I was just sitting by my comptuer smiling while the enemies destroyed eachother. It was just... fun. Excellent work.

My only suggestion would be to add a "survival" or "unlimited" mode where enemies just keep coming, and you only have one health boost that you activate with spacebar. A few more levels and enemy types would have been welcome as well.

Tips:
-The walls are your friends
-Snipers are your friends as well

Oh, and I favourited this as well. I'll be coming back to play it often I think.

moogoat responds:

Yep, got a few new features planned for a sequel, and one of them's "Survival" mode!

Thanks for the review :D

[Sin Mark]

very good

I love what you have here. It can be improved though.

Suggestions:
-I'd like an experience system, with different stats you can upgrade (like in diablo)
-different buyable items (armour, bows)
-add a close range weapon you can switch to
-i'd like to be able to duck to dodge some arrows
-i'd like for enemies and damage values to appear in front of trees rather thn behind.
-upgrading skills would be nice. some became obsolete as I faced more powerful enemies. a skill tree would be cool

and that's it for my suggestions. PM me if you decide to make a second and need more ideas. I'm happy to help out.

[Time4Cat]

very elegant

Music was cool, and everything looked beautiful.
I would have liked more enemy types though. Great game!

[NG Sketchbook Tour 08]

hard not to give it perfect

-amazing idea.
-beautiful itnerface
-I loved the voice that announced the names. It just fit.
-everything was awesome
-loved how you threw a game in at the end.

Only complaint is that I would have preferred to use the arrow keys to move through the pictures. It's no big deal though.

Amazing job everyone.
