Allright but too many glitchs

It was a decent game at best I mean I found it fun till i realized how many glitches there were and that really brings down a game.

Well for starters The graphics and animation, this is the part were you excelled at, all the people and movements seemed to clean and smooth the background looked really polished and the sprites look really sweet.

Now onto the game play, this game runs like every other hack and slash shooter type metal slug. However I felt like you didn't really take the time to fully think through the whole fundamentals, you see this game could have had so much more to it like you needed to add in more then one directional shooting. You also really needed to make it easier I mean the AI for easy is just unbelievably cheap. You go up in the elevator and there already shooting before you enter. Now the glitches didn't really enter until you have to open the gate to get through (it has chains all over it) when the nazi's enter, the bullets that you shoot just fly right by them yet there's hurt you.

Now for a game that has beautiful artwork solid visuals but is weighed down by the uncaring gameplay and glitches you get a 6/10

Semi-Close to perfection

This is a great sequel to you fist classic game. In this game you added more power up and changed the overall game design which added a lot though I felt like something was missing from the background.

The touch ups of the game really added a lot to it. You included some nice animation as well a great Idea for a game that really seemed fair and balanced. The only thing I disliked about this was the background For one the types of games I feel like the background needs to more dynamic like the farther up you go the more the background changes which is where I felt like the game was lacking as you went up the only change was really only in color - it got darker. I felt like you could have added more effects the background that would symbolize that your getting higher and higher up.

Over all the power ups and very well though out new game design added a lot more and was a successful sequel.

Not very entertaining.

This game was mediocore. You add nothing new to this genre except for an unnecessary twist with building a palace.

Bubble shooters are pretty lame in general sure they were cool at a time but now they all just moosh together into some medicore gameplay stock pile. Which leads me to the gameplay.

The gameplay is a standard bubble shooter match 3 bubbles rinse repeat until none are left. It's hard to put a new spin on such an outdated genre and it was nice to you see you tried. The only problem was that it just seemed to unnecessary. Did I really need to build a palace and gather resources? you eventually making to game go through a whole tail spin of confusing spins mixed with mediocrity.

What was fun at first when just an average bubble shooter leads its way into an unnessasry struggle of an unexacutable spin.

5/10

[Faith Fighter]

Not very exiting :(

This game has a funny idea by taking characters who are peacefull and forcing them to fight, however I found that the gameplay was lacking the same fun as the graphics.

The Graphics ere top notch everyone in the game looked the way they should be and were not portrayed in any sort of offensive way (not including Mohammad) I also liked how the characters movement affected the surrounding environment which I thought was pretty sweet.

However graphics cannot carry a game all the way. The key element in all games is good gameplay which is what this game lacked. What I thought could have been done much better was if you made it more of a button masher rather then one attack and a lot of combos. I say this because all the way through all you had to do is just hold down the spacebar which ruins the whole fighting button mashing spirit. Now I know your probably saying "If you don't like holding down space bar then why do it?" Well my friend I felt as if the combos were a little to hard to really get down in time to attack which is more fighting spirit but I felt that it was just trial and error except it was more like trial and error and error and error and error.

With great garphics but horrid gameplay you get a:

4/10

[Coffee Shop]

Fun game.

Very fun and addictive, classy game anyone can enjoy.

This game has a lot of things everyone can get into. This is a superb simulation of how a well er, coffee shop (really stand would be a more appropriate term) works, without getting to complex.

For starters the graphics were top notch, the artist did a good job at captivating and giving life to a beautiful 2-D scenery.

the coding commissioner did an excellent job as well, it was very well noticeable that both teams (graphics and coding) went above and beyond anyones expectations. Great job.

One thing I really didn't like about this game was that you only stay i none place, I think it would be a good idea for a second one where after time goes on you grow bigger then just a stand. This would add to the games content as well as give it some new perks.

Another thing that bugged me was the little amount of characters there were. There really was only 4 or 5 different looking people that would pass by your shop and the road would get cluttered with 5 or 9 businessmen all in the same area.

all in all a solid game with 2 misperceptions.

8/10

[Portal: The Flash Version]

Great game with one fatel flaw :(

This game has it all a master full flash remake which has more levels then the original package itself but falls short with aiming.

This game is massive and easily out does it's original with content. Though the gaming is all based around an already done concept all the levels felt unique and fresh and most importantly different, The only problem that I had with this was the aiming because it some parts it just felt awkward which made it hard to shoot especially in parts where you need to fast with the mouse.

The graphics were top notch and gave off a great sucess for the flash.

While the aiming felt a bit off the graphics and gameplay elements quickly surpassed that image. And in a game that vastly conquers it's original.

A 9/10.

[Starbound]

New spin on an old game.

This was a very fun game that still needs a few tweaking here and there.

I found the graphics to be beautiful and they really paint a picture as to what kind of game this is. Hwever there was one fault that I had with them, after you finish the sky region the background graphics just change completely I think it would have been nicer to look at if they faded into the next stage.

The coding seemed fine however I think that there could have been maybe a counter for how long the power up lasted because sometimes it just felt random when I lost the wings and it didn't really make any sence. Also I think there could have been more power ups as well.

It was a fun game, a basic idea is still very addictive. But with one powerup that go away randomly makes this game a little less then perfect.

8/10

` Happy new year.

[Newgrounds Sig Maker 1]

Cool sigs nice start.

Well yeah this great easy and simple was to make a nice Sig. While as there is a couple of faultiness inside it is still great.
Pros:
- Fun easy and simple
- Most finishing touches look great.
- great music

Cons:
- most fonts don't work
- Sometime the buttons don't work
- Some labels are hard to read due to the background color

Work on for 2:
- Try and make it possible to allow us to download the sig so we wont have to jump through hoops to upload it
- Allow for more affects with the fonts
- The ability to upload a picture and crop it to our needs

7/10

[Newgrounds Rumble]

Holy mother of all that is holy!

Dammit you guys have done it again in this amazing fighting game.
Pros-
-Great graphics add new styles to some great flash on newgrounds
-Very fun a great button masher.
-Very inventive. The ways you incorporated New grounds themes. Was very well done
-Perfect character A.I coding seemed like a game you would want to spend 50.00 on
-All around fun

Cons.
- Not much to say except for powerups on many stages all the powerups all came in the same place on stadium I don't know if this was intentional but the powerups got boring because there was never a real challenge when getting them
- Some cplaces were hard to reach due to jump

Final Cut
10/10 great game with fun unlockables

Favorites.

NegativeONE responds:

Yeah, there are one or two fixed powerup locations in each level. I'm not really a fan of them appearing randomly. It brings a new level of strategy and intuition when you can incorporate those sorts of things right into the level design. Thanks for your comments :)
