El-Syd's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Spellbook]

Hmmm

I agree, it is hard to categorize this as one particular genre or type, it is a fun gadget whatever it is and probably very good flash practice as you've done several small animations for it and coding for various buttons, very creative for sure and fun to browse through. I would suggest you do a follow up flash movie of some adventure, and have it based around the character who reads this book, it's always good to have a way to tie things together, and for you, this book might do just that.

AMOE responds:

I do intend to make follow-ups, if you noticed at the end, it tells you so :p

[Red Tape Blago Breakout]

Nice game but...

For some reason, your sound is not working in this game, you should always be sure to check that sort of thing before submitting, other than that , it's a nice political piece, and a nice arkanoid remake.

srecinto responds:

Sorry El-Syd,
We did not put any sound in the game as we were pressed for time (prior to Blago's impeachment) I will make a note of this though for an updated version

[Eye witness]

Nice memory game

Character design bears a striking resemblance to wii avatars. Game is a fun challenge, not too hard, but hard enough to be interesting, all in all it's very fun.

JeremyW responds:

Hi. That's what they are based on. Wish I had a Wii.

Cool little gadget

The trees visual dipiction was a good idea and it is interesting to see it form, this is a cool gadget, and could be useful also for certain people depending on its application, very interesting man, well done, hopefully people won't down grade this out lack of being a game, but either way nice job man.

roundpixlgames responds:

Thanx man... I appreciate the nice comment.

[lol;lklsnkjcfbn]

Nice dressup game

The magnetic effect of the clothes to the correct position was a good idea, you may want to have the music play by default to start out with to make sure people know its there, drawings were simple but good, you may want to add more clothing options as well, your menuscreen looked very nice and professional. keep up the good work, this was a great first submission.

hippolythos responds:

i might add more clothes over time but the space was verry limited so... i'll have to find a solution for that ^_^ and thanks for the positive comment ^_^

[Geoffrey's Quest]

Wow

Very ingenuitive and creative. I really liked this one a lot it had a way better creepier mood to it than the average escape game, very fun to play and a good challenge at times, I totally fucked up at the end But this game is great man. I love this and your other escape games. Keep up the good work man, I'm a big fan.

JunkYardAnimations responds:

sweet, thanks a lot

[High scores Tutorial]

Nice tutorial

Could be more polished up design wise, but that's not really the point of a tutorial I guess. This is good, because I really notica alot, and I mean a LOT of games come through the protal that could benefit from having a highscores table, but which don't have them, I would reccommend this tutorial for anyone who wants to make their games more enjoyable by adding an element of healthy competition.

iamrunegecko responds:

Thanks for the great review, i think i may polish it up a bit like you recommended.

[Avatar Maker V.1]

hmmm

not a lot of options, but it was fairly well drawn and the animated mouth was something I haven't seen before. You should just add more options, and make the eyes animated movie clips that blink occasionally as well. You're really on to something here.

Devn responds:

thx for the idea

[Escape - by Critter2002]

hmm

can't seem to turn around, and the key won't unlock the door and there doesn't seem to be anything else for it to unlock, the poster slides under the door, but seems to serve no real purpose, I could be wrong, but is this game even finished, cause I'm usually pretty good at these but this seems to have a lot of holes. There's also no tool or method that seems to be able to knock the key out of the keyhole. It seems like a good game, but I really just can't tell.

Critter2002 responds:

As I mentioned in the comments section, there was originally intended to be a second level where the key you're talking about was going to be used. You can however finish the game and there is a way to get the key out of the hole, just keep trying.
Thanks for the review though :)
