Fishslap's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Project: Monochrome]

I love it!

Wow, you wasted a whole evening of mine! This is tons better than raiden X and should be very top of the portal! *ahem* normally I'm a very strict reviewer, but as here I can't be nasty I shall be constructive instead.

With the gameplay I find it very entertaining and I like the fact that there are no homing missiles for the lazys, so it always requires actually moving, and dodging bullets ect. I like the fact that your lives respawn, so that better players don't get it easier in later levels (as in raiden), and I like the fact that you ditch the "pick up powerups and get into places where you are easily shot" for "buy your weapons sensibly and switch between at will".

The graphics are nice and the shading is done well. I'm not sure if the stylish b+w is better than the clear & fun full colour, but it looks nice at the moment so I won't complain about it (I had fun messing with invert colours).

The sound is a little annoying and I favoured weapons which made almost no sounds because the weapons are pretty bad, and yet I didn't turn sound right off because there is a certain thrill that only comes with a big explosion when killing a boss. The music complimented it and didn't take over, so that was pretty good.

Style finally is awesome. I like the setup, the menus, and as said the b+w works well. I really can't say anything to add that would make a sequel better, it's spot on as it is.

Awesome review man, I like good reviewers. YOU SIR, ARE A GOOD REVIEWER

[Punk-o-matic]

Awesome!

I loved it! Is there any way to export the music I made? Because I made a one minute track so I could put it in my flashes ect (with credit obviously), and it would be nice to be able to drop it in.

[Virtual Keyboard V. 2.0]

I'm learning...

That's pretty interesting, and quite good. Maybe the keys should have no gap between lighting up, and instead have a time bar above with dots or something on, and when the dots pass a certain point you have to press, so music illiterates like me know when we should press instead of waiting for it to light up and jumping on it the second after it does. 2 more things; a sheet of the actual notes, and the FFVII battle tune would both be cool.

[Dad 'n Me]

Good, but glitchy

I was unfairly massacred by the rapper, because I was shot, bounced off a wall, shot again, bounced off the wall again, and repeated until death, and I had almost full health before that. I don't think this should sit at the very top of the portal all the time, because it is not perfect in any way, but just gets a lot of coverage that make people play it.

[Underfoot 1.2]

Fun!!

This is hard, but it is also fun. I am genuinely suprised, because it has everything a bad game has, and somehow still pulls it off. May be hard for those who can't read too fast, but it does work. PS, the last boss link didn't work for me, then the window closed itself. Was that deliberate?

[Blow Boat]

Stupid twat

This is crap, you should learn that if you want a game to work then you should think "will this work". Never ever say "you can't afford a mic" because I can't plug in a microphone, and don't say I shouldn't winge! *same applies for a numpad, it is an expensive laptop (I most definitely can afford a mike you twerp) and to save on size it only has USB sockets and no numpad.*

[Green & Black]

Cool

Wow, I'm impressed. How did you get the car game 3d on a flash based site?

Glaiel-Gamer responds:

it was an engine that he got from some other site, and then used that engine (it still is flash) to make his game

[Defend Your Computer]

Wow

I really like this, it is one of the best games on the site as far as I can be bothered to look :) It runs smoothly and along with that it made me realise that I shouldn't have been downloading something huge while playing...

[Yoshi's Castle [DEMO]]

Okay-ish..

It's not too bad for a beta demo but the egg throwing should just be click to throw, ot click and hold. Very sharp graphics i'll give you that, so maybe you could put speech in and maybe make the dialogue a bit quirky? And yes the text is too slow...
