El-Syd's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Orbital Decay]

Nice

Extremely addictive, it could use music maybe, but I would not say it is necessary due to the highly addictive quality of the game, but still, it would be good. The upgrades system is awesome since it allows for a lot of strategy when it comes to what to improve first, as far as going for tons of drones, a few drones that are strong many guns, a few powerful ones and any mixture of these. Because of this, the game has TONS of replay value, and I really just have to congradulate you on a game well done.

Karg responds:

hey, thanks! as for the music, i ran into some (communication) problems while trying to license an awesome chiptune/8-bit soundtrack...hopefully there'll be in the next games :)

[Code Monkey Tycoon]

cool simulator

I didn't get too far into playing it because I am somewhat tired right now and dont have the focus for a game like this right now, I put it in my favorites though, so I can delve deeper into the gameplay later on, from what I did see, the graphics and sound were excellent, and I noticed this right off the bat, The Entire system of the game looks quite complex and like it would be a VERY fun game to play cause I'm really into games like this. I'm excited to play it more hopefully tomorrow, but so far great game, I enjoyed playing it even if for a short time

thomas-devon responds:

Thanks for your review, we are glad that you liked the graphics (it was a nightmare to render all those images).
We will be modifying the gameplay according to users' suggestions (clicking so much can be painful after a few hours), but the general spirit of the game will remain the same.

[Shambhala Attack]

nice

good challenge here, the gameplay gets a bit repetitive though after a while, the graphics are nice and the controls are simple enough, but you should add music to the game. On that note, the music you did have, the song on the menu was really well done, so good work on that. A fun game for those wanting to test their timing and aim.

PS how long have you been playing keyboard? it sounds very professional.

kerwyn3 responds:

I've been playing for a while, but I'm not on a pro. level. Thanks very much though!

[Aoyama And Furious]

cool game

Some of the voice effects could be better at the end of the race, but the drawings and gameplay are good, and the control system while being very unique still feels very natural and easy to control, so overall, nicely done.

Rapt responds:

We will try to improve the audio.

Thanks for your review!

[Gangster Bros. 1.0]

Swweeeeet

nice game man, good use of the original style while at the same time giving it a uniwue flavor all it's own, the graphics are very cool, and the sound effects are good as well most importantly though, the controls are easy to master and gameplay rocks.The death animation is pretty cool too, also the use of ambient noise rather than music was a very original idea, and rarely used and is what pushed this from me giving it a nine to me giving it a full ten. Keep up the good work. PS, it seems like a lot of work went into this how long did it take you guys to make this?

Dagio responds:

It took over two years with quite a few breaks in between. Thanks for the review.

[Tank Commando!]

hmmm

A decent test, but don't forget to add sound effects and music, and the white bars on the side look unprofessional, if there is something there, be sure to use an actual layer with a background, because autobackground does not work on all browsers, also dont let the enemies spawn in the middle of the screen because it looks kind of cheesy, nice controls, they are easy to use and very responsive. Out of curiousity, how many levels will this have?

DaftGames responds:

We're thinking of increasing the difficulty for each level in a space invaders or missile command manner. We understand that there are many things wrong with this flash, but the intent behind it is to be a beta test, get the functions all working, get the game play elements down and gather a feel for what should be implemented.

[Siran's Stab]

Too fast

So amny things pop up and once and move away too fast for this to be fun, it looks like it could be a good game, it just needs to be slowed down a lot, at least at the beginning, and maybe work it's way up to that spped as you get into higher levels, the graphics are fucking great though, and the music matches very well. This definitely has the potential to be a 10 /10 game, it just needs those adjustments.

Bratchan responds:

The template that we used is a bit weird but ill see if i can tinker with it some to slow it down some more. >.< Its all random of how fast they go up and down. Thank you very much for the crit ^.^

[RESCUE SAM]

Cool game

and a nice test of speed and hand eye coordination as well, great grahics, and nice choice making the screen large it's a good thing to do and many people don't realize it. I do wish though that there was more animation besides just the elctricity, such as maybe the character having slight convulsions when the pulses hit or something, and maye add afew more levels with higher difficulties, other than that nice game.

Melfina195 responds:

thank you SOOO much for the response! This has been an awesome experience for me.

[Naruto EX Demo v2.1]

Cool demo

I can't hear the sound effects though (except for the loader's) Nice gameplaythough, and I'd say you have a sucessful demo on your hands, out of curiousity, how many levels are you making?

HaloHeadProdutions responds:

5 lv's

[Uniwar Level 2]

Fun

Nice work here, very fun and well put together. Much better Than I would have expected for a random flash from back in the day. I really enjoyed playing that, it was enjoyable, and had a decent challenge to it as well when it came to the boss. All in all, good work.
