simbrian's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Z-Rox]

superb puzzle

This is a very good game. The real difficulty lies in knowing what the shapes are called. I got all of them without any problems until level 31, when I decided to retire since I don't feel like looking up shape names right now.

I'd add a scoring system that is based on your number of incorrect attempts, and maybe an easier mode (for children) that has multiple choice, but with scoring only available on higher levels.

[Kaleidoscope Reef]

beautiful

an enjoyable little game, very well done.

I only wish there were more of the colors you need when you start getting the color-specific polyps.

[Teddy Bears' Picnic]

very nice

but my only concerns were the lack of a mute button and the problem with the aiming system. I was having problems with aiming right at enemies and firing only to somehow miss them. You'll need to fix that, but the best way to live with it is to fire a lot and hope for the best.

willcheng responds:

I'm not sure what you mean by a problem with the aiming system. You do need to try and get a central hit as much as you can to destroy the toy.

And there is a mute button.

Thanks for the review!

[Formula D]

ehhh..

It's almost a good game. Like i read below, I want to like it, but I can't. The controls are way off, but if you fix that it would definitely help the game A LOT.

[Mental Training]

good

just a few problems I noticed:

-firstly, the money ones are in euros. It's very similar to the north american currencies, but an option to choose our country/region would be nice.
-after you level up, the girl says she is going to get one of her brothers, and another girl came out. Maybe it should be "i'm going to go get one of my friends" or something like that.

In the end, I just stopped playing because I got bored. It was getting gradually more difficult, but i'm good at that sort of thing, and I don't need any more practise at it. Still, the whole thing is beautifully-made. You did a very good job on this and you should be proud of your work. The atmosphere that the game radiates reminds me of the wii for some reason. But that IS a good thing.

[Whiteboard Tower Defense]

a good, solid TD

Well, not much to say. It's pretty much a perfect TD game. Only problems were that that cash tower that gives you a reward bonus is pretty much useless. It was also FUNNY! Funny games are fun.

I'm voting to put this in the defence collection.

[444 Presents - Catapult]

simple and fun

well my summary says it all. Neat physics work in this one. I would have liked slower ball acceleration (for easier control) and maybe larger/more/moving targets to mix it up a bit.

Bobby444 responds:

Ok maybe I'll slow down the ball a bit. It's quite a fast game at 120 FPS.

[- 30 Seconds -]

fun

Well if you have 30 seconds to kill, give it a try!

A fun little game, I got a score of 43 on my second try.

Good job guys.

[B.o.B (DEMO)]

excellent!

Firstly, I strongly suggest going to Xgenstudios to play the full version. There are other good games there too.

Secondly, to the Demo haters. Serously, you're idiots. If you don't like the fact that it's a demo, keep it to yourself. Reviews are for writing about the actual game.

Now that I have that out of the way, on with my review...

This is an awesome game. Everything about it is awesome. This will easily rise above Sonny and make top 50 soon enough i'm sure. Awesome.

[Tower Defence - F.O.G.]

good

Well it's a good game, just like Defend Your Castle. Beautifully-animated as well.

Lack of upgrades and awkward controls made gameplay irritating. Dragging guys and throwing them offscreen isn't too easy, and for some reason the game starts at a high difficulty, and then drops down before building up again.

The special abilities also regenerate quickly enough that you can just use those constantly.
