El-Syd's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Savanna Blocks]

A nice game

I always like games that are mouse drawing oriented, also, great choice of music.

[Krazzy Train]

nice

This must be one of the most interesting snake games, great concept, and nice control.

[Fun Personality Quiz]

Very Interesting

As far as a flash, it was very well done, the music matched your mood well and the graphics were tranquil and soothing to the eye which matches your concept. As far as a concept, this is very interesting, and actually quite accurate, some people may be sceptical to this, but it's not a mystical thing or anything it's dealing with human psychology and how we interpret the world around us. This test definitely does a good job of decoding this. The only thing I would change is the fact that at the end it turns out to be a "chain- mail" type flash that is intended to be sent to an unending chain of people, I hate chain mail, and don't think it's something you should really do. After all this is an interesting quiz and I might want to share it with a few friends anyway, but because it's a chain mail, it would seem kind of weird to send to anyone, because they would assume that I just sent it to them because I felt obligated by the Chainmail asking me to send to a set number of people, rather than that I sent it to them for them to enjoy. You should definitely change that. Other than that good work.

[The Annoying Test]

hmmm

Not very original, there are loads of "random" tests like this one on Newgrounds, and also, It really does need some backround music and maybe some button sounds, how did you try to import your sounds, to library or to stage? If you have trouble getting sound in just let me know if I can help.

Blacktay responds:

I import the sound (mp3, for example) to the library, but it says "Read error".

EDIT: Okay, I fixed it. Now, you can listen audip while you play this game.

[Advanced Sprites Tutorial]

I'm sick of shitty sprite flashes

And I think this tutorial could definiteley help people get off on the right foot when it comes to sprite flashes. It is very detailed but laid out in a very specific step by step format which streamlines it perfectly. You definitely had a good point too when you said be original. When people use pre-existing characters, they MUST be original in order for their flash to have appeal, so I'm glad you emphasized that point, all in all, this is a very well done professional quality tutorial, keep up the good work.

PaperBat responds:

Thanks, i'm glad to hear we succeeded in doing what we wanted to do :)

[Simons Revenge]

So simple ...

yet so fun, great twist on an old favorite, I had a lot of fun with this one. Also, they say that memory games may help with memory of actual things and may actually reduce risk of alzheimers later in life, so this game's good there too, keep up the good work.

[Sheep Herd]

So simple

Yet so fun. Very original keep it up!

[Simpsons Arcade ONLINE]

The game loads

but then won't connect to where it's supposed to, it seems like it would be a cool game, but you should always test things to make sure they work before they are uploaded.

Explain responds:

I appologise for the up time of the server... it was the only free-hosting one I could find.

[Midnight Massacre]

Very well made

It doesw seem a bit laggy at times, but altogether, it's quite well made, and drawn in a cool style.

[Odd Todd: Cook-Ay Slots]

I love the hand made style

And I like the fact that the sound effects are "homemade". It gives the game a really cool feel.
