ShadowMan44's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Alpha 1.0]

The graphics remind me of flash games from 2004-2008 which is a nice welcome but what isn't a nice welcome are the controls. The movement feels sluggish at best, and having J as the fire button makes my hands feel really cramped when jumping and shooting. I feel like L would have been a better choice for this type of control setup. The green coins as far as I'm concerned don't serve a purpose whatsoever. Maybe collecting 20 of them can earn you a free hit point?
Overall I think this should use a bit more work before it can be passable by today's standards.

LobsterCrack responds:

Yeah, it's the alpha version. I posted it to get an opinion.

[A Super Trashy Game!]

I can forgive it's simplicity but for a game that the goal is to dodge as many things as possible, you really should have a counter telling you how many falling blocks you've dodged.

If you add that in, it'll make this game a half decent time killer.

CrazyRaccoonGames responds:

I'm doing that right now.

[Ball jump]

While the concept of this game isn't exactly new, it could have been a lot more better.

For starters, the graphics are extremely basic, but they're not completely terrible.

The one thing this game absolutely needed was a score counter, a game like this needs a way to keep track of your score. Otherwise there is no point in playing it.

ediltonfigueiredo responds:

we just added a simple score system, but in time it will be improved
Many thanks for your review.

[The Illusory Wall]

Yeah, it's real nice when the game has arrow key controls that will scroll the page up and down with it.

Nocity responds:

I didn't notice this problem at first because it doesn't seem to occur in Firefox and I'm surprised I didn't find it during my routine testing in other browsers. I'll take care of it as soon as possible. I appreciate the fact that you brought my attention to it (even though your rating is somewhat painful). Thanks.

EDIT: I fixed the scrolling issue so using arrow keys should be fine now.

[Dungeon Kriper 2]

This is surprisingly good, I hope this gets front paged.

Jaszczomp responds:

I hope so! I spent much time creating content and implementing it into the game, so, yea, it would be nice!

[Bubble Pop]

As simple as a mobile phone game. Not really worth releasing on a flash game website.

DarkArcherZxZ responds:

Thank you for your honest opinion. I will be adding more features to make it a bit more complex and pc game worthy. Thanks for the review :)

[RedPixel]

Extremely dodgy controls.

Bad graphics (you could at least give them a little more detail)

It would've been better if there were sound effects instead of a really annoying tune playing in the background.

YaKuuu responds:

Firstly, Graphics are intended this way.
Secondly, there are sounds effects.

And about controls, that's probably because you've got lags. I'm currently working on the game optimization.
